CHAPTER

The Main Reason for Scalability of a Block Chain

The main reason for separating these different parts of a block chain into different layers is to achieve some sort of scaleability. Data availability can be solved using a clever sampling technique called data avalability sampling, which allows you to essentially increase the block size in proportion to the number of nodes in the network. A last benefit is a flexibility over execution of armes. So because there's no execution of marmen enshrined at the layer one, as you would have in a monolythic block chain, you can actually deploy any kind of execution of mermen you want till you have complete freedom there.
