Decentralization for everyone

Shardeum is a Layer 1 blockchain, a linearly scalable EVM-based smart contract platform that provides low gas fees forever while maintaining true decentralization and strong security.

Dividing the nodes in the network into smaller groups called shards separates the workload and allows for more parallel processing.

It also allows the platform to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to increase throughput. A network with more nodes will also have a higher degree of decentralization.

Shardeum also includes many unique features such as linear scaling, node rotation, load detection, and autoscaling.

Most platforms group transactions into blocks and enforce block-level consensus.
Shardeum makes a consensus for each transaction separately.
This allows you to process a transaction that affects multiple shards at the same time, rather than sequentially, as with block-level consensus. This reduces transaction processing time.

Another unique feature of Shardeum is that it uses dynamic node state sharding rather than static sharding.

While dynamic sharding is more difficult to implement than static sharding, it does allow for linear scaling.
