Sharded Blockchain Technology Achieves 1 Million TPS: Reshaping the Trilemma

The development of sharded layer-1s, such as NEAR and MultiversX (EGLD), has brought about a paradigm shift in blockchain scalability. They can now process up to 1 million transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining speed, decentralization, and security. This technical leap significantly reshapes the blockchain trilemma—the eternal challenge of balancing throughput, decentralization, and security.
