# Explanation and Summary

**Blockchain Scalability Techniques: Okatex Layer 1**\
Scalability is undoubtedly the most significant challenge faced by blockchain protocols. Unfortunately, decentralized protocols like Bitcoin and Ethereum have low scalability because their performance, speed, and throughput are not at the levels required to support a growing ecosystem. \
\
"Layer-1” refers to the main blockchain underlying the protocol. Layer-1 scalability techniques mean changes or innovations added to the core blockchain itself to improve performance. Due to the nature of this technique, it is difficult to integrate it into existing protocols. Therefore, Okatex is here to solve this problem with the following Layer-1 scalability techniques:

* Increase Block Size
* Reduce block time
* Consensus algorithm

**Transaction Speed : Okatex Layer 1 (**coming soon)\
Transactions per second or Transaction Per Second (TPS) is a measure of the maximum number of transactions that can be processed by a network in seconds. This relates to the transaction speed of each network. The larger the TPS, the faster each transaction can be completed. Transactions per second can be used as a measure to evaluate a blockchain's capability in processing transactions. A large TPS is a must for blockchains that want to have an application ecosystem that is used by many people. However, there are many factors that determine the transactions per second of a blockchain such as block time, transaction size, and block size. \
\
**Secure : Okatex Layer 1**\
When building enterprise blockchain applications, it is important to consider security at all layers of the technology stack, and how to manage network governance and permissions. A comprehensive security strategy for enterprise blockchain solutions includes the use of both traditional security controls and unique technological controls. Some security controls specific to Okatex's blockchain solutions include:

* Identity and access management
* Key management
* Data privacy
* Secure communication
* Smart contract security
* Transaction support
