Acne Buterin: with the approach of Sharding, scaling for Ethereum will cease to be a global problem

The problem of scaling, a kind of scourge of the cryptocurrency might soon cease to be relevant to Ethereum with the introduction of Sharding Protocol.

As stated in your concise the tweet acne Buterin:

Sharding approaches.

Sharding is coming.https://t.co/Aqo9MBiCj0 pic.twitter.com/FXEQeiKGDr— Vitalik “Not giving away ETH” Buterin (@VitalikButerin) April 30, 2018

The post on Reddit and a series of tweets, which were published yesterday, Buterin proposed a “package of ideas” to implement in Ethereum.

Sharding is a method of increasing the number of transactions that can handle the blockchain. The method works directly on the blockchain (and not outside it as some other solutions). Resources of a distributed network are distributed in such a way that allows them to process more transactions in less time.

Buterin assumes that the time required for processing blocks “sharding” divided between the groups of computers that will be about ten seconds. In a series of tweets Buterin wrote:

I would not say that the specification is complete, but we already have a package of ideas. Recent studies are combining existing ideas solving the scaling problem and reduce the processing time of the blocks.

The developers of Ethereum already for quite a long time looking for ways to improve scaling on the blockchain that would enhance the competitiveness of the network with such giants as Visa.
