Q » How does compact block relay improve performance?
02 Nov, 2025
A » Compact block relay improves blockchain performance by reducing the bandwidth required to propagate new blocks among nodes. Instead of sending the entire block data, it transmits only the block header and a list of short transaction identifiers. Nodes use their mempool to reconstruct the full block, minimizing data transmission and decreasing network congestion, leading to faster block propagation and enhanced overall network efficiency.
