  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of efficient transaction processing in cryptocurrency exchanges. While the FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) scheduling algorithm is commonly used in many exchanges, including ours, it is not the only approach to transaction processing. Other exchanges may utilize different algorithms or a combination of algorithms to optimize performance. The FCFS algorithm ensures that transactions are processed in the order they are received, which can be advantageous in terms of fairness and transparency. However, it may not always be the most efficient approach, especially during periods of high demand. To enhance performance, exchanges may implement additional strategies such as batching transactions or prioritizing certain types of transactions. Ultimately, the goal is to provide users with a seamless and efficient trading experience while maintaining the integrity of the transaction process.
