What CryptoKitties Reveals About Ethereum Scalability Issues

It seems that no waste of any kind was found in 2017, the world is now suffering from virtual cats. This cryptocurrency is a virtual game that allows players to collect and breed digital cats. At the young age of the game (it was started on 28th of November) has already taken interest from players from around the world. This multiple users have been drawn to the game because it is completely personal.

These "cats" are a personal breed or collection collectively by themselves and cannot be cloned by other users. When users reproduce their cats, they can add specific colors, facial features or background to separate their cats from other users on the market. Once this cat has grown, its producers can sell it on the market. By December 11, 2017, these virtual cats had generated an estimated $ 12 million in sales.

Although this business of virtual cats may sound like a stupid, fleeting trend, the aspect of transaction can have a long-term impact. What this really sets apart other addictive online games, is its foundation, its foundation is developed by AxiomZen, this market was built on the blockchain account holder of ethereum, and user ethereum owned Tokens, ether using protocols But buy and sell cats.

This has become the most popular smart contract on Cryptocurrencies ethereum, and by December 10, 2017, the market was responsible for total network transactions of about 15% of ethereum.

In many cases, the mass pervasement surrounding these kittens is won as a whole for the Blockchains industry. These games have brought blockchain technology - especially ethereum - to the mainstream media. One of the biggest issues hindering the progress and spread of blockchain is its unavailability, but it works as a simple entry point for all background users familiar with Cryptocurrency Blockchain.

It is a driving force behind the decision of AxiomZen to develop this type of game that the consumers had easy access to Blockchain technology. This is considered to be a more user-friendly block channel; it has to be developed faster and more widely. It is still aware of how those people who are not interested in bitcoin, cryptocurrency or decentralized laser, can do the powers of these protocols. Despite its global popularity, the success of the night of cryptocurrencies has also exposed the weaknesses within ethereum.

This CryptoKitties has overwhelmed Ethereum network with single-handed, meaning slow time for all applications running on decentralized architecture. This CryptoKitties are experiencing speed scalability issues, which means that the problems arising from the ethereum network are related to an inefficient consensus algorithm. It is very difficult to move around information (or, in this case, virtual kitties) It takes a lot of work, and in this way the kitty gets out of control and time required for the transfer.

This ethereal network is designed to store all the data within the block channel, which means that the quick increase of an app has added an exponential figure to the load of the chain's storage. As it is more developers, start building an electronic application and more data is stored on the protocol, increasing on-chain storage demands will continue to stop the network and reduce the time of transaction. This strange growth is becoming a double-edged sword
