Large Scale Applications

Definition ∞ Large scale applications are software programs or systems designed to handle a substantial volume of users, transactions, or data, requiring robust infrastructure and efficient processing capabilities. In the context of blockchain, this refers to decentralized applications (dApps) that can support millions of users and high transaction throughput. These applications push the limits of current blockchain technology.
Context ∞ The development of large scale applications on blockchain platforms remains a key challenge and objective for the industry, driving innovation in scalability solutions. Current discussions center on achieving the necessary transaction speeds and low costs to support mainstream adoption without compromising decentralization. Success in this area is crucial for blockchain technology to move beyond niche use cases.
