Buy Elrond EGLD (€39.40)

Elrond (MultiversX) is a smart contract platform that supports dApps and NFTs, and like other platforms that came after Ethereum, Elrond (MultiversX) uses sharding technology to improve the speed and scalability of the blockchain. Sharding splits the blockchain into multiple "shards that run parallel to each other." Transactions are processed separately on the shards, and the results of all shards are synchronised and written to the blockchain. This protects the blockchain from the so-called bottleneck effect, where all transactions try to push through on one chain at the same time. For this reason, Elrond is marketed as an "internet-scale blockchain". Elrond (MultiversX) has already achieved 15,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sharding, and speeds of up to 263,000 TPS on the test network. Other widely used blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, can currently only handle 10 or 20 transactions per second at the base layer. However, both parties are also exploring scaling solutions that should improve their performance.
