Introducing the Elastic Chain

Sun, Jul 14, 2024, 03:13 PM · 25:07

While blockchains and Ethereum-aligned rollups have achieved impressive cumulative throughput capacity, this progress came with a massive deterioration in user experience, capital efficiency, and network integrity. In this presentation Alex will share how a perfectly elastic architecture will, similar to the internet, allow a blockchain to expand capacity limitlessly by adding new instances to match capacity for usage. As more users join and transactions increase, the system can continue scaling without compromising performance, verifiability, or decentralization.
