On-chain refers to transactions or processes that occur directly on the blockchain network. On-chain transactions are transparent, secure, and immutable, but they can be slower and more expensive compared to off-chain solutions.
Cardano implements off-chain state channels for scalability through peer-to-peer communication, cryptographic commitments, and dispute resolution mechanisms that enable parties to conduct off-chain transactions.
Ouroboros is Cardano's Proof of Stake consensus algorithm, ensuring decentralization, scalability, and security through randomly chosen slot leaders.
On-chain refers to transactions or processes that occur directly on the blockchain network.
Off-chain refers to transactions or processes that occur outside of the main blockchain network.
On-chain scaling involves making changes to the base layer of a blockchain to increase its capacity and performance.
