Blockchain Infrastructure Scalability

Definition

Blockchain infrastructure scalability refers to a blockchain network’s ability to process an increasing number of transactions and users without compromising performance. This capacity is critical for widespread adoption of decentralized applications and digital assets, as it addresses the limitations of early blockchain designs in handling high transaction volumes. Solutions include layer-2 protocols, sharding, and alternative consensus mechanisms, all designed to enhance transaction throughput and reduce network congestion. Achieving high scalability is a primary objective for many next-generation blockchain projects.
