Offering a dual-layer solution, Partisia features consensus, governance & interoperable Zero-Knowledge & Oracle services.
The 2nd layer is essentially a platform for ZK computations - on-chain, off-chain, inter-chain, bolstering blockchain privacy in a decentralized way.

Decentralized nodes ensure security and integrity. As #web3 leans towards transparency, control over information is paramount.
By harnessing a global network of ZK computation nodes, Partisia enhances privacy and security, opening doors to secret voting, secure aid, etc.

Everything has to scale
You either scale or you die forgotten - those are the rules.
You cannot walk while everyone’s sprinting.
Ethereum’s way of scaling are L2s...and L2s development will get a huge boost from EIP-4844.

Everyone is talking about #ZK proofs these days. But what if I told you that there is a superior tech to #ZKP, already integrated in an L1 #blockchain, which is not even launched on exchanges yet? It's $MPC #Partisia! More details below.👀
First of all, what are #ZK proofs and how do they work? In a zero-knowledge proof, one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that they know a certain piece of information, without revealing what that information is.
This is possible because the proof itself is a mathematical statement that is easy to verify but hard to replicate without knowing the original information. So, one of the main benefits of zero-knowledge proofs in crypto is the ability to enhance #privacy.
What is #Sharding and which #blockchains are utilising this incredible technique?

2- There are so many #blockchains using different technologies and processing methods to create the most sustainable and scalable #blockchain. One major problem we will have in a world where #Cryptocurrency is adopted would be network congestion...
3- One special technique called #Sharding, used by a handful of popular #blockchains like #Zilliqa, #Polkadot & #NEAR, believes that sharding is the most efficient method of creating a scalable #blockchain!

2/ Blockchain networks by design faces the 'Blockchain #Trilemma'. Decentralized networks can only provide two of three aspects at any given time with respect to decentralization, security, and scalability.
3/ To achieve scalability, decentralized network must solve the data availability problem. Data availability refers to the idea that all transaction-related data is available to nodes on the blockchain network, but this process is resources incentive and causes network bottleneck

@Zilliqa first launched in 2017, as they saw other blockchains struggling with one major problem, scalability. That is where 'Sharding' comes into play...
#Zilliqa's very own engineering team also created a programming language, 'Scilla' which is supposed to guarantee the safety of smart contracts by limiting the exposure to attacks on the blockchain.
The #EthereumMerge was a success! But who has time to celebrate? There's still YEARS of work to be done!
In this part 2, we cover the years ahead, looking well into Ethereum’s (ever-changing) roadmap.
FYI, Part 1 is below for a refresher.

FYI, Part 1 is below for a refresher.
There is no official roadmap for #Ethereum, as it is predicated more on rough community consensus.
However, a high-level, noncontroversial plan stretching into 2023-24 is generally regarded as the agreed-upon path for the project.

In non-sharded blockchains, each node is responsible for processing every transaction and storing the entire state.
Even if there are 1000 nodes (⬆️ nodes = ⬆️ security), the TPS of the network is limited to the processing power of one node.
This creates a bottleneck.

Sharding is one of the most viable solutions to this problem.
It focuses on splitting the blockchain into smaller pieces called "shards."
Each shard can process a portion of the total transaction processing load, increasing the network's processing power.

[THREAD] C'est quoi le Sharding ?
Le but Sharding est d'améliorer la scalabilité d'une Blockchain et de traiter les transaction plus rapidement en "partitionnant" celle ci en plusieurs parties

En effet la #blockchain est une grande base de donnée et plus l'adoption se fait plus celle ci est saturé. Elle doit donc trouver un moyen d'améliorer sa scalabilité tout en respectant la sécurité des utilisateurs (trilemme de la blockchain)🔽
Le #Sharding est l'une des nombreuses solutions à la Scalabilité.

In the most significant #blockchain upgrade in history, the #Ethereum network is moving from a #proofofwork (#PoW) to a #proofofstake (#PoS) consensus mechanism to confirm transaction blocks, known as “The Merge”

1/ The two major upgrades, PoS #consensus and #sharding, promise to deliver fast transaction times with low network costs without sacrificing scalability, security, or decentralization. #TheMerge is Phase 0 of the rollout of the Ethereum 2.0 improvements this year.
2/ ‘The Merge’ will replace PoW and the temporary split solution with the more energy-efficient PoS consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. Transaction blocks will no longer be confirmed by solving computationally intensive puzzles.

How and why "data availability (DA)" became the sexiest topic in #Ethereum land, the #l222 space, and for #rollups
2/ Pre-2021 (roughly speaking), DA for most #blockchains wasn't a concern for 2 reasons:
1) most blockchains did not have enough usage to warrant any concern
2) the monolithic approach meant that each (full) node downloaded the entire block to check for availability no problemo

3/ However, this approach has its limitations/drawbacks, and, thus, new solutions like light clients, rollups (RUs), and the modular approach were implemented.

1/n From the time since its inception, scalability has been a big concern for Blockchains.
As blockchains become more mainstream, its essential for networks to be scalable with high throughput for explosive growth.
Low gas fees + Ultra high TPS = Growth 🚀

2/n Initially, vertical scaling was the dominant solution.
Simply explained, add more power to all the nodes so they can compute hash and validate transactions faster.
But there is a maxima to the technological advancement of nodes. This limits the total network throughput 🤒

There's a lot of questions about #cassie, what is the significance, why is it cool, what does it demonstrate, how is it #web3. Even moreso since the #radflix demo dropped & the exposure it got on various socials etc so here is a thread...
Hopefully yall know by now that it is primarily a research network. It started as a collection of radical ideas around #consensus, #sharding, #blockchain and #cassie is the embodiment of those ideas to demonstrate viability. But it has now become so much more...
It is technology that can do things that were said to be impossible. Technology that can do things other L1 tech hasn't even dreamt of trying to do. It is a technology which is being used to show proof of potential on all the *hardest* things first...
1/ Why is #blockchain scaling so controversial? From the #blocksizewars to #Alt L1s and #rollups.
Is it really that hard?!

2/ Blockchains like #Bitcoin and #Ethereum strive for maximum #decentralization and #censorship-resistance while remaining totally open and inclusive networks. However, they also want to scale to accommodate billions of users.
3/ As they stand right now, their limited capacity to process transactions at the base layer (~7 and ~20 TPS, respectively) are in direct opposition to achieving that goal.

👉 #scalabilité : la blockchain doit pouvoir accueillir un nombre croissant d'utilisateurs

👉 #scalabilité : la blockchain doit pouvoir accueillir un nombre croissant d'utilisateurs
2/ 👉 #sécurité : le point le plus important, sans sécurité il n'y a plus de #blockchain
Ces 3 points sont donc absolument nécessaires ; et pourtant, ils ne peuvent pas coexister.
Jusqu'ici, les blockchains n'ont pu obtenir que 2 points sur 3, et donc faire des compromis.
