Systemic Efficiency

Definition

Systemic efficiency describes the overall effectiveness and resourcefulness of an entire system, such as a financial market or a blockchain network, in achieving its objectives with minimal waste. In digital asset contexts, it relates to the ability of a network to process transactions rapidly, at low cost, and with high throughput, while maintaining security and decentralization. Enhancing systemic efficiency often involves optimizing underlying protocols, scaling solutions, and interoperability mechanisms. It represents the collective performance of all components within a given framework.
