Definition ∞ Specialized execution refers to the processing of particular types of transactions or computations on a blockchain by dedicated or optimized execution environments. This approach contrasts with general-purpose execution and aims to significantly improve performance for specific tasks. It allows for more efficient resource allocation within the network.
Context ∞ News about blockchain scalability and modular architecture often features discussions on specialized execution layers or parallel processing solutions. Reports explore how delegating certain computations to optimized environments can substantially enhance throughput and reduce latency for complex operations within a decentralized network. This method is vital for advanced blockchain designs.
