# Scalability Human Network was designed to be scalable to practically unlimited users. The threshold cryptography is fully asynchronous, but for the network to take payments, some global state of payments to to the network must be agreed upon. To do so efficiently, consensus is avoided via a credit system with novel deterministic random node selection and proof-of-work-like randomized reward system. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.network.human.tech/decentralization/architecture/scalability.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
