🔦✨ Spotlight on: Asynchronous Backing
Async Backing gives parachains a massive performance boost without sacrificing security.
Two main points👇
• Parachains produce blocks twice as fast! Every 6 seconds instead of 12.
• Faster execution from 0.5s to 2s, which equals 4x bigger blocks.
That means an 8x increase of throughput & even 10x when combined with proof-of-validity reclaim (filling unused block space).
Benefits for Devs 👩💻
They can focus on building more complex parachains/apps, that will scale easily even when the network grows. With Elastic Scaling coming this year, devs can allocate resources based on demand.
Benefits for Users 📲
→ A more responsive and seamless UX.
As blocks are validated more quickly, they benefit from lower latency and faster transaction confirmations, which is especially important for gaming chains like @playmythical, and DeFi protocols.
