A Dedicated Chain is a blockchain network specifically designed and optimized for a single application or a restricted set of functions. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, it does not share its computational resources with unrelated applications. This specialized architecture allows for tailored performance, enhanced security, and predictable transaction costs for its intended use case. It operates independently, providing sovereign control over its parameters.
Context
The proliferation of decentralized applications has heightened interest in Dedicated Chains as a solution for scalability and customization. Debates concern the trade-offs between the isolated efficiency of a dedicated chain and the network effects of a shared, larger blockchain. Future trends indicate an increase in application-specific blockchains, often interconnected within broader ecosystems, to meet diverse operational requirements.
