Currently, there are a myriad of Layer2 solutions, but we often forget the fundamental need for scalability. Recent market performance has made me realize that some seemingly "outdated" technologies actually demonstrate astonishing vitality in real-world scenarios. Sidechain architecture is such an example — it doesn't rely on flashy narratives but speaks with solid performance data.
Ultimately, the core contradiction in scalability is: how to maintain decentralization while handling millions of transactions per second? The answer from sidechain solutions is straightforward — move most computations off-chain, with the mainnet only responsible for state anchoring. It sounds simple, but the brilliance of this design lies in freeing the underlying public chain's bandwidth pressure while fully preserving security.
What does this mean for developers? It means deploying applications can achieve response speeds close to traditional centralized services without worrying about decentralization failure. This is especially tailored for scenarios highly sensitive to latency, such as high-frequency trading, on-chain gaming, and social protocols.
Someone asked where the true value of this technology lies. My view is: it really can run. Not just on PPT slides, but supporting millions of daily active users. The market has long moved beyond the "concepts are king" stage; everyone is looking for infrastructure that can truly land and solve practical problems. The sidechain ecosystem happens to be at this point, continuously optimizing technology to lower the entry barriers for users into Web3.
In plain terms, this is the "great simplicity in apparent complexity" philosophy in scalability solutions.

Forget it, we still need to look at the actual data; just talking big won't do.

Stop just talking about PPT, sub-chains can actually run.

Here we go again with a bunch of L2 narratives. The only ones that are truly usable are a few; the rest are just hype.
Talking in circles about the same old story—off-chain computation? That's been validated long ago, and now it's being touted as a treasure.
Can it really handle millions of daily active users? Then why haven't we seen any decent applications yet?
No matter how impressive the hype, the TPS data speaks louder.
Sub-chain solutions can still be a lifeline; it all depends on who can truly survive.
Lowering costs is a good thing, but don't compromise on security.
It's always "great ingenuity appears simple," it seems every project is preaching this philosophy.
Honestly, these L2 solutions should have been淘汰ed long ago; there's too much fishy behavior.

Hmm... It's the PPT expansion plan again. It has to die.
Wait, did it really run this time? Show me the data.
Performance data doesn't lie; everything else is nonsense.

It's another chain of hype, but to be fair, it's definitely more reliable than those that just tell stories.

Rough language, but the truth is that real data is the hard currency.
