  One of the main challenges faced by public blockchain networks in terms of scalability is the limited number of transactions they can handle per second. This is due to the decentralized nature of these networks, where every transaction needs to be verified by multiple nodes. As the number of users and transactions increases, the network can become congested, resulting in slower transaction speeds. To address this challenge, various scaling solutions have been proposed, such as layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network and sharding. These solutions aim to increase the network's capacity to handle more transactions and improve transaction speed.

  Scalability is a major concern for public blockchain networks. With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, the number of transactions being processed on these networks has skyrocketed. However, the current infrastructure of most public blockchains is not designed to handle such high transaction volumes. This leads to congestion and delays in transaction confirmation. To overcome this challenge, developers are exploring different approaches, such as implementing off-chain transactions and utilizing sidechains. These solutions aim to improve scalability and enhance transaction speed without compromising the security and decentralization of the blockchain network.
