High Performance Protocols

Definition

High performance protocols refer to blockchain or layer-2 solutions engineered to achieve substantially greater transaction throughput and reduced latency compared to foundational distributed ledger technologies. These protocols often incorporate advanced architectural designs, such as sharding, directed acyclic graphs, or highly optimized consensus mechanisms. The objective is to support a larger volume of users and complex decentralized applications, addressing the scalability limitations prevalent in earlier blockchain iterations. They are crucial for expanding the utility and adoption of digital assets.
