Bitcoin scalability refers to the network’s capacity to process an increasing volume of transactions efficiently. This involves enhancing the transaction throughput per second without compromising the system’s core properties of decentralization or security. Solutions often include layer-two protocols or fundamental protocol adjustments aimed at boosting transaction capacity. These measures are critical for Bitcoin to support widespread global adoption.
Context
Discussions surrounding Bitcoin scalability frequently involve debates over block size limits and the adoption of off-chain solutions like the Lightning Network. News often covers advancements or setbacks in these scaling efforts, which directly impact transaction fees and confirmation times for users. Future developments continue to focus on optimizing network performance while preserving its fundamental principles. The ongoing effort to improve transaction handling remains a significant area of protocol development.
