EOS RAM: The foundation of blockchain performance and efficiency
EOS RAM is critical to the operation of the blockchain, it is not just storage, it also saves the working state of the chain in physical memory to achieve performance goals. This state contains elements such as contract tables, account permissions, and structures that facilitate lightweight verification. EOS users are effectively "billed" through RAM for physical memory usage, such as operations such as adding new table rows. This process ensures efficient data access and transaction processing, which is critical for the seamless operation and growth of EOS applications. Conversely, less critical data, such as historical information or data not involved in protocol consensus, is stored on slower disk storage. RAM is not just a storage medium, but a fundamental component that supports the overall performance and functionality of the EOS ecosystem.
