Scalable Network

Definition

A scalable network is one capable of handling a growing amount of work or users without compromising performance. In the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere, this refers to the network’s ability to process a high volume of transactions quickly and efficiently as its user base expands. Scalability is a critical factor for the widespread adoption of decentralized applications and digital assets, ensuring that the network remains responsive and cost-effective even under heavy load. Various technological approaches, such as sharding or layer-2 solutions, are employed to achieve network scalability.
