1. SIX Protocol Upgrade: The Modular Update
SIX Protocol is preparing for a purposeful upgrade, in order to be a flexible infrastructure which is accessible by businesses, developers, and other infrastructure providers. This upgrade is the implementation of the modular blockchain concept to the SIX Protocol.
The modular blockchain concept is an effective approach that has been widely discussed in the global crypto industry recently since Celestia unveiled the direction about Data Availability. After that, there are many global players like Avail and Dymension, and others, working on the modular concept to build the more effective blockchain infrastructure in the big picture.
According to this concept, the core functions of a single blockchain network, which include execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability, will be separated. A traditional blockchain is like one person doing many jobs all by themselves. But with the modular approach, it’s like having a team where each person is good at and does just one job.
This way, tasks are split up and handled by different chains, enhancing the overall performance and scalability of the blockchain.
