An introduction to the different scaling options currently being developed by the Ethereum community.
Scaling Copy .md Copy .md Edit page (opens in a new tab) On this page Scaling overview As the number of people using Ethereum has grown, the blockchain has reached certain capacity limitations. This has driven up the cost of using the network, creating the need for "scaling solutions." There are multiple solutions being researched, tested and implemented that take different approaches to achieve similar goals. The main goal of scalability is to increase transaction speed (faster finality) and transaction throughput (higher number of transactions per second) without sacrificing decentralization
