The blockchain trilemma is the concept that a blockchain has to make trade-offs between the three core tenets (Decentralization, Speed, Security) and is unlikely to be able to improve in one area without sacrificing another.

Monolithic blockchain is a fancy way of describing a blockchain that does all of the computation and processing on a single chain. Most Layer-1s (L1) built today follow that structure and are monolithic blockchains.

Modular blockchains, on the other hand, split chains up into execution, security, and data availability layers. Each chain has a specific role and is built on top of another in order to inherit the qualities of the underlying blockchain. In Ethereum’s case, the Ethereum L1 becomes the security and data availability layer while the Layer-2s (L2) built on top of it acts as the execution layer.
