As blockchain developers compete for traffic and resources for their respective dapps (decentralized applications), the downside to this, according to some in the industry, can be a poor user experience which in turn undermines the mass adoption cause. Therefore, unless current blockchains — both Layers 1 and 2 — can overcome niggling issues like high gas fees or poor network speed, it will be difficult to convince traditional organizations that they need the tech, according to Ankr’s Josh Neuroth. Overcoming Blockchain Scalability Challenges In cases where an attempt to improve a block chain ’s transaction throughput is made, history has shown that compromises that might affect the chain ’s security may have to be made. Alternatively, developers can consider overcoming this problem, known as the block chain trilemma, using side chain s or application-specific block chain s (App chain s).
