Latency Optimization

Definition

Latency optimization is the process of reducing delays in data transmission and processing within a system. In blockchain networks, it involves minimizing the time taken for transactions to be broadcast, validated, and confirmed across distributed nodes. This includes improving network architecture, consensus algorithms, and data propagation methods to achieve faster transaction finality. Lower latency is essential for applications requiring high throughput and real-time responsiveness, such as high-frequency trading or interactive decentralized applications.
