Small Instance Efficiency

Definition

Small instance efficiency refers to the optimized performance and resource utilization of a system when processing minimal transaction sizes or handling limited data loads. In blockchain and decentralized computing, this concept relates to how effectively a protocol or application operates with small amounts of data or low transaction volumes. It addresses the overhead costs and computational demands associated with processing even minor operations. Achieving high small instance efficiency is crucial for micro-transactions, IoT applications, and broad scalability.
