On-Chain Data Reduction involves techniques used to minimize the amount of information stored directly on a blockchain. This is achieved by moving large portions of data or computation off-chain, with only essential summaries or cryptographic proofs being recorded on the main ledger. The primary purpose is to decrease storage requirements and transaction fees, thereby improving network scalability and efficiency. It allows blockchains to process more transactions without increasing their data footprint proportionally.
Context
Crypto news frequently reports on various methods for on-chain data reduction, particularly in the context of layer-2 scaling solutions and data availability layers. Discussions often focus on innovations in data compression, batching transactions, and the use of cryptographic commitments or zero-knowledge proofs. The ongoing goal is to achieve greater network throughput and lower operational costs for decentralized applications.
