Modular Blockchains
Modular blockchains are designed to improve the network's performance, scalability, and customizability by separating the execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability layers contained within the blockchain into distinct "modules." This approach allows for the creation of new blockchains by selecting and assembling different modules, enhancing the network's flexibility and efficiency.
This article analyzes Ethereum's adoption of a modular strategy and its impact. In the short term, this decision has led to ETH's price underperformance, mainly due to reduced fees and decreased token burning. However, the long-term benefits include maintaining Ethereum's high market share and creating significant value for its ecosystem. The article draws a parallel between Ethereum's approach and AWS, highlighting the different value assessment methods for decentralized protocols versus traditional companies. While the modular strategy may temporarily affect ETH prices, it offers Ethereum the flexibility needed for technological innovation and long-term competitiveness. Ultimately, this approach could be crucial for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the rapidly evolving blockchain space.
