👉 Island computing refers to a distributed computing paradigm where a group of geographically dispersed, often resource-constrained, nodes or "islands" operate autonomously but collaboratively to achieve a common goal, typically in the context of blockchain technology. Each island maintains its own local ledger and performs computations independently, but these islands can communicate and share data with one another through predefined protocols to ensure consistency and coordination. This approach enhances resilience, scalability, and privacy, as data remains within the boundaries of each island, reducing the risk of single points of failure and enabling efficient resource utilization across a decentralized network. Island computing is particularly useful in scenarios where centralized control is undesirable or impractical, such as in remote or offline environments.
