Decentralized execution refers to the processing of operations or computations across a distributed network of independent nodes, rather than on a single central server. Each node verifies and executes transactions autonomously, contributing to the overall state of the system. This method enhances censorship resistance and fault tolerance by removing single points of control or failure. It is a fundamental principle of blockchain technology and many digital assets.
Context
Decentralized execution is a core tenet of blockchain technology, ensuring that no single entity controls the network’s operations. Discussions often concern the trade-offs between decentralization, scalability, and security, frequently termed the “blockchain trilemma.” Advances in consensus mechanisms and layer-two solutions are continuously working to optimize decentralized execution for greater efficiency and broader application.
