Optimal Communication Complexity

Definition

Optimal communication complexity refers to the minimum amount of data exchange required between participants in a distributed system to achieve a specific computational goal. In the context of blockchain, this concerns minimizing the messages nodes must send to reach consensus or validate transactions efficiently. Achieving optimal communication complexity is vital for improving network scalability and reducing latency, especially in large-scale decentralized environments. It directly impacts network bandwidth usage and processing speed.
