Off-Chain
Infrastructure
Operations occurring outside the blockchain state.
Off chain refers to computation, storage, or coordination that happens outside the blockchain. Systems can bring results on chain using proofs or trusted feeds. This reduces fees and latency for many use cases.
Frequently asked questions
Why use off chain systems?
To reduce costs, improve speed, and handle private or complex computations that do not need to be on chain.How do off chain results reach contracts?
Via oracles, bridges, or proofs that summarize computation for on chain verification.What are the risks?
Trust in data sources or relayers. Use well known providers and verify with multiple sources when possible.
