The blockchain trilemma is one of the most fundamental yet misunderstood challenges in building blockchain networks.

In this short educational segment, we break down what the trilemma is, why it's so difficult to overcome, and how different networks try to balance its three core components.

We cover:

🔹 What the blockchain trilemma means
🔹 Why you can only optimise two out of three
🔹 The trade-offs between decentralisation, security, and speed
🔹 Examples from Bitcoin and centralised ecosystems
🔹 Why solving the trilemma matters for the future of crypto
