Scaling Solution
A scaling solution is aimed at enhancing the efficiency and computational capacity of a Layer-1 blockchain network. Usually composed of Layer-2 protocols like sidechains and off-chain layers, these solutions are designed to increase the network’s transaction throughput and overall speed. Various types of scaling solutions exist, including roll-ups, state channels, sharding, network interoperability tools, and more. Notable examples of Layer-2 scaling solutions include OMG Foundation, Polygon, Skale Network, and Lightning Network.
