High latency refers to a significant delay in data transmission or processing within a system. It indicates a prolonged time between a request and a response, leading to slow performance. In blockchain networks, high latency can cause slow transaction confirmations and reduced throughput. This characteristic impacts user experience and system efficiency.
Context
High latency is a recurring topic in discussions about blockchain scalability and the performance of decentralized applications. Solutions such as layer-2 protocols and sharding aim to reduce latency, thereby enhancing network capacity. News often covers technological advancements seeking to address this constraint for broader adoption of digital asset systems.
This research introduces Proof-of-Transit Timestamping, a novel cryptographic primitive enabling tamper-evident audit trails for Bitcoin across high-latency, intermittently-connected interplanetary links.
