  Ethereum 3.0, also known as Serenity, aims to address the scalability issues faced by previous versions of the cryptocurrency by implementing a new consensus algorithm called Proof of Stake (PoS). This algorithm replaces the energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm used in previous versions. By transitioning to PoS, Ethereum 3.0 reduces the need for mining and improves the scalability of the network. Additionally, Ethereum 3.0 introduces shard chains, which allow for parallel processing of transactions. This further enhances the scalability of the network by increasing the number of transactions that can be processed simultaneously. Furthermore, Ethereum 3.0 plans to introduce eWASM, a new virtual machine that improves the efficiency of executing smart contracts. With these improvements, Ethereum 3.0 aims to overcome the scalability challenges faced by previous versions and provide a more scalable and efficient platform for decentralized applications.
