Scalability

Several aspects of the architecture make Rayls Private Networks scalable.

1. Rayls Sovereign: since each participant has their own Rayls Sovereign node, and each Private Network can have several Rayls Sovereign nodes connected to it, the system is inherently scalable. It scales far better this way than it would if all participants were connected directly to one large central blockchain, since that would put every client account and every internal transaction of every participant into a single chain. Distributing that work across Rayls Sovereign nodes is what makes the Private Network as a whole scalable.
2. Transaction batching: within a Private Network there are typically several participants sending tokens to one another. Rayls allows those transactions to be sent in batches, so that if Bank A needs to send 100 transactions to Bank B, each one representing a client transaction from Bank A to Bank B, all 100 can travel as a single batch transaction. Instead of 100 transactions passing through the Private Network Hub, there is one.

Even where a participant such as a bank completely uses up the capacity of its Rayls Sovereign node, that same participant can run additional Rayls Sovereign nodes.

Taken together, Rayls describes these approaches as making the system 'Infinitely Scalable', because it is always possible to add more Rayls Sovereign nodes, more Private Networks, and to optimise the transactions passing through the system.
