Scalability Trilemma

Scalability Trilemma is a concept in blockchain technology that highlights the difficulty of optimizing three critical aspects simultaneously: decentralization, security, and scalability. Decentralization ensures no single entity controls the network. Security protects against attacks and fraud. Scalability enables the network to handle a growing number of transactions efficiently. Achieving all three at a high level is challenging. Improving two aspects often requires compromising the third. This dilemma drives ongoing innovation to build more efficient blockchain systems without sacrificing these core principles.
