Latency incentives are mechanisms within a blockchain protocol designed to encourage participants to process and propagate information quickly. These incentives aim to reduce the time it takes for transactions to be confirmed and for new blocks to be added to the chain. They reward swift action and penalize delays. Such mechanisms are vital for maintaining high network performance.
Context
Latency incentives are a key consideration in the design of high-throughput blockchain networks and are often discussed in news concerning network upgrades or new protocol launches. The effectiveness of these incentives directly impacts transaction speeds and user experience. Optimizing latency incentives is a continuous area of development for improving blockchain efficiency.
