Definition ∞ An object-centric architecture in blockchain design structures the ledger around individual digital objects or assets, rather than around accounts or global states. In this model, each object possesses its own state and can be directly manipulated by its owner through transactions specific to that object. This approach offers enhanced parallelism for transaction processing and improved data encapsulation. It provides a more granular and secure way to manage distinct digital items.
Context ∞ Object-centric architectures are gaining prominence in discussions about next-generation blockchain platforms, particularly those focused on high-throughput applications involving unique digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens and tokenized real-world assets. Debates often contrast this model with traditional account-based systems, considering trade-offs in programmability, security, and developer experience. A critical future development involves the widespread adoption and standardization of object-centric design patterns to unlock new possibilities for digital asset interaction.
