Given that [DLTs](Distributed-Ledger-Technologies-(DLTs)) are distributed systems, the CAP theorem applies to them. Algorand, for example, addresses the problem by favoring security over availability — their network simply stops during a sufficiently large network split, i.e. dropping the "P" in "CAP". As an example of how the CAP theorem forces the blockchain trilemma, consider that in the context of DLTs claiming "instant finality" it is relevant to inquire how they can guarantee that in the face of network splits.

The Gajumaru solves the blockchain trilemma in a novel way that is related to both its architecture and its approach to [[consensus]]. The Gajumaru solves the blockchain trilemma in a novel way that is related to both its architecture and its approach to [consensus](Consensus).
