Overview

One of the main problems with the Ethereum blockchain is scalability. As more and more decentralized apps (Dapps) are built on the blockchain and the number of transactions is increased, the ability of blockchains to manage a higher number of transactions in a second and a lower transaction fee have been put at the center stage.

Several attempts have been done to solve the Ethereum scalability problem. Amongst the most successful and well-known ones Avalanche, Solana, and Polygon can be named.

This section provides an overview of the situation of Avalanche in the field and among the competitors of Ethereum alternatives.

The focus of the section is on comparing the performance metrics of L1 blockchains.
