Despite its many advantages, blockchain technology faces several challenges that must be addressed for broader adoption.
One of the most significant challenges is scalability. As the number of transactions increases, the size of the blockchain grows, requiring more storage and processing power. Solutions like the Lightning Network for Bitcoin aim to address these issues but are still in development.
Consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work require significant computational power, resulting in high energy consumption. More energy-efficient alternatives like Proof of Stake and hybrid models are being explored to mitigate this issue.
