Blockchain State Scaling

Definition

Blockchain state scaling refers to methods that enable a blockchain to manage and process a growing amount of data and transactions. This technical process addresses the challenge of increasing the network’s throughput and data storage capacity without compromising decentralization or security. It involves techniques such as sharding, state channels, and various layer-2 solutions designed to handle more transactions off the main chain. Effective state scaling is crucial for blockchain platforms aiming for widespread adoption and utility.
