On-Chain Validation refers to the process of verifying transactions and data directly on a blockchain network. It involves cryptographic checks and consensus mechanisms executed by network participants to confirm the legitimacy of information. This validation ensures the integrity and immutability of recorded data. It is a core function of decentralized ledgers.
Context
On-chain validation is a fundamental characteristic of most blockchain protocols, distinguishing them from off-chain solutions. News often discusses the efficiency and scalability challenges associated with extensive on-chain validation, leading to the development of layer-2 solutions. The ongoing debate concerns optimizing this process to balance security, decentralization, and transaction throughput for digital assets.
