Sharding boosts blockchain performance by splitting the network into smaller, parallel-processing segments called shards. Ethereum (ETH), transitioning to sharding, aims to process up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), far surpassing its current 15-30 TPS. Each shard handles a subset of transactions, reducing congestion. Near $NEAR $EGLD

Protocol (NEAR) and Elrond (EGLD) also use sharding for scalability. ETH’s sharding distributes data and computation, improving throughput while maintaining security via cross-shard communication. NEAR’s Nightshade sharding enhances user experience with fast finality, while EGLD’s adaptive sharding optimizes resource use. However, sharding introduces complexity, as cross-shard transactions require coordination, potentially increasing latency or vulnerabilities. $ETH

Ethereum’s beacon chain coordinates shards, ensuring consistency. Sharding significantly enhances scalability, making blockchains like ETH, NEAR, and EGLD more efficient for dApps and DeFi. #Sharding #Ethereum #Scalability #Blockchain #Crypto
