Definition ∞ A high-throughput ledger is a distributed record-keeping system capable of processing a large number of transactions per second. This attribute is essential for applications requiring rapid and frequent data updates. Traditional blockchains often face limitations in this area, prompting the development of scaling solutions. Such ledgers are crucial for supporting widespread commercial adoption.
Context ∞ The pursuit of a high-throughput ledger is a central challenge in blockchain technology, as existing systems often struggle with scalability. Current discussions involve various Layer 2 solutions and alternative consensus mechanisms designed to enhance transaction capacity. Future developments aim to achieve speeds comparable to traditional payment networks while maintaining decentralization and security.
