System Co-Design

Definition

System co-design is an approach where different components or layers of a system are designed together, considering their interdependencies. This methodology ensures that various parts of a complex system, such as a blockchain protocol and its applications, are optimized to work synergistically. It contrasts with sequential design, where components are developed in isolation, often leading to inefficiencies or compatibility issues. Co-design aims for holistic system performance by addressing interactions from the outset.
