Execution Preconfirmations

Definition ∞ Execution Preconfirmations refer to a mechanism where network participants provide an early, non-final indication of a transaction’s likely inclusion and ordering within an upcoming block. This preliminary signal occurs before the transaction achieves full block finality on the main chain. It offers quicker feedback to users.
Context ∞ This mechanism is frequently discussed in the context of improving user experience and reducing perceived latency on high-throughput blockchain networks, especially Layer 2 solutions. News articles may highlight its deployment as a key upgrade for decentralized applications requiring rapid transaction assurance.
