Question about data/messaging blockchains

[thecoolguy62aws]

Hello Altcoin Board,

I had a general question about blockchains where the main purpose isn't use as a currency, but for data exchange (such as ADAMANT): how do such blockchains avoid extreme amounts of bloat while having extremely small transaction fees (equivalent value to less than $0.01 USD)?

I greatly appreciate all explanations.

The project you mentioned seems to be a fork of LISK to create their own appchain which helps reduce the fee needed. As far as I know to achieve high throughput, big data size, and keep things cheap, you're going to need an Appchain whether its a layer 1, layer 2, or layer 3. The Layer 3 is the cheapest and fastest which is why blockchain based games which need high throughput usually deploy their own.

Layer 1 is a lot of work , the Layer 2 is relatively easy and it bundled transactions which later get submitted to the Layer 1, Layer 3 is the cheapest because it bundled transactions to Layer 2 which is already cheap. Of course being cheapest come with a tradeoff, you'll have smaller access to liquidity or overall ecosystem from Layer 1.
