Let's talk about sharding.
Cross-shard transactions need to pass messages between different shards to coordinate their completion, and are usually more complex and slower than transactions within the same shard.
To be honest, I only understood this next point later on: when you see claims that “sharding delivers ultra-high TPS,” ask a few more questions: How many validators secure each shard, and how long do cross-shard transfers take?
$NEAR is NEAR's native token. This public blockchain uses the Nightshade sharding design.
Don't rush into products you don't understand. It's safer to practice with small amounts first.
