Real-Time Applications

Definition

Real-time applications are software programs or systems that process data and respond to inputs with minimal delay, providing immediate feedback to users. In the context of blockchain, these applications enable near-instantaneous transaction confirmations or updates to decentralized applications. They are crucial for user experiences that require prompt interaction, such as trading platforms or interactive games. The ability to support real-time operations is a key indicator of a network’s performance capabilities.
