Transactional Efficiency

Definition

Transactional Efficiency measures how quickly, cheaply, and reliably transactions are processed within a system. In blockchain contexts, this refers to the network’s capacity to confirm and finalize transfers of value with minimal latency and low associated costs. High efficiency is a critical attribute for systems aiming to support widespread adoption and frequent economic activity. It encompasses factors such as transaction throughput, finality, and the cost per transaction.
