Linear complexity will kill your Web3 protocol 💀
Blockchains will never allow you to loop over a million users in a single transaction – it is simply too expensive and won't execute.
If you are building for mass participation, linear execution breaks. The protocols that scale successfully in DeFi rely on O(1) constant-cost algorithms:
▫️ The linear scalability trap – Processing users one-by-one destroys transaction execution 📉
▫️ Constant-cost efficiency – Execution fees stay identical whether serving 10, 1,000, or 1,000,000 users ⚡
▫️ Architectural necessity – O(1) algorithms are the foundation of scalable Web3 payment models 🛠️
Sergey Kravtsov (Papaya Finance) breaks down the hidden architectural secret behind high-scale DeFi protocols.
