Scaling, in the context of blockchain technology, refers to the process of enhancing a network’s capacity to handle increased transaction volume and user demand. This involves implementing architectural improvements or supplementary technologies, such as layer-2 solutions or sharding, to boost throughput and reduce latency. Effective scaling is paramount for digital asset networks to achieve mass adoption and compete with traditional payment systems.
