Blockchain Scalability Book 1.1.0

Version 1.1 grounds the book's mechanisms in systems readers can inspect and use. Ten core chapters now include named case studies with architecture, end-to-end transaction or batch traces, trust and upgrade assumptions, observable evidence, and failure paths.

Named protocol coverage

  • Arbitrum Nitro and BoLD, ZKsync Era, OP Mainnet, Base, Starknet, and Scroll
  • ERC-4337, MEV-Boost and Flashbots, Espresso, Across, CoW Protocol, and Succinct Prover Network
  • DiemBFT and AptosBFT, Sui Mysticeti, Tendermint and CometBFT
  • Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail on one fixed data-availability workload
  • Solana, Sui, and Aptos parallel-execution traces
  • NEAR cross-shard receipts and the IBC packet lifecycle
  • Polygon PoS bridge and checkpoint security
  • Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana on a fixed payment workload
  • CryptoKitties congestion compared with a production rollup workload
  • An OP Stack deployment using Celestia data availability

Academic-review corrections

A publication-grade review corrected the HotStuff finality model, updated Sui to the integrated Mysticeti design, dated PeerDAS after Fusaka activation, separated rollup proof acceptance from Layer-1 finality, made cross-shard messaging explicitly asynchronous, completed the committee-capture probability calculation, labeled OP Alt-DA beta, expanded EigenDA threshold and recovery assumptions, corrected Polygon's current architecture, and tightened MEV-Boost and Across failure paths.

The review also expanded first-use acronyms, exercises and glossary entries, added accessibility metadata to all original SVG figures, and improved isolated PDF builds.
