Local computation refers to processing data and executing operations directly on a user’s device rather than relying solely on a centralized server or the main blockchain network. In the context of digital assets, this can involve client-side validation of transactions, off-chain state channels, or light client operations. It reduces network congestion and transaction fees by minimizing the data submitted to the global ledger. This approach enhances scalability and user experience for decentralized applications.
Context
The state of local computation in blockchain development is progressing as solutions for scalability and efficiency gain traction. News reports often discuss layer-2 solutions and sidechains that offload processing from mainnets. A critical future development involves further optimization of local computation techniques to enable more complex and responsive decentralized applications.
A novel Blockchain Epidemic Consensus Protocol (BECP) achieves superior throughput and lower latency for extreme-scale decentralized systems by leveraging randomized communication and local computation.
