Definition ∞ Gateway Delegation is a mechanism where authority or responsibility for certain operations is transferred from a primary entity to a designated secondary entity or “gateway.” In blockchain systems, this might involve delegating transaction signing, data relay, or other protocol-specific tasks to an intermediary service. This process often enhances scalability, reduces direct interaction with the main chain, or improves user experience by abstracting complex operations. It enables more efficient and specialized handling of network functions.
Context ∞ Gateway delegation is a concept often found in news related to Layer 2 scaling solutions, interoperability protocols, and decentralized application architecture. Discussions center on how delegation can optimize network performance and reduce user friction. Reports on new bridging solutions or sidechain implementations frequently reference delegation as a method for managing cross-chain communication and asset transfers effectively.
