Rise of Modular Blockchain: Analysis of 9 Major Projects and Future Opportunities
Modular Blockchain: Analysis of 9 Major Projects and Future Outlook
Modular blockchain is becoming a hot topic in the blockchain field. Unlike traditional monolithic chains, modular chains separate various functional modules of the blockchain, such as consensus layer, data availability layer, settlement layer, and transaction execution layer, which are handled by different chains. This design can improve overall efficiency but also faces challenges such as security and compatibility.
Compared to monolithic chains like Ethereum, modular blockchains have several advantages:
The main modular blockchain projects currently on the market include:
Celestia: A general-purpose modular solution that provides data availability services.
Polygon Avail: A general-purpose modular blockchain solution that provides data availability services.
EigenDA: Ethereum's data availability solution, based on EigenLayer.
Fuel: modular blockchain execution layer, initially providing scalability services for Ethereum.
Assembly: The modular smart contract layer in the IOTA ecosystem.
zkPorter: off-chain data availability solution proposed by zkSync.
StarkEx DAC: StarkEx's off-chain data availability solution.
Arbitrum Anytrust: Arbitrum's off-chain data availability solution.
Adamantium: Off-chain data availability solution, users can host their own data.
Modular blockchain is still in the early stages of development, with most projects in the testing phase. With the mainnet of projects like Celestia about to launch, this field is expected to see significant breakthroughs. In the future, more modular solutions targeting different scenarios may emerge.
However, the modular blockchain still faces many challenges, such as the security issues of inter-module connections and compatibility with existing ecosystems. These issues need to be continuously explored and resolved in practice. Overall, modular blockchain represents a new direction in technological development that deserves ongoing attention.
