Introduction In this article, we discuss the decentralization, security and scalability tradeoffs among multiple technologies in the field of decentralized computing. The Blockchain Trilemma Vitalik Buterin introduced the blockchain scalability trilemma . Generally speaking, the trilemma says that simple blockchain architectures can only get two of the following three properties: decentralization, security and scalability. Scalability: High transactions per second (TPS) Decentralization: Anyone can participate in consensus, no small set of trusted parties Security: The chain can resist a large
