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
