4️⃣ Today’s Quick Lesson: What Is a Modular Blockchain?
🔸 What is a modular blockchain?
▪ A modular blockchain breaks down tasks that traditional blockchains typically handle together into different layers—for example, execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability.
🔸 Why split them?
▪ Traditional blockchains often rely on the same network to process all tasks at once; as the number of users grows, performance and scalability bottlenecks are more likely to appear.
▪ Modular design improves overall efficiency by assigning different layers to focus on different responsibilities.
🔸 What are common modules?
▪ Execution layer: responsible for running transactions and smart contracts.
▪ Settlement layer: confirms transaction results and handles disputes.
▪ Consensus layer: secures the network and orders transactions.
▪ Data availability layer: ensures transaction data can be accessed and verified by network participants.
