Fast Transaction Speed

Definition

Fast transaction speed refers to the rapid processing and confirmation of digital asset transfers on a blockchain network. This characteristic is a measure of how quickly a transaction moves from initiation to finality, where it becomes irreversible and permanently recorded. It is determined by factors such as block time, network congestion, and the consensus mechanism employed by the blockchain. High transaction speed is essential for applications requiring real-time payments and scalable decentralized services.
