Increasing the block size in a blockchain network allows more transactions to be included in each block, effectively enhancing the system’s throughput. This approach aims to address scalability issues by accommodating a higher volume of transactions, reducing congestion, and lowering transaction fees. However, it’s essential to consider the trade-offs, as larger block sizes can lead to increased storage and processing requirements for network nodes, potentially impacting decentralization and security. The paper “A Systematic Review on Blockchain Scalability” discusses various scalability solutions, including block size adjustments. It highlights that while increasing block size can enhance throughput, this method alone may not fully resolve scalability challenges and should be considered alongside other solutions.
