Scalability of blockchain networks is the ability of that platform to support an increasing load of transactions, as well as increasing the number of nodes in the network.
Blockchain scalability offers various benefits such as data security, autonomy, immutability, transparency, and audibility.
Blockchain scalability is limited by the speed at which a peer-to-peer network of participants is able to come to a consensus on the state of a digital ledger of transactions called a blockchain.
However, the term "scalability" has a far larger variety of implications in the context of Blockchain.
Scalability refers to a network's capacity to sustain larger transaction throughput and is a key criterion in blockchain networks.
As a result, scalability is critical for Blockchain's future growth.
Scalability has been identified as the most significant barrier to establishing public blockchains in many real-world commercial situations.
