Blockchain Sharding

Sharding is a technique used in computer science to horizontally partition a database or other data store across multiple servers, or "shards." Sharding aims to spread data across multiple servers so each server can handle a smaller amount of data, making the system more scalable and performant. In the context of blockchain technology, sharding refers to breaking up the network of nodes that maintain the blockchain into smaller, more manageable "shards." Each shard would maintain its subset of the blockchain…
