Constant storage overhead denotes a system characteristic where the amount of storage required for a particular function or data structure remains fixed, regardless of the scale of operations or the number of items processed. This property is highly desirable in decentralized systems to ensure predictable resource consumption. It helps prevent storage costs from escalating with network growth. Such systems offer economic advantages for long-term data retention.
Context
Achieving constant storage overhead is a significant design objective for scalable blockchain architectures and verifiable data structures. Efforts focus on techniques like state compression and efficient proof systems to limit the data burden on network participants. This area of development is key to making distributed ledgers more accessible and sustainable over time.
