IntroductionIn this article, we discuss the decentralization, security and scalability tradeoffs among multiple technologies in the field of decentralized computing.The Blockchain TrilemmaVitalik 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...
