How Does Cardano Implement Off-Chain State Channels for Scalability?

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, execute smart contract logic, and settle disputes off-chain, reducing on-chain congestion and latency while preserving security and trustlessness.
