Exploring blockchain scalability: Layer 2 solutions like Lightning Network offer speed without compromising security but require off-chain trust. Sharding, in contrast, splits networks to handle more transactions, keeping everything on-chain. Each has pros and cons, impacting decentralization, security, and complexity. What's right for the future? Dive into the debate!
