Network scale measures the size and operational capacity of a computer network, quantified by parameters such as the quantity of connected nodes, active users, or the volume of data traffic it can process. This metric indicates a network’s ability to adapt to expansion and sustain performance amidst rising demand. It reflects the comprehensive operational extent and reach of a distributed system.
Context
For blockchain protocols, network scale is a fundamental factor influencing a system’s capability to facilitate extensive adoption and execute transactions with efficacy. The endeavor for greater network scale frequently entails deploying scalability solutions like sharding or layer-2 protocols, which aim to augment transaction processing volume. The current discussion revolves around attaining increased scale while safeguarding the fundamental principles of decentralization and security.
Arete introduces a novel sharding architecture that deconstructs State Machine Replication, enabling smaller, more secure shards for enhanced blockchain performance.
