Modular vs Monolithic is dead.
The next era of blockchains will be defined by Horizontal vs Vertical scaling.

There's no doubt that the Modular vs Monolithic framework has been abused by CT.
But once upon a time it felt useful to understand blockchain scalability…
So what changed?

In short, nothing.
Modularity is a technique of horizontal scaling.
Modular chains tap into the power of multiple full nodes (i.e. machines) to build every block.
This helped the industry reason about scalability at a time when all blockchains were monolothic.

Today, we have modular chains (a lot of them).
But making a chain more modular ≠ more scalable
So how do we scale further?
The answer is vertical or horizontal scaling.

The answer is vertical or horizontal scaling.
Or both.
