Shardeum uses the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it fully compatible with existing Ethereum-based developer tools, including solidity for smart contract deployment. This makes it easy to migrate applications or build new ones on Shardeum – while benefiting from low gas fees, fast finality, and low latency.

The updated roadmap is divided into two phases. Phase 1 begins now, with the goal of reaching 10 million users. Once there, Phase 2 will be about bringing Shardeum’s innovative technology to market, enabling the network to scale for global adoption while maintaining performance, and delivering seamless user experiences.

While the base software is widely adopted and audited in the blockchain ecosystem, we will provide further details on bug bounties as and when new Shardeum-specific features are announced.

Shardeum uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS), where validators must lock up SHM as collateral to join consensus. To take over the network, an attacker would need to control majority of all actively staked tokens and resources – an enormously costly and impractical effort. Misbehavior leads to slashing and reputational damage, making such attacks irrational. In practice, this design makes a 51% takeover prohibitively expensive and strongly incentivizes honest participation.

Energy efficiency means the consensus algorithm used by the network should not require excessive energy beyond what is necessary to process the transactions. Bitcoin and other networks based on the Nakamoto consensus are designed to use high energy expenditure to secure the network from a 51% attack. However, efficient consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-stake do not require high energy expenditure.
