Data Egress

Definition

Data egress is the process of data moving out of a network or system, typically to an external destination. This term specifically refers to data transfer from a private or controlled environment, such as a cloud service or blockchain, to a public network or another system. In digital asset contexts, data egress costs and security are significant considerations for dApps and services that interact with off-chain data. Managing egress efficiently is vital for controlling operational expenses and protecting sensitive information.
