Parallelism

A system’s ability to allow multiple actors to progress on their tasks simultaneously without interfering with each other. On Cardano, parallelism goes hand in hand with concurrency, another key advantage of the EUTXO model. As parallelism aligns the transactions, concurrency processes them simultaneously. Thus, the maximum achievable parallelism increases as the level of concurrency increases. Through this process, performance and throughput improve.
