Frequently asked questions

What is sharding?

Sharding divides the blockchain into smaller parts.

What are sidechains?

Sidechains are separate blockchains with two-way bridges.

Is optimizing the base layer also important?

Optimizing the base layer is also important.

What about increasing block size?

Increasing block size...
