Off-Chain Ecosystem

Definition

An Off-Chain Ecosystem refers to the collection of applications, services, and activities that operate outside the main blockchain ledger but interact with it. These systems often handle transactions or data processing more efficiently by settling them off-chain, then periodically synchronizing with the primary chain. Examples include payment channels, sidechains, and various layer-2 scaling solutions. This approach aims to reduce congestion and costs on the main network.
