Diversity of Virtual Machines Drives Scalability
The performance of blockchain applications is influenced by the limitations of 32-byte registers, which cap the number of transactions per second. By deploying multiple instances of a virtual machine (VM) like the EVM, and utilizing synchronous composability, users can effectively scale performance, emulating a single, more powerful VM. Additionally, the flexibility of rollups allows for selecting the most effective VM, such as SVM, for different applications. This adaptability has led some teams to migrate from Solana to Ethereum to leverage rollup technology, emphasizing the competitive advantage of being a dominant execution chain in the evolving blockchain landscape.
