Modular Blockchain Design

Architecture

Modular blockchain design functions by decoupling the core network components into specialized layers, specifically separating execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability. This structural shift moves away from the monolithic paradigm where a single node processes all tasks, effectively mitigating the constraints imposed by rigid, single-layer resource allocation. By distributing functional requirements across independent modules, networks achieve a higher degree of flexibility in managing throughput and latency.
