[03] PROTOCOL ARCHITECTURE

Blockchain Architecture

Designing blockchain systems before they are built: what belongs on chain and what does not, which chain fits, how the contracts fit together, and what they will cost to run.

Design · Scalability · Gas · Infrastructure

Most of the expensive mistakes in a blockchain system are made before the first contract is written. Architecture work turns business requirements into a design that holds up: the split between on-chain and off-chain components, the choice of network, the contract system and its upgrade and permission model, and the gas each path will cost.

It is also where the honest answer is sometimes that a traditional architecture is the better fit — an answer I have given clients before.
