Polkadot has implemented asynchronous backing, a pivotal upgrade enhancing the network’s flexibility in blockspace allocation and overall performance.
According to Polkadot, asynchronous backing provides an optimized approach for validating parachain blocks by its relay chain.
The upgrade would introduce a twofold acceleration in blockspace production time and a 3-5x increase in extrinsic per block, enhancing blockspace availability by 6-10x.
Polkadot's asynchronous backing is expected to support decentralized applications, catering to diverse sectors like Web3 gaming and DeFi.
