Resource Constraint

Definition

A resource constraint refers to a limitation on the availability of necessary inputs or capacities required for a process or system to operate effectively. In computing and blockchain contexts, this can pertain to limitations in processing power, network bandwidth, storage space, or energy consumption. These constraints often necessitate the development of optimized algorithms and efficient protocols to achieve desired outcomes within the available parameters. Managing resource constraints is fundamental to designing scalable and sustainable technological systems.
