Decentralized Finance Scaling

Definition

Decentralized finance scaling involves enhancing the capacity of DeFi protocols and underlying blockchains to handle a greater volume of transactions and users. This includes implementing solutions like Layer 2 networks, sharding, and optimized consensus mechanisms to reduce transaction costs and increase processing speed. Effective scaling is critical for DeFi to move beyond niche applications and support widespread adoption. Without it, network congestion and high fees hinder usability and accessibility.
