Using a Scalable Block Chain Solution, You Can Get a 100 Speed Up

This episode was originally published on March 11, 2021

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, our CEO and co-founder Matthew Gould talks all about scaling on public blockchains.

How can we scale blockchains so they can support ever greater numbers of transactions and functions without being crippled by huge fees and wait times? This has always been a big question in the blockchain space.

Matthew introduces some of the current problems, like gas prices. He shares ideas about how we might be able to scale blockchains without costs spiraling out of control. He also explains some concepts like zero-knowledge proofs, the Nakamoto consensus, and smart contract blockchains — and how all three of these have combined to make modern-day decentralization possible.

Some other ideas we touch on include state channels — a way to do lots more transactions while storing a lot less data, and side chains — a way to avoid high transaction fees or long waiting times when doing a lot of transactions. We also talk about some of the potential problems involved.
