Scaling Challenges

Blockchain networks face scalability challenges due to the need for all nodes to process every transaction. Layer 2 solutions address this by processing transactions off the main chain.

Layer 2 Solutions

  • State Channels: Off-chain transaction processing
  • Rollups: Batch multiple transactions together
  • Sidechains: Independent chains with bridge connections
  • Plasma: Hierarchical blockchain structure
  • Optimistic Rollups: Assume validity, challenge if needed
