Block Distribution Layer refers to a system that manages how blocks of data, particularly transaction records, are shared and disseminated across a network. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that all nodes in the network receive and validate new blocks efficiently.

This layer helps maintain consistency among distributed copies of the blockchain by ensuring that each participant has access to the latest validated information. By using various protocols, it optimizes the speed and reliability of data distribution, reducing the risk of forks—situations where the blockchain splits into two competing chains.

Additionally, the Block Distribution Layer can enhance scalability, allowing the network to handle a higher volume of transactions and users. Efficient distribution mechanisms can minimize latency, which is essential for real-time applications and user experience. In essence, it forms the backbone of communication within the network, ensuring that information is synchronized and available to all participants.
