Sharded Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism design that combines sharding with a proof-of-stake system to enhance blockchain scalability. Sharding divides the blockchain into smaller, interconnected segments called “shards,” each processing a subset of transactions concurrently. Proof of Stake then secures these shards by requiring validators to stake their digital assets to participate in block creation and verification. This approach aims to dramatically increase transaction throughput while maintaining decentralization and security.
Context
News regarding sharded proof of stake protocols, such as Ethereum’s ongoing upgrades, often highlights their potential to address the scalability limitations of earlier blockchain designs. While offering significant performance improvements, the implementation presents complex technical challenges related to cross-shard communication and security. The successful deployment of these systems is a critical development for the broader adoption of decentralized applications and digital assets.
QCG-ST introduces a post-quantum, lattice-based cryptographic layer over a sharded Proof-of-Stake consensus to ensure future-proof security and scalability.
