In the near future, there was a serious congestion in ethereum, caused by a game.

Cryptokitties on November 28 to the Ethereum blockchain, is a virtual cat game, players can buy and sell and breed different kinds of electronic pet kitten. The game is actually a dapp based on Ethereum, which quickly blew a whirlwind in the circle of cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

According to the data of the Ethereum blockchain, in the past 1500 blocks, accounted for a total of more than 16% of the proportion of transactions.

Cryptokitties, while demonstrating the great potential of Dapp, also exposes a deadly problem for Dapp.

Dapp is an application based on the intelligent contract, which runs on a distributed network of blockchain, and the running data is stored in the network, which is decentralized through the network nodes.

But we know that any application has a certain scope of application, it is impossible to cover all users. If the Dapp all the data to run and save on the blockchain, will inevitably cause the network congestion, which is not an unfair for other users.

The underlying data structure of the blockchain is to ensure security through redundancy, and if the Dapp data is also redundant on the blockchain network, then how much of the expansion of the blockchain can not meet the needs of the future. Blockchain will be like a serial collision of the highway accident scene, in the centralized management mode, will only become more and more blocked, more innocent vehicles have to pass.

What is the best mode of operation for the Dapp future?

We derive inspiration from everyday life. We often say that the "go-to-center" mode, in fact, can be divided into "global de-centrality" and "local to the central". For example, a national law is a global rule that can be executed and stored throughout the blockchain. Local files are local rules that are executed and stored in one part of the blockchain. This solves the relationship between fairness and efficiency.

Back to the original game. Cryptokitties as a Dapp game, its players should be a virtual de-centralized network, the game all the transaction data is limited to a part of the blockchain, only when the player leaves the game, the corresponding transaction data will affect the entire blockchain network. This provides a clean, unobstructed trading space for other non-gamers.

This is more in line with the essence of the theory of de-centering.
