Title: Resolution of a limited cross -section of reduction: Importance of level 1 solutions in accepting cryptocurrencies
Introduction
Cryptocurrencies have revolutionized the way in which digital transactions and financial systems are thinking. However, scalability is one of the most important challenges of innovative technologies. The limited ability to process a large amount of transaction has prevented the wide acceptance of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum and others. In this article, we deepen the world of 1 layer solutions, explore their role in the problem of scalability, and highlight the consequences of the cryptocurrency sector.
What is scalability?
Scalability suggests that a system can handle the increasing amount of transactions without jeopardizing performance or introducing significant delays. In other words, the question is to be able to process more data at a time. If cryptocurrencies do not have an adequate scalability solution, this can cause congestion in blockchairs, slowing down transactions and disappointment between users.
Bitcoin problem
Bitcoinine, the first and largest cryptocurrencies, is designed with limited ability to manage high amounts of transactions. Block size limit (1 MB) from the beginning is a dispute point. As a higher number of users is combined with the network, the problem of block size is becoming increasingly urgent. In 2019, the notorious “51%attack” against the Bitcoin network prompted miners to go to an alternative cryptocurrency such as Ethereum.
Level 1 Solutions: The Solution
Several level 1 solution (blockchain) has been recommended for scalability, developers and researchers:
- Shading : Distribution of the blockchain into smaller and independent pieces, called fragments, each processing transactions at a much faster speed than the original chain.

Level 1 solutions in action
Many cryptocurrencies have successfully implemented level 1 solutions:
- Bitcoin (Shading): The imminent Bitcoin Sharded Network, also known as FCAS Casper (final contribution algorithm), will be a test based on a test that allows more efficient and secure transactions.
- Ethereum (DPO): The Ethereum Polkadot Protocol allows interoperability to interoperability of the networks of different blockchain, promotes scalability and interoperability.
- Solana (Merkle Tree): The Solana Proof of History (POH) protocol uses a Merkle tree to control transaction data, making it faster and efficient in terms of energy.
Advantages of Level 1 Solutions Benefits
There are many benefits to accepting level 1 solutions:
- Increase in transaction capacity: More users can participate in the network without sacrificing performance.
- Improved decentralization: decentralized networks reduce dependence on central authorities and increase users’ autonomy.
- Reducing energy consumption: High energy intensity testing mechanisms (POW) are replaced by more effective consent algorithms.
Conclusion
The problem of scalability is a major challenge for cryptocurrencies. Level 1 solutions, such as Shading, Delegate stakes and Merkle trees, have shown a promise towards the bottleneck. By developing and implementing these solutions, the cryptocurrency industry can improve transaction capacity, decentralize networks and reduce energy consumption. As the adoption of new blockchain technologies increases, it is essential to provide priority for scalability solutions that guarantee a regular user experience.
