What is scaling Ethereum?

Scaling Ethereum can be categorised in two broad categories: on-chain scaling — where you increase the capacity of the main blockchain itself; and off-chain scaling — where you change the way you interact with the blockchain by putting the bulk of transaction and computation activity outside the main blockchain.

What is Ethereum's solution to the blockchain trilemma?

Ethereum’s solution to blockchain scaling and the blockchain trilemma is at the core of Ethereum’s 2.0 vision — it doesn’t want to sacrifice decentralization for the sake of speed.

What is Ethereum sharding?

For Ethereum, sharding will spread Ethereum’s load across 64 new chains; and it will ship some time in 2022 following the merge of the Ethereum mainnet with the Eth2 Beacon Chain when Ethereum moves to a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. Off-chain scaling is implemented outside of L1.

Why do we want to partner with Ethereum community points?

Our intention is to help accelerate the progress being made on scaling and develop the technology needed to launch large-scale applications like Community Points on Ethereum. The scaling technology developed through this partnership will be open-sourced and publicly available for anyone to use.
