Re: Can the “blockchain trilemma” be solved totally ?

There’s a couple of times i would read a project whitepaper and i would presume it’s just a stretch. I mean some recent projects are just rebranding what’s been done in the past years.

I came across this project Shardeum that claims to be an EVM-based L1 blockchain that uses dynamic state sharding to address scalability trilemma. To achieve low gas fees, high speed and a more decentralized system. Basically, it operates the sharding process.

Algorand also claimed to have solved the “blockchain trilemma” with PPoS(Pure Proof-of-Stake) but has this challenge been solved ?
Actually sometimes it genuinely feels like the same tech wrapped in fresh buzzwords merely to stir up investors.  Shardeum looks interesting on paper with the dynamic state sharding idea, but we’ve seen similar claims before. Algorand did come out strong with their PPoS approach, but even they haven’t totally evaded the trade offs. I don’t think the blockchain trilemma is totally addressed by anyone yet. It’s more like teams are just finding better tradeoffs between decentralization, scalability and security rather than genuinely solving it.
