Latency

Latency in the blockchain context refers to the time it takes for data to be transmitted across a network. Specifically, it is the delay between sending a request, such as a transaction, and receiving a confirmation.

High latency can lead to slower transaction speeds and delays in confirming transactions, negatively impacting the user experience.

In blockchain networks, minimizing latency is essential for improving scalability and ensuring timely transaction processing, especially for decentralized applications (dApps) and high-frequency trading platforms.
