Modular Blockchain Scaling

Definition

Modular Blockchain Scaling is an architectural approach where a blockchain system separates its core functions, such as execution, data availability, and consensus, into distinct, specialized layers. This separation allows each layer to be optimized independently, leading to greater overall system capacity and efficiency. Instead of one monolithic chain handling everything, specialized chains or modules manage specific tasks. This design permits significant improvements in transaction throughput and network performance.
