If you think the reason Web3 can't scale is due to technological limits, think again. The real issue lies in how we design blockchain systems from the start.

We don't have a performance problem. We have a design problem.

Monolithic cannot scale.

Most blockchains today are built on a monolithic architecture — meaning all components such as execution, consensus, data storage, and payment are lumped into the same layer.

This leads to serious bottlenecks. Let's look at the data:

  • Ethereum processes about 15 TPS.

  • Bitcoin only around 7 TPS.

  • Meanwhile, Visa reaches ~65,000 TPS.

No amount of tweaking can overcome the inherent physical and design limitations of monolithic architecture. That's why improvements on current chains are often just temporary and cannot truly scale.

Modular changes the game.

Altius is building a modular execution layer, a completely new architecture that allows each layer in the blockchain to be specialized for its task.

  • Execution, consensus, data, and payment are separated, optimized independently.

  • A truly scalable system without compromising security.

  • Upgrades happen smoothly, without breaking the entire network.

This is infrastructure designed to evolve, not to 'patch up'.

Why is modular important to you?

Because modular opens up a future where:

  • We no longer have to bet between a host of incompatible L2s and easily hacked bridges.

  • dApps run faster, fees are cheaper.

  • Composability is truly unlocked, applications can interact naturally and flexibly with each other.

And Altius is the foundational execution layer that makes this a reality.

Modular is no longer a theory - it is happening.

Ethereum is gradually shifting to a modular architecture with rollup and danksharding.

Celestia was created to serve modular chains.

Rollup has achieved performance 10 times that of traditional single-block chains.

And within that entire structure, Altius is the missing piece, providing a parallel execution layer, high throughput, ready to integrate into any modular stack.

Modular is the future of Web3.

Monolithic architecture has brought us to the present, but it cannot take Web3 to the next billion users.

Modular is the way to build a Web3 world that is faster, cheaper, safer, and sustainably developed.

If you are looking for a place to build that future, Altius is building it today.
