Message Complexity Reduction

Definition

Message complexity reduction is the process of minimizing the total number or size of communication messages exchanged within a distributed system. This optimization is crucial for improving the efficiency and scalability of blockchain networks, as excessive message traffic can lead to network congestion and slower transaction finality. Techniques often involve aggregating multiple messages into single communications or employing more efficient data encoding schemes. By lowering the communication load, message complexity reduction directly supports higher transaction throughput and lower operational costs for decentralized protocols.
