Definition ∞ Low-Value Transactions refer to digital asset transfers involving small monetary amounts, often representing micro-payments or routine daily exchanges. These transactions typically carry minimal individual financial impact but can collectively strain network resources if not managed efficiently. Their prevalence highlights the need for scalable blockchain solutions that can process numerous small transfers without incurring disproportionately high fees. Facilitating low-value transactions is crucial for widespread utility.
Context ∞ The challenge of efficiently handling Low-Value Transactions is a recurring topic in discussions about blockchain scalability and user experience. High transaction fees and slow confirmation times on some networks can render micro-payments impractical. Layer-2 solutions and sidechains are being developed specifically to address these issues, aiming to reduce costs and increase throughput for smaller transfers.
