Investigating Sharding Advancements, Methodologies, and Adoption Potential in Hedera

Sharding is emerging as a key solution for blockchain scalability, but how can it be applied to Hedera’s unique architecture? This paper examines academic and industrial approaches before proposing a hybrid sharding model tailored to Hedera’s Gossip-about-Gossip and ABFT protocols.
