For years, the narrative has been the same: “Web3 can’t scale because of technology limits.”
But the truth is different. The bottleneck isn’t TPS. The bottleneck is how blockchains were designed from day one.
We’re not facing a performance problem.
We’re facing an architecture problem.
Monolithic: The Tight Jacket of Blockchain
Most blockchains today follow a monolithic design — execution, consensus, data storage, and settlement all crammed into one layer.
The result? Congestion. Slowness. No room to scale.
- Ethereum: ~15 TPS
- Bitcoin: ~7 TPS
- Visa: ~65,000 TPS
No patch or optimization can beat the physical limits of a monolithic model.
At best, we get band-aid fixes. At worst, we keep building on a broken foundation.
Modular: Rebuilding from the Ground Up
At Altius, we’re taking a different path.
We’re building a modular execution layer — an architecture where each part of the blockchain is separated and optimized independently:
- Execution, consensus, data, and settlement as distinct modules
- True scalability without compromising security
- Flexible upgrades without breaking the whole network
This isn’t firefighting.
This is infrastructure built to evolve.
What Does Modular Mean for You?
A future where blockchains are no longer chained down by old limits:
- No more fragmented L2s and risky bridges
- dApps that run smoother, faster, and cheaper
- Real composability, where apps naturally connect and collaborate
Altius is the execution layer that makes this future possible.
Modular: From Theory to Practice
Modular isn’t a faraway dream. It’s happening right now:
- Ethereum is going modular with rollups and danksharding
- Celestia was born to serve modular architecture
- Rollups already outperform monolithic chains by orders of magnitude
In this landscape, Altius is the missing piece — a parallel, high-throughput execution layer, ready to integrate with any modular stack.
Modular Is the Future of Web3
Monolithic chains brought us here.
But they won’t take Web3 to billions of users.
Modular will.
It’s faster. Cheaper. Safer. Sustainable.
And Altius is building it — right now.
