largerchain

Largerchain is a term used in discussions of blockchain scalability to describe an architecture in which a primary chain coordinates a collection of parallel sub-chains, enabling higher transaction throughput and geographic scalability.

In a largerchain design, the main chain handles finality and cross-chain consensus, while sub-chains process transactions independently and periodically commit proofs or summaries to the main chain.

Cross-chain communication uses a protocol to publish transaction data, proofs, and state roots; security relies on the main chain's finality and on validator participation across sub-chains.

Implementation varies; there is no universal standard; some proposals parallel sharding, some layer-1 multi-chain frameworks, etc.

Adoption challenges include increased complexity, cross-chain security risk, validator coordination, and data availability.

Applications of largerchain concepts include high-throughput applications, DeFi, token transfers, and enterprise-grade supply chains.
