The Scale Ability Trilemma
The scale ability trilemma, as proposed by Vitalik, highlights the challenge of balancing decentralization, security, and scalability in blockchain networks. Side chains present a solution by compromising on either security or decentralization to achieve scalability for low-value transactions. Networks like Solana make different trade-offs compared to Ethereum, prioritizing scalability over hardcore security and decentralization. Separating the execution layer from the settlement layer allows for efficient processing of transactions on networks like Ethereum and Solana, while settling transactions securely on Ethereum due to its high level of security and decentralization.
