Network Model Relaxation refers to the adjustment or loosening of strict assumptions or parameters within a blockchain’s underlying network model. This process is often undertaken to improve aspects like scalability, transaction throughput, or energy efficiency. However, such modifications require careful evaluation to ensure they do not compromise the network’s fundamental security or decentralization properties. It represents a trade-off analysis.
Context
Discussions around Network Model Relaxation are common in the context of blockchain scalability research and the development of layer-2 solutions. Proposals often seek to balance the strict requirements of a fully decentralized network with the need for higher performance. Future protocol designs may incorporate more adaptive network models that can dynamically adjust parameters based on network conditions, aiming for optimal operation.
