Sharding splits a blockchain into smaller pieces called shards, allowing parallel transaction processing. This boosts throughput from 15 to 100,000 TPS, lowers fees, and keeps decentralization intact-key for Ethereum’s future and mass adoption.
Sharding and Layer 2 solutions are the two main ways blockchains scale. Layer 2s add speed on top of existing chains; sharding splits the chain itself. Learn which one fits your needs today and tomorrow.
