Smart Contract Performance

Definition

Smart contract performance describes how efficiently and quickly a smart contract executes its functions on a blockchain. This is the measure of a smart contract’s operational efficiency, encompassing its execution speed, gas consumption, and overall resource utilization on a blockchain network. This metric directly impacts transaction costs, user experience, and the scalability of decentralized applications. Optimizing smart contract performance is crucial for achieving widespread adoption and reducing network congestion.
