A new academic paper has been published exploring the possibility of parallel transaction execution in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The authors emphasize that the traditional sequential model is becoming a bottleneck for scalability, as the growing user base and DeFi applications demand higher throughput.
📈 The proposed models suggest grouping independent transactions and processing them in parallel without conflict risks. This approach could potentially multiply network performance while preserving Ethereum’s decentralized nature.
The study also addresses the issue of conflicts when multiple smart contracts access the same data. Researchers introduce algorithmic solutions that ensure consistent results even under parallel execution.
If implemented, these methods could significantly reduce the load on Ethereum’s base layer and enable higher TPS without sharding or radical architectural changes.
