Abstract

The price increase resulting from the growing popularity of the blockchain technology, created numerous issues for decentralized applications. An increasing popular solution is running side-chains next to a popular blockchain, offering vast cost advantages. While the security impacts of these solutions are well understood, the complexity of moving an application to a side-chain and the cost advantages have received little attention in the literature. In this paper we analyze both the complexity as well as the cost advantages using a decentralized market application called Dagora Market as an example. We show that it is relatively simple to move an application to a side-chain resulting in a cost advantage of up to 6 orders of magnitude compared to running it on the mainchain.
