Why is it so difficult for public blockchains to achieve speed, security, and decentralization all at once?
Increasing block capacity and shortening block times can boost throughput, but they also raise the hardware and bandwidth requirements for running a node.
The more widely dispersed the validators are, the more messages they need to exchange to reach consensus, making it harder to improve performance. This is why these three goals constrain one another.
$ETH is the native coin of Ethereum, a Layer 1 public blockchain, and is used to pay gas fees and for staking.
