Blockchain Scalability Book

Welcome to the Blockchain Scalability Book project! This book is a community-driven effort to explore, elucidate, and solve the scalability issues that blockchain technologies, especially Ethereum, face today. By leveraging the collective wisdom and expertise of the blockchain community, this book aims to provide comprehensive insights into scalability solutions like Layer 2 rollups, modular chains, and parallel execution.

👉 Start with our Preface to learn more about the book’s purpose and structure.
