An analysis into the scalability of Bitcoin and Ethereum

With cryptocurrencies and blockchain based networks being increasingly used for more and more applications, a fundamental issue is now being notice; scalability.

Using historic data, we model how their growth could be over the next three years and propose a model, a temporal blockchain, to reduce the network size and increase scalability.
