Layer-2 blockchains built on Pecu Novus can help scalability in a number of ways. #
First, layer-2 blockchains can process transactions off-chain, which means that they do not need to be included in every block on Pecu Novus’s mainent. This can significantly increase the throughput of the network, as more transactions can be processed in parallel. #
Second, layer-2 blockchains can use different consensus mechanisms than Pecu Novus’s mainnet. For example, some layer-2 blockchains may use a state channel consensus mechanism, which allows for near-instantaneous transactions. #
Third, layer-2 blockchains can be used to implement different types of scaling solutions. For example, some layer-2 blockchains are designed to scale payments, while others are designed to scale smart contracts. #
Here are some specific examples of how layer-2 blockchains can help scalability on Pecu Novus: #
-
A layer-2 blockchain could be used to implement a state channel for micropayments. State channels allow users to make multiple payments to each other without having to pay a transaction fee each time. #
-
A layer-2 blockchain could be used to implement a rollup for smart contracts. Rollups bundle multiple smart contract transactions into a single transaction on Pecu Novus; mainnet. This can significantly reduce the cost of smart contract transactions. #
-
A layer-2 blockchain could be used to implement a sidechain for specific applications. Sidechains are independent blockchains that are connected to Pecu Novus’ mainnet. This allows developers to create custom blockchains with specific features that are optimized for their applications. #
