Decentralized System Scaling

Definition

Decentralized system scaling refers to the methods and technologies employed to increase the transaction throughput and processing capacity of blockchain networks while preserving their decentralized properties. This involves technical solutions such as sharding, layer-two protocols, or alternative consensus mechanisms. The objective is to accommodate a larger number of users and transactions without compromising security or censorship resistance. Effective scaling is essential for the widespread adoption of digital assets and decentralized applications.
