High-Throughput Network

Definition

A high-throughput network is a computer network designed to process a large volume of data or transactions within a given time frame. In blockchain technology, this refers to networks capable of handling a substantial number of transactions per second, addressing the scalability limitations of earlier designs. These networks often employ advanced consensus mechanisms, sharding, or layer-two solutions to achieve their performance objectives. They are essential for supporting widespread decentralized applications.
