Quarkchain recently introduced Heterogeneous Sharding. In this article I want to tell you about the key features of this technology.
1. Heterogeneous sharding increases public chain throughput.
The public blockchain chain is a channel with a certain bandwidth limit. The higher the traffic, the lower the transaction speed. Sharding technology allows you to create additional throughput channels for equal traffic distribution. This increases the throughput of the chain, and hence the speed of transactions.
2. Sharding is dynamic technology.
This technology allows not only creating additional channels to accelerate transactions, but also dynamically adjusts their number depending on traffic. The maximum number of shards can be added is about 20000.
3. It is possible to use different blockchain components.
Depending on demand, Heterogeneous sharding allows you to create additional channels with different blockchain components. For example, POW can be used in one channel, and POS in another.
4. More options for chains.
Quarkchain Heterogeneous Sharding allows you to run chains in one click, also supports cross-chains.
5. Customization option.
The single chain does not support customization. All the four components cannot be modified once the chain is launched. Quarkchain Heterogeneous Sharding can customize for public chains as well as alliance chains and allows cross-chains.
Conclusion: summing up the above, we can conclude that the Heterogeneous Sharding technology provides more opportunities when using the blockchain, which will allow it to be used in business with greater productivity.
