Definition ∞ Sublinear Overhead describes a system characteristic where the resources required for processing or storing information increase at a rate slower than the growth of the input data size. This property is highly desirable for scalable systems. It indicates efficient resource utilization as the system scales to handle larger workloads.
Context ∞ In the context of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, achieving sublinear overhead is crucial for improving network scalability and reducing the computational burden on participants. News often highlights innovations that promise to deliver this efficiency, such as advanced data compression or novel consensus mechanisms. This attribute is vital for the long-term viability and broad adoption of decentralized systems.
