Data Availability Burden

Constraint

The data availability burden describes the systemic requirement for market participants to verify that all transaction information is accessible before validating state transitions in decentralized ledgers. Within the context of crypto derivatives and options, this necessitates that participants possess sufficient bandwidth and storage to reconstruct historical price feeds and order books independently. High volumes of onchain trading data exacerbate this hurdle, often forcing smaller actors to rely on centralized intermediaries for execution validation.
