▌BlockchainImpossible Triangle: Decentralization, Security and High Performance
Decentralization, security and high performance constitute the "impossible triangle" of the blockchain. In the design, the three characteristics cannot be achieved at the same time, only two of them can be met. Decentralization means having a large number of nodes participating in block production and verification. Generally, the more nodes there are, the higher the degree of decentralization. Security is the cost required to gain control of the network, and usually anchors real-world assets in the design of the consensus mechanism, for example, the proof-of-work mechanism (PoW) anchors computing power. Transaction performance is the number of transactions processed per second (TPS). The main reason for the low performance of the blockchain is that every transaction has to be agreed on all nodes.
