Definition ∞ Decentralized application scaling addresses the challenge of increasing the transaction throughput and user capacity of decentralized applications (dApps) without compromising their core decentralization properties. This involves implementing various technical solutions to process more operations per second and accommodate a larger user base. Effective scaling is essential for dApps to attain widespread adoption and compete with centralized services. It permits the network to manage a growing volume of interactions efficiently.
Context ∞ Decentralized application scaling remains a central technical challenge and frequent topic in blockchain news, particularly concerning network congestion and transaction fees. Discussions often compare layer-1 solutions, such as sharding, with layer-2 solutions, like rollups and state channels. Future developments are focused on achieving higher throughput and lower latency while maintaining strong security guarantees across various blockchain architectures.
