Thanks to a distributed data structure known as the blockchain, cryptocurrencies can execute financial transactions without a trusted central authority. However, every computer participating in a blockchain must exchange, store, and verify each and every transaction, and as such the transaction throughput of blockchains is embarrassingly low. Scaling decentralized blockchains has been in the spotlight of the blockchain research community due to the immediate consequences on the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. In this thesis, we examine different scaling solutions of blockchain protocols mainly from a theoretical perspective.
