Definition ∞ High-throughput data refers to large volumes of information processed or transmitted rapidly and efficiently across a system. In blockchain contexts, this means the network can handle a substantial number of transactions or data operations per second. It is a critical characteristic for scalable decentralized applications.
Context ∞ Achieving high-throughput data processing is a primary objective for many next-generation blockchain protocols and layer-2 scaling solutions, aiming to overcome the limitations of earlier networks. Developments in sharding, optimistic rollups, and zero-knowledge proofs are central to improving data throughput. The ability to manage high-throughput data is crucial for mainstream adoption of blockchain technology.
