Sharded PoS

Definition

Sharded PoS refers to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain architecture that divides the network into smaller, interconnected segments called “shards” to enhance scalability. Each shard processes a subset of transactions independently, increasing the overall transaction throughput of the network. Validators in a sharded PoS system are assigned to different shards, securing and verifying transactions within their assigned segment. This method significantly improves network capacity and efficiency.
