Leading blockchain developers are working hard to solve the scalability and throughput issues commonly found on all crypto networks. As an example, Ethereum network fees are as high as $50 at around 15 transactions per second, making it one of the most expensive blockchains to initiate transactions and make payments.

This is the reason why Elrond blockchain developers are creating an environment capable of processing up to 15,000 transactions per second, which is 10,000 times faster than what Ethereum network can offer today. Developing the blockchain with an innovative approach in mind and new architecture in place allows the project…

Anyone who has tried to create a decentralized application (dApp) on the Ethereum blockchain will agree that although blockchains are conceptually close to databases, queries to the former seem completely out of this world. Firstly, there are notable performance issues with blockchain data storage which is largely due to their distributed (decentralized) nature and the variants of consensus protocols. On a similar comparison, databases would also be slow if they consisted of a network of nodes where each node stored a complete copy of the entire database and each transaction had to be verified by each node. …
