In this guide, you will learn What are Ethereum Nodes
And Sharding?
If you have been active in one form or another in
cryptocurrency for the last 1 year then you would know
that there has been one issue which has plagued both
bitcoin and Ethereum: Scalability.
Bitcoin has somewhat addressed this issue by activating
Segwit and by hard forking into Bitcoin Cash. Ethereum,
however, is trying to solve this issue in a different way.
One of the many protocols that they are looking to
activate, as they go into the next phase of their growth, is
“sharding”. Before we understand what that means, we
need to have a thorough understanding of networks and
nodes.
