The main difference between side chains and state channels is side chains have a lot of flexibility in their design, e.g. they can have a different concensus mechanism etc… in State channels, because the Dapps are built on the Blockchain, they are bounded to the mechanics of the Blockchain, e.g having the same concensus algorithm etc.. but the good thing about being bounded is that whatever benefits the Blockchain has from it’s design, the Dapps will also have.
Pros
- In a classical Blockchain, the Dapp (decentralised application) is built on the Blockchain, and any transactions that happen on the Dapp is done on the Blockchain using it’s computational power.
Cons
- Problems with scaling means that as more Dapps are built on the Blockchain, the Blockchain is unable to keep up with the demand and the performance begins to slow down.
