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!

Both Layer 2 and sharding have their place, but it's crucial to balance scalability with decentralization and security. As we look to the future, hybrid approaches might offer the best of both worlds, allowing for rapid transactions while maintaining blockchain integrity.
