Scalable Data Processing

Definition

Scalable data processing refers to a system’s ability to efficiently handle increasing volumes of data and transactions. In blockchain contexts, this involves designing protocols and architectures that can maintain performance and throughput as network usage grows. Solutions often include sharding, layer 2 solutions, and optimized consensus mechanisms to distribute computational load. Effective scalable data processing is essential for blockchains to support widespread adoption and complex applications.
