Incremental computation refers to a method of updating calculations based on changes to input data rather than recomputing the entire result. This approach allows for efficient processing by only recalculating the affected portions of a result when new information becomes available. It is particularly useful in systems where data is continuously updated and results need to be maintained in near real-time.
Context
The application of incremental computation is gaining traction in blockchain analytics and smart contract execution, where the need for timely and efficient state updates is critical. Discussions often center on its role in optimizing gas costs for complex on-chain operations, improving the performance of decentralized applications, and enabling more responsive user experiences within the digital asset ecosystem.
