Protocol Acceleration

Definition

Protocol acceleration refers to techniques and optimizations implemented to increase the speed and efficiency of a blockchain protocol’s operations. This can involve enhancements to consensus mechanisms, data propagation methods, or transaction processing algorithms. The primary goal is to improve network throughput, reduce latency, and lower transaction costs, thereby making the protocol more scalable and user-friendly. Protocol acceleration is a continuous effort to enhance the performance of decentralized systems.
