Blockchain Trilemma Resolution

Definition

Blockchain Trilemma Resolution refers to the ongoing effort to simultaneously achieve decentralization, security, and scalability within a blockchain network. Historically, improvements in one aspect often necessitated compromises in another, posing a fundamental challenge for protocol designers. Resolution attempts involve innovative architectural designs and consensus mechanisms that seek to optimize all three properties without significant trade-offs. Success in this area is crucial for the widespread adoption and long-term viability of blockchain technology.
