Cryptocurrency infrastructure is a new form of software. Thousands of developers are submitting transactions to Bitcoin and Ethereum, and this transaction volume tests the scalability of current blockchain implementations. The bottlenecks in scalability lead to slow transaction times and high fees.

Over the last twenty years, engineers have learned how to scale databases. We’ve learned how to scale Internet applications like e-commerce stores and online games. It’s easy to forget, but there was a time when those systems didn’t perform well either.

Scaling a blockchain is different than scaling a relational database or a microservices infrastructure. Blockchains are peer-to-peer databases with an append only ledger shared by thousands of nodes. With different scalability solutions, there are tradeoffs between decentralization, scalability, and security. As an example, in Bitcoin, the core developers are working towards the deployment and adoption of the lightning networks. Some would argue that this approach favors scalability over decentralization.

Today’s show is about scaling Ethereum. Raul Jordan and Preston Van Loon are developers who are part of Prysmatic Labs, a team building a sharding implementation for the Go Ethereum client. In this episode, we discuss Ethereum’s approaches to scaling, including sharding and Plasma.
