The emergence of modular blockchain is mainly to solve several core problems faced by traditional blockchain systems, especially challenges in scalability, efficiency and flexibility.
Traditional blockchains, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, are like one person doing all the work. When a lot of people use the system, it becomes slow and sometimes even freezes. Modular blockchain is designed to solve this problem. It separates different jobs, such as one part dedicated to processing transactions and another part keeping the system secure, so that the entire system can run faster and better.
✏️Mainly solve the following problems:
1. Scalability issue: In traditional blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, all transactions and calculations are performed on the same chain. This leads to network congestion and transaction delays, especially during times of high transaction volume. Modular blockchain solves this problem by dispersing different functions into different modules, thus increasing the processing power of the overall system. 2. Efficiency issues: In an ordinary blockchain, each node has to do a lot of work, such as confirming transactions, maintaining consensus, storing data, etc. Doing so makes the system slow and inefficient. But in a modular blockchain, different nodes focus on different jobs so that the entire system can run faster and more efficiently.
3. Flexibility and upgrade issues: As technology advances, we need blockchains that can be easily upgraded and maintained. By splitting different functions into different modules, modular blockchain allows us to upgrade or improve parts of the system independently without changing the entire system.
4. Interoperability issues: As more and more blockchain systems emerge, cooperation between them becomes important. Modular blockchains can more easily connect to other blockchains or external systems because they all have specific interfaces and protocols to communicate.
5. Security considerations: In terms of security, traditional blockchains face challenges, especially scalability solutions (such as sharding technology). Modular blockchain handles different security tasks through specialized modules, making the overall system more secure.
