Definition ∞ Decentralized ledger scaling refers to the methods and technologies employed to increase the transaction throughput and overall capacity of blockchain networks without compromising their decentralization or security properties. These solutions aim to address the limitations of earlier blockchain designs, enabling them to support a larger user base and more complex applications. Examples include sharding, layer-2 protocols, and various sidechain implementations.
Context ∞ Decentralized ledger scaling remains a primary focus in blockchain development, with constant news updates on various layer-1 and layer-2 initiatives. Debates often center on the trade-offs between scalability, security, and decentralization. Successful scaling solutions are crucial for the mainstream adoption of digital assets and the widespread use of decentralized applications.
