Back on February 28th, Messari updated their data on blockchain stats, and #Avalanche was indeed a highlight on the time-to-finality (TTF) aspect.
A few comments on this chart 🧵:
Let's take a look again at the blockchain trilemma: some professionals in the area came to the conclusion that you can't have the three properties drawn below:
Until #Avalanche went live, there was no chain that could scale, be safe and decentralized at the same time.
If a chain is secure and scalable, probably their nodes are distributed among a determined group of people with plenty of power over the chain.
If the nodes are freely distributed through actual decentralization, security can be tainted by a low Nakamoto coefficient.
Finally, if a chain is decentralized and secure, such as the #Bitcoin network, it's highly probable that it won't scale properly.
All of these problems were persistent in crypto until the idea of subnets was proposed.
#Ethereum Layer 1 once again keeps demonstrating the need of using more layers to scale.
Either ZK or optimistic rollups, these solutions have proven to be breaking the decentralization principle that characterizes the whole cryptocurrency space.
Even though most of the community expected that this problem was going to be addressed with The Merge, Ethereum still faces scaling problems to this day.
Avalanche leads the chart with instant finality, demonstrating that the infographic below is wrong:
#Avalanche solves the blockchain trilemma, as it is decentralized, secure, and can scale through the Avalanche consensus.
