Introduction to the Scalability Problem Since its inception, blockchain technology has faced a persistent challenge: scalability. Early implementations, like Bitcoin, could barely process a handful of transactions per second (TPS), far below the throughput of traditional payment systems. This limitation hindered mainstream adoption, making blockchain inadequate for high-demand applications like large-scale commerce or social networks. However, over the years, engineers and researchers have developed innovative solutions to push transaction speeds toward—and beyond—a thousand transactions per second (TTPS). The Early Struggles: Limitations of First-Generation Blockchains First-generation blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum operated on a one-size-fits-all architecture, where every node verified every…
