🧩 What is a Modular Blockchain and how does it differ from a Monolithic one?
In 2025, many L2 and new blockchain projects are talking about 'modular architecture'. But what does this mean?
🧱 Monolithic Blockchain (for example, Ethereum, Solana):
One environment performs: consensus, transaction execution, and data storage.
It grows — and 'bloats'.
⚙️ Modular Blockchain (for example, Celestia, Avail, EigenDA):
Each layer performs its function (separately: consensus, execution, data).
Easier to scale, connect L2 and DeFi apps.
🌐 This is the future of Web3 infrastructure: more flexible, cheaper, more efficient.
