Definition ∞ Throughput Latency in blockchain systems refers to the combined measure of the rate at which transactions are processed (throughput) and the delay experienced before a transaction is confirmed (latency). High throughput indicates many transactions per second, while low latency means quick confirmation times. Both are critical metrics for network performance.
Context ∞ Discussions about throughput latency are central to news concerning blockchain scalability solutions and network upgrades. Improving these metrics is essential for supporting widespread adoption of decentralized applications and payment systems. Innovations like layer-2 solutions and sharding aim to address existing throughput latency limitations in major blockchains.
