Challenge title

Cardano scaling solutions

Challenge question

What research and scaling implementations can be introduced to help Cardano increase scalability?

Why is it important?

Hydra will not solve every scaling problem in Cardano, more scaling solutions are needed as alternatives

What does success look like?

Scaling solutions that are introduced and implemented by the community that Cardano projects can start using

Key metrics to measure

• Number of scaling solutions available to the community to use within their projects
• Number of projects launched on any of the new scaling solutions
• Novel ideas generated from research on different scaling approaches
