# kaal:claim:3249860-040

**Claim.** To date no blockchain coherently and comprehensively combines scale, security, and decentralization, the three objectives of the blockchain trilemma, although continued experimentation with consensus algorithms can help overcome it over time.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- as of the study's 2018 data

**Source quote.**

> To date, no blockchain truly combines these three objectives coherently and comprehensively. Experimentation with different consensus algorithms can, over time, help overcome the blockchain trilemma.
