Asked: What is sharding, and why can it improve blockchain performance?
My answer: Sharding originated in database technology. It means splitting data and computational tasks into multiple shards, which process them in parallel. A common countermeasure is to randomly rotate the validators assigned to each shard at regular intervals, making it difficult for attackers to concentrate their forces on a particular shard in advance.
