Balancing Scalability and Censorship Resistance (Disproving the “Scalability Trilemma”) How to Achieve High Throughput Without Sacrificing Security or Decentralisation Introduction The so-called “Scalability Trilemma” asserts that a blockchain must compromise on either security, decentralisation, or scalability, it seemingly cannot excel in all three. This idea, widely attributed to certain high-profile developers, has shaped much of the industry’s design choices, often leading to high fees, heavy Layer-1 “smart contracts,” or reliance on centralised second layers. However, the Trilemma itself is based on flawed assumptions. By distinguishing data availability from computation, optimizing for truly low-fee base layers, and ensuring fair token distribution, we can build system
