Blockchain scalability has long been limited by the so‑called trilemma, which challenges networks to balance decentralization, security, and scalability simultaneously. Early blockchains emphasized decentralization and security, but that focus constrained their transaction capacity and drove up fees whenever demand surged. Recent advances, however, indicate that greater scalability no longer has to undermine security. Emerging architectural, cryptographic, and economic approaches are redefining how blockchains expand while maintaining their core trust assurances.Layer 2 Solutions Becoming Core InfrastructureOne of the most impactful developments involves the continued evolution of Layer 2 scaling solutions. Rather than adding extra pressure to the primary blockchain, these Layer…
