What is Nested Blockchain?

A nested blockchain is a decentralized network that utilizes a main blockchain to set parameters for the broader network, while executions are undertaken on an interconnected web of secondary chains. Multiple blockchain levels are built on this mainchain, with these levels using a parent-child connection. The parent chain delegates work to child chains that send it back to the parent after completion. The underlying base blockchain does not take part in network functions unless dispute resolution is necessary. The distribution of work under this model reduces the processing burden on the mainchain to improve scalability.
