Ethereum 2.0 introduces sharding as a groundbreaking solution to the blockchain scalability trilemma. By partitioning the blockchain into smaller, manageable shards, Ethereum aims to achieve decentralization, security, and scalability simultaneously. This article explores how sharding works and its implications for the future of Ethereum.
- Sharding partitions Ethereum’s blockchain into smaller shards to improve scalability without sacrificing decentralization or security.
- Cross-shard transactions use receipts for verification, enabling seamless communication between different shards.
- Ethereum 2.0 employs a Proof-of-Stake mechanism with randomly selected validators to propose and attest blocks within shards.
