Most people think sharding is simple, but this is where it's easy to get wrong:
NEAR Protocol uses a sharding design called Nightshade, splitting the network into multiple shards that process transactions in parallel.
One way to address this is to randomly reassign validators to each shard at regular intervals, making it difficult for attackers to concentrate their power on a specific shard in advance.
When making transfers on a sharded public blockchain, pay attention to the confirmation progress in your wallet. Cross-shard transfers may take a little longer than regular transactions.
$NEAR is NEAR's native token. This public blockchain uses the Nightshade sharding design. Currently, 3.77.
