 \section{Introduction}
+Ethereum is inherently limited in the number of transactions it can perform per second~\cite{ethereum}.
+In order for Ethereum to gain mass adoption, an increase in throughput is desired.
+Current efforts include state channels~\cite{lightning} like the Raiden Network~\cite{raiden} and side chains~\cite{sidechains} like Plasma~\cite{plasma}.
+A drawback of the proposed solutions is the fact that the user has to be always online in order to ensure integrity of her transactions.
+
+OpenST Mosaic is a holistic solution powered by Ethereum to scale Ethereum to thousands of transactions per second.
