Event-Driven

Definition

Event-driven refers to systems or architectures that react to occurrences or changes in state, known as events. In the context of blockchain and digital assets, this framework means that actions are initiated in response to specific events, such as a new block being mined, a transaction being confirmed, or a smart contract state change. Decentralized applications (dApps) often operate on an event-driven model, listening for on-chain events to trigger subsequent logic or user interface updates. This reactive approach enables efficient and responsive system interactions without constant polling.
