My biggest issue with blockchain is scalablity, which is proving to be a bigger and bigger problem as more people are into cryptocurrencies.

Are there actual solutions to this problem?

Plasma MVP (built upon Ethereum blockchain) was just released. Plasma is supposed to be able to handle more then 1 million transactions per second, which is way more then what Visa handle right now

Very cool, but as any chain, is not block chain only as strong as its strongest(or slowest in this case) link?

There's Blocknet, which is providing interoperability to blockchains. The way this helps is that it allows developers to build services that are blockchain agnostic. Rather than building on an all-in-one platform, you can develop on whichever blockchain you want and tie in services from other platforms. This enables a microservice ecosystem together where tasks are more targeted and distributed across chains, which removes chain bloat.
