This talk discusses the fundamental scalability challenges facing Monero, and demonstrates a radical upgrade pathway to address them. The approach consists of two sequential upgrades: Republic and Universe. Republic introduces a transition to a quorum-based consensus model, aiming to significantly improve throughput and stability. Building on this, Universe represents a more theoretical second stage, designed to enable effectively unbounded (ad infinitum) scalability via the implementation of a demand-based chain splitting and merging mechanism.
