The Polkadot ecosystem took a significant leap in scalability by deploying asynchronous backing. But how can it help blockchains on Polkadot achieve higher throughput and enhance scalability and efficiency?
Async backing allows Polkadot-based blockchains to achieve 10x throughput through Polkadot’s parachain consensus protocol in combination with proof-of-validity reclaim.
What Is Async Backing?
First, let’s understand the backing process on Polkadot. Parachain blocks on Polkadot are generated by collators and sent to validators on Polkadot’s Relay Chain for backing. Backing is an initial verification step before inclusion when the parachain block is registered as the final block of the parachain and added to the Relay Chain. Initially, the backing process was synchronous, allowing parachain blocks to be built only on the latest Relay Chain block.
Async Backing decouples the dependency, allowing collators to build parablocks on older Relay Chain blocks and create mul
