Too Long; Didn't Read
Scalability is considered by many the biggest challenge of the current generation of blockchain solutions. The scalability challenge is not only a limitation to the mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies but its also the main factor exploited in blockchain security attacks. Intuitively, we think about scalable computation models in the blockchain as either “layer 2” protocols or brand new blockchains. A few months ago, I came across <a href="https://bloxroute.com/" target="_blank">bloXRoute</a>, an interesting startup that proposes a completely different approach: scaling blockchains without changing their core protocols. If protocols like Plasma or Sharding are considered layer-2 solutions, I believe <a href="https://bloxroute.com/" target="_blank">bloXroute </a>should be classified as a layer-0 scalability solution.
