If every node has to verify every transaction, where is the performance ceiling of a public blockchain?
First, some background: Ethereum initially planned execution sharding, but after 2020 it shifted to a rollup-centric roadmap, with sharding repurposed to serve data availability.
How it works: A common approach is to randomly assign validators to each shard at regular intervals, making it difficult for attackers to concentrate their power on a particular shard in advance.
$NEAR is NEAR’s native token, and this public blockchain uses the Nightshade sharding design.
Markets are always uncertain, so decide in advance what you’ll do if you’re wrong.
Don’t treat any of this as a buy or sell signal.
