Simply explained: Blockchain scalability solutions past, present, and future

I recently gave a talk at Cogx about how blockchains scale. Where, we also discoursed how Polkadot fits into a future ecosystem where many blockchains are operating at scale.

In the same vein, this post relays:

• A brief history of blockchain scaling solutions
• Polkadot & Substrate’s role in this ecosystem
• Polkadot & Substrate’s layer 1 and 2 scaling solutions

Note: Many better articles have previously addressed blockchains scaling issues. If this topic is foreign, I suggest reading the Crypto Canon’s scaling primers here.

Note: My views in this post do not represent that of the company which employs me. Feedback and suggests for improvement are welcome....
