Scalability issues of blockchain can be traced back to the basics of its design - blocks come 1 by 1 and there is a defined block size and block time.
If you know those last 2 values in a blockchain, you can easily calculate the expected TPS. 2/7
So nothing easier than increasing the block size and/or decreasing the block time, right?
Well, no. It is proven that this approach introduces security risks and decreases decentralization, often also impacts reliability (*cough* Solana *cough*). 3/7
