Knowledge Notes | Sharding
① Cross-shard transactions require messages to be passed between different shards to coordinate completion, so they are generally more complex and slower than transactions within a single shard.
② Despite having “sharding” in its name, Danksharding shards blob data, not transaction execution. Its core purpose is to provide Rollups with cheaper data space.
③ When you see claims that “sharding brings ultra-high TPS,” ask a few questions first: How many validators secure each shard, and how long do cross-shard transfers take?
