Sharding

Scalability is identified as a major issue with blockchain networks. If blockchain is to be adopted by financial technology (FinTech) companies, it must solve the scalability issues, throughput and address latency problems.

Rupto Blockchain - Sharding

Rupto blockchain uses the sharding architecture to solve the scalability issue. Sharding is one of several popular methods being explored by blockchain developers to solve the drawbacks it is currently facing and to increase transactional throughput. In simpler terms, sharding is a way of partitioning to spread out the computational and storage workload across a peer-to-peer (P2P) network so that not every node needs to process the entire network's transactional load. Instead, each node only maintains information related to its partition called shard The information contained in a shard can still be shared among other nodes, which keeps the ledger decentralized and secure.
