Enhanced System Throughput

Definition

Enhanced System Throughput signifies an increase in the rate at which a digital system or network can process operations. In the context of blockchain, this specifically refers to the capacity of a network to validate and record a greater number of transactions per unit of time. Achieving higher throughput is a primary objective for scalability, enabling distributed ledgers to support a larger user base and more complex decentralized applications. Various technical advancements, including layer-2 scaling solutions, sharding, and optimized consensus algorithms, contribute to this improvement.
