A scalable blockchain refers to a distributed ledger network capable of processing a high volume of transactions rapidly and efficiently, without compromising decentralization or security. Achieving scalability addresses a primary limitation of early blockchain designs, which struggled with low transaction throughput as user demand grew. Various layer-one and layer-two solutions are being developed to enhance this capability.
Context
Scalable blockchain solutions are a constant subject in crypto news, with reports often detailing upgrades, new protocols, and layer-two networks aiming to improve transaction speed and reduce costs. The ongoing race to support mainstream adoption drives innovation in sharding, rollups, and other throughput-enhancing technologies. The effectiveness of these solutions in balancing performance with decentralization remains a key discussion point.
