What is Shardeum?

EVM-Compatible
Blockchain Platform

Shardeum is an EVM-compatible blockchain platform that leverages dynamic state sharding to achieve linear scalability. This innovative approach allows us to consistently offer low transaction fees and high throughput, effectively addressing key barriers to blockchain adoption.

Our commitment to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing applications and developer tools, facilitating an easy transition for projects and developers looking to benefit from Shardeum’s infrastructure.

Our Core Principles

 

 

 

 

Open

We believe that everyone in the world is a team member of Shardeum. We think of Shardeum as we do the open internet. It is not owned by anyone, it is owned by everyone and participation is open to everyone. In keeping with this principle, we have maintained open communications, ideations, decisions, documentations on pretty much everything we do.

Collaborative

Our approach is rooted in the belief that collective efforts lead to the most innovative solutions and advancements. By eliminating the concept of competition, we aim to foster an ecosystem where every participant, whether an individual developer, a start-up, or even a competing blockchain platform, is viewed as a potential collaborator.

Community Driven

We envision a blockchain where the community doesn’t just use the technology but actively shapes its evolution. We aim to enforce a governance model that reflects this belief, providing mechanisms for community members to propose, debate, and vote on changes to the platform. We’re committed to transparency and open communication, ensuring that the community is well-informed and engaged at every stage of Shardeum’s development.

Open Projects
for the Community

We are opening up all of our projects, from the Shardeum website all the way to our global server. This is in accordance with our commitment to building the future of Shardeum with our community. You can find all the Shardeum Projects available on our Github Account, all fitted with well documented READMEs, and contributing guides.

To ensure that Shardeum is community owned, and will continue to be so in the future, we’re following the standards of the Apache Software Foundation. As one of the oldest open source organizations, its decades of experience have created a framework that ensures fair and community owned processes & responsibilities.

How to Get Started

As a community project we care deeply about enabling developers to join in developing Shardeum and its related projects, build new skills and add features you believe Shardeum should have. As such we’re always willing to help you get started, and mentor you on your journey of learning the project and making useful contributions.

There is good work to do for everyone with whatever skillset you have, and it doesn’t have to be code. We also welcome help with documentation, design, project organization, organizing meetups and promoting the project.
