Independent Scaling allows distinct components of a blockchain system to increase capacity separately. This architectural approach permits individual layers or specialized segments of a decentralized network to enhance their processing capabilities or data storage without mandating a synchronous upgrade across the entire system. It promotes modularity and optimized resource allocation, enabling solutions tailored to specific needs. Such a design improves overall system flexibility and performance.
Context
Independent scaling is a core tenet of modular blockchain design, where execution layers, data availability layers, and consensus layers can evolve and scale autonomously. This approach is viewed as crucial for achieving the massive transaction throughput required for mainstream adoption of decentralized applications. News reports often highlight projects developing infrastructure to support this disaggregated scaling paradigm.
Decoupled Execution separates probabilistic ordering from deterministic state execution, allowing independent scaling of throughput and storage capacity.
