Modular Blockchain
NODE: MODULAR-BLOC
VERIFICATION: PASSED
01_DEFINITION
Strict Definition
"A blockchain architecture that separates the core functions (Execution, Settlement, Consensus, Data Availability) across different specialized layers, rather than one 'monolithic' chain."
Liability Check // Risk Analysis
The 'Complexity & Fragmentation' risk. Managing assets across a modular stack increases the surface area for failure. If the 'Data Availability' layer fails, the 'Execution' layer becomes untrustworthy.
