Here is how ⬇️
🔸SINGLE SHARD TAKEOVER:
This is mitigated through random shuffling of validators across shards, enabled by network sharding
With ~800 nodes per shard and over 3400 across the entire network
MultiversX has more block-producing nodes per shard than most chains have in total
Ranking 2nd behind Ethereum in total block-producing nodes
MultiversX makes a single-shard takeover statistically impossible without compromising the entire network
Security per shard rivals that of entire networks on other blockchains
Then consider how network sharding randomly shuffles these nodes and it makes for a network that is far more secure
🔸CROSS-SHARD TRANSACTIONS:
Cross-shard execution does increase complexity but not risk
MultiversX eliminates double-spend vectors through ESDT, its native token model
All tokens behave exactly like $EGLD at the base layer
This removes the need for token smart contracts, cutting attack surface dramatically
Over 70% of Ethereum/EVM exploits are not possible on MultiversX
No wallet drains, no reentrancy loops, no token mishandling
In fact, no Guarded wallet on MultiversX has EVER lost funds due to a hack!
🔸DATA AVAILABILITY PROBLEMS:
This is a non-issue for MultiversX due to its account-based model and native assets
Data availability is handled directly within the protocol
The metachain coordinates all shard activity, enabling seamless communication and composability
There is no reliance on third-party DA layers or off-chain syncing
Everything needed to finalize and validate lives on-chain
🔸NETWORK SECURITY:
Sharding in MultiversX is not a tradeoff but an upgrade
The protocol allows anyone to run a validator with consumer-grade hardware
In fact, there are nodes currently running on smartphones and Starlink internet
This opens the door to true decentralization across thousands of nodes
The network currently has over 3400 active block producers and continues to grow
No other chain can match that while maintaining this level of throughput and decentralization
🔸NODE SYNCHRONIZATION:
MultiversX solves this through Adaptive State Sharding and the metachain
Shards operate in parallel and sync through deterministic rules, not brute-force messaging
Cross-shard logic is baked into the protocol, not hacked on later
This is not rollups. Not subnets. Not Layer 2.
This is real, native, fully parallelized sharding
