Sharding Blockchain Consensus refers to a scaling technique where a blockchain is divided into smaller, independent segments called shards, each processing its own set of transactions and maintaining its own state. Consensus within each shard is achieved independently, and a separate mechanism coordinates consensus across all shards to maintain overall network integrity. This approach significantly increases transaction throughput by allowing parallel processing of operations. It represents a key method for improving blockchain scalability.
Context
Sharding blockchain consensus is a leading solution for addressing the scalability limitations of monolithic blockchains, with projects like Ethereum 2.0 actively implementing this architecture. Technical discussions often involve the complexities of cross-shard communication, data availability, and security considerations for the entire network. The successful deployment of sharding is anticipated to unlock new levels of performance for decentralized applications.
Kronos introduces a generic sharding consensus with a jointly managed buffer and batch certification, achieving secure, atomic cross-shard transactions with optimal overhead.
