Decoupled Execution separates the processing of transactions from the network’s consensus process. This architectural approach allows for the independent operation and optimization of transaction execution and block validation, rather than combining them into a single, synchronous step. By separating these concerns, systems can achieve greater throughput, lower latency, and more flexible upgrade paths. Such designs aim to enhance overall blockchain scalability and efficiency.
Context
Decoupled execution is a prominent design principle in various next-generation blockchain architectures and Layer 2 scaling solutions, including some rollup designs. The objective is to overcome the performance limitations of monolithic blockchains by distributing computational load more effectively. This technical approach is a key area of innovation in the pursuit of higher transaction capacities.
Decoupled Execution separates probabilistic ordering from deterministic state execution, allowing independent scaling of throughput and storage capacity.
