Data availability scaling refers to methods that increase the capacity of a blockchain network to ensure that all transaction data is accessible to participants. These techniques aim to expand the amount of data that can be published and verified by network nodes. By optimizing data dissemination and storage, these solutions address bottlenecks that limit transaction throughput. This ensures that the integrity of the ledger can be consistently checked.
Context
This concept is central to the development of modular blockchains and layer-2 scaling solutions, such as rollups. Current discussions revolve around data availability committees and erasure coding schemes designed to provide robust guarantees without requiring every node to store all data. Advancements in this area are critical for achieving widespread adoption of decentralized applications by supporting higher transaction volumes.
