Crypto Mini-Lesson 📚 Sharding
In a sharded blockchain, each node only needs to process transactions in some of the shards, and the processing capacity of the whole network increases as the number of shards grows.
NEAR Protocol uses a sharding design called Nightshade, where the network is divided into multiple shards that process transactions in parallel.
There’s no homework for this lesson, but there may be a pop quiz on market prices.
$NEAR is NEAR’s native coin. This public blockchain uses the Nightshade sharding design. Currently 4.242.
