Computational utility represents the inherent value derived from a digital asset or blockchain network’s capacity to perform useful calculations or processing tasks. This utility extends beyond mere transactional value, offering services such as data storage, smart contract execution, or complex algorithmic operations. It quantifies the functional benefit provided by a system’s processing power. Such utility is a core component of many decentralized applications.
