What is #Sharding and which #blockchains are utilising this incredible technique?

This crypto guide as well as other free guides & project reviews can be read more clear on my website:

1/ 🧵👇

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!

4- Put simply, #Sharding is simply a technique which divides the blockchain's entire network into smaller fractions, called 'Shards'. Each of the Shards is made up of its own data, independent but can still communicate with other Shards.

5- The Sharding technique allows the network to increase the overall scalability of the #blockchain, allowing more users to access and interact with the network at any given time.

6- Sharding has incredible benefits but has some security issues. For example, if each Shard is replicated as its own #blockchain and has user data, a hacker could take over one shard and infect the whole network...

7- The Sharding process is used by many successful #blockchains. If you would like to read about these Sharding Networks, check out my website which will be left in the final thread!
