Latency Optimization Meaning

The process of reducing delays in a system to achieve the fastest possible execution speeds. This involves a multi-layered approach, including hardware upgrades (fiber optic cables, specialized networking cards), software tuning (using low-level programming languages like C++ or Rust), and geographical placement.

For a trading firm, latency optimization might involve "kernel bypassing," where the data skips the operating system's standard processing layers to go straight to the application. It also involves "network topology" design, ensuring that data packets take the shortest possible physical path to their destination.

In decentralized systems, latency optimization focuses on "propagation speed"-how quickly a new block can be shared across a global network of nodes.

If a network can optimize its latency, it can handle more transactions per second (TPS) and provide a smoother, more "real-time" experience for users of decentralized applications.
