What is sharding, and why can it improve blockchain performance? Don’t panic—your class rep is here:
NEAR Protocol uses a sharding design called Nightshade, splitting the network into multiple shards that process transactions in parallel.
A common countermeasure is to randomly rotate validators across shards on a regular basis, making it harder for attackers to concentrate their forces on a specific shard in advance.
There won’t be a test on this lesson, but the market might give you a pop quiz.
