Enhanced Throughput

Definition

Enhanced throughput refers to an increased capacity for a blockchain network to process a greater number of transactions per second. This improvement is a crucial scalability metric, allowing the network to handle higher transaction loads more efficiently and quickly. Achieving enhanced throughput often involves architectural changes, such as sharding, layer-2 solutions, or more efficient consensus algorithms. It directly addresses bottlenecks that can lead to network congestion and high transaction fees.
