Zero-Overhead Data Availability

Definition

Zero-overhead data availability refers to a system’s capacity to ensure that all necessary transaction data is accessible for verification by network participants with minimal computational or storage cost. This is a critical requirement for scalable blockchain architectures, especially those employing rollups or other layer-2 solutions. It means that data can be retrieved and checked without imposing significant burdens on individual nodes. This ensures the integrity and security of the network.
