An Overview of SKALE

Blockchain scaling technology has advanced significantly over the past two years, from the developments of rollups to sharding to sidechains. These solutions have various trade-offs, though the most optimal choice for scaling blockchains has been rollups since they are the only option that fully inherits security from Ethereum.

SKALE is an alternative scaling solution that presents itself as an Ethereum native multichain network of blockchains. Simply put, SKALE is a series of Ethereum sidechains that interact with Ethereum via a common set of smart contracts.
