Ethereum Developer Vlad Zamfir Codes Sharding Proof-of-Concept

[jonnyc]

Sharding could be a reality on the Ethereum blockchain sooner than later. According to developments from Ethereum hackathon event EthBerlin, longtime core developer Vlad Zamfir has made great strides in developing Ethereum’s sharding solution. In effect, he has programmed a proof-of-concept demonstrating that certain Ethereum shards are able to communicate on the blockchain.

In a conversation with Coindesk, Zamfir revealed that he coded the proof-of-concept with other developers including Tim Beiko and Steve Marx. But he admitted that it’s  “not even close” to being ready for prime time on the Mainnet. But what they’ve unveiled is the code that will be paramount when it comes time to integrate the game-changing technology of sharding on the Ethereum blockchain.
