Blockchains, consensus mechanisms, and characteristics For public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, this cost is in the billions of dollars. Security is often represented by the cost of taking control of 51% of the network’s hashrate or validators. This has been one of the biggest issues for public blockchains. Scalability generally refers to the number of transactions a network can process, how much it costs to broadcast these transactions, or how much time is needed for the validation. It also can be measured more qualitatively, like if a personal computer can participate as a node. Over the development of public blockchains, a growing number of different blockchains were proposed as an attempt to provide a better solution to the blockchain trilemma: That no blockchain, where every node validates each transaction, can simultaneously possess all of these properties:ĭecentralization can refer to several aspects, like how many block producers/validators can exist in a network. We will analyze five chains that Liquality is integrated with:

The current definition of a Layer 1 chain is a blockchain that has all the function parts needed for their full functioning without relying on any other chain or external service.
A future article will cover the Layer 2 solutions in our wallet in the same light. In this article, we will take a look at the Layer 1 chains in our wallet and present their consensus mechanisms, pros and cons, and how they are positioned within the blockchain trilemma. One Wallet All Chains: that is what Liquality is all about. 13 min read Layer 1 Chains and the Blockchain Trilemma.
