Let’s talk about public blockchains and the impossible trilemma:
Different public blockchains use different consensus mechanisms and make different design trade-offs, so block times, confirmation speeds, and fees vary widely.
The more distributed the validator nodes are, the more messages they need to exchange to reach consensus, making it harder to improve performance. This is exactly why the three factors constrain one another.
