The corner points of the triangle represent speed, scalability, and security. Since the trilemma causes such problems for the developers of blockchain applications that fully affect projects, there is a need to integrate other structures into the networks and as a result, Layer-2, Sidechain, ZK-rollup, and similar solutions are expected to be developed by different teams. ![](https://docs.metatime.com/whitepaper/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F989455816-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FAIzmobbGXH6E0WrRNrgp%252Fuploads%252FG9WGOVR2DYFiTkBDdxm0%252Ftrilemma.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D8365cef0-36f3-4866-89ec-d2e0c4d8e668\&width=768\&dpr=3\&quality=100\&sign=50303a47cddfc1ee0d056130cb2c3a3e\&sv=3) Blockchain networks that are experiencing trilemma problems may show weakness from time to time. The above mentioned Layer-2 solutions are built on top of the existing network by different developers, thus, end-users may experience a loss of time and loss of effort and also financial losses. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.metaverse-ico.net/whitepaper/overview/current-problems-of-existing-blockchain-networks/trilemma.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
