Exploring blockchain scalability: Layer 2 solutions like rollups and sidechains vs. Layer 1 upgrades. Rollups enhance throughput without sacrificing security, while sidechains offer flexibility but require cross-chain interoperability. Layer 1 changes, such as sharding, tackle core blockchain limitations. Each approach has pros, cons, impacting speed, cost, and decentralization. Which path will lead crypto to mass adoption?

Great overview! Rollups indeed provide a compelling balance between efficiency and security, while sidechains can open up new use cases. Layer 1 upgrades like sharding are essential for long-term scalability and decentralization. The path to mass adoption likely involves a combination of all these solutions.
