Modular Blockchain Design refers to an architectural approach where a blockchain’s core functions are separated into independent, interchangeable components. Instead of a monolithic structure, functions like execution, data availability, consensus, and settlement are handled by distinct layers or specialized chains. This design allows for greater scalability, flexibility, and specialization, as each module can be optimized independently. It facilitates the creation of highly customizable and efficient blockchain networks tailored for specific applications.
Context
Modular blockchain design is a prominent trend aimed at addressing the scalability and flexibility limitations of earlier blockchain architectures. Current discussions center on the optimal distribution of functions across modules and ensuring secure interoperability between these layers. Future developments will likely lead to a proliferation of specialized blockchains and an improved ecosystem for developers to construct high-performance, application-specific networks.
