Turing completeness in blockchain allows for universal computation, enabling diverse applications and smart contracts with limitless computational possibilities.
In computer science and blockchain technology, the term “Turing completeness” describes a system’s ability to carry out any computation that a Turing machine is capable of.
A Turing machine is a theoretical model of computation that can simulate any algorithm, making it a benchmark for computational universality. The concept of Turing completeness traces its roots back to the groundbreaking work of Alan Turing, a British mathematician and logician. In 1936, Turing introduced the idea of a theoretical computing machine that would later become known as the Turing machine.
