We've all heard the promises: Layer 2 (L2) solutions are here to save us from Ethereum's exorbitant gas fees and sluggish transaction speeds. Yet they are the key to unlocking mainstream adoption. They will enable Web3 and solve every single one of our scalability problems. Are they really?Let's be honest....
With a mission to scale, Cardano’s not keeping all its eggs in one basket. Anjali Mehra, a DeFi opinion columnist, notes that instead of relying solely on a single solution, Cardano is developing a multifaceted Layer-2 strategy. Combined with Hydra, Midgard, and other ZK projects, and Gummiworm Hydra’s next-generation features...
Solana is making a bold move. While everyone else is focused only on Layer-2 solutions and rollups, they’re creating Network Extensions. Is it real innovation, or just a high-stakes gamble on the new thing to beat the Ethereum behemoth. It's a question that keeps me up at night, not because...
If you’ve followed along with Solana’s journey from the beginning, you’ve seen us expand the horizon of what’s possible in the blockchain space. Famed for its extreme throughput and innovative take on consensus, Solana is growing again with its new Network Extensions. In this article, we’ll take a look at...
Solana is once again at the pioneering edge of blockchain scaling with its exciting new Network Extensions. These extensions enhance execution environments and provide developers unparalleled, enterprise-level control over their projects. This strategy is what distinguishes Solana from Ethereum’s focus on Layer-2 rollups and preconfirmations. This clearly posts Solana in...
Let’s face it, the blockchain ecosystem is filled with hype. And yet every other day it seems there’s another “revolutionary” solution that’s going to do all the heavy lifting for us. When it comes to scaling, we need to cut through the noise and ask: what actually works? If you’ve...
Blockchain technology, while revolutionary, faces a significant hurdle: scalability. As more users and applications flock to the network, transaction speeds grind to a halt and fees shoot through the roof. This is where sidechains and Layer 2 solutions enter the picture, providing parallel yet distinct approaches to address these obstacles....
The world of Bitcoin scaling is an exciting place right now, filled with brilliant developers and researchers who are expanding the horizons of what’s possible. The newest genius development is GOAT BitVM2. Their innovative solution has the potential to drastically improve transaction speeds and efficiency overall on the Bitcoin network....
Dankrad Feist’s recent warning shot – Ethereum will be “almost completely irrelevant” within a decade without “bold scaling measures” – rings painfully true for many. Is a 100x gas limit increase, as suggested by EIP 7938, the right kind of bold? Or are we throwing the soul of Ethereum under...
Ethereum is at a very critical juncture, as it continues to struggle with the scaling issues that pose systemic risks to its long-term existence. Feist, an unapologetic activist of the Ethereum community, is an advocate for drastic action. His intention is to increase the network’s capacity and ensure it remains...
