Shardeum Liberty (Alphanet) is Live!
Shardeum is an EVM-based layer 1 blockchain that ensures low fees and fast transactions forever. Build your dApps and Web 3.0 applications on Liberty and become a leader within the Shardeum ecosystem.
Why build on Shardeum Liberty?
EVM-Based Network
Smart contracts on Shardeum are written in developer-friendly languages such as Solidity and Vyper, allowing seamless deployment of EVM-based dApps and Web 3.0 applications on Liberty within minutes.
Linear Scalability
Dynamic state sharding enables Shardeum to increase transactions per second (TPS) by adding more nodes to the network, ensuring low gas fees forever, along with high decentralization and solid security.
Low-Cost P2P Transfers
Shardeum's high transactions per second (TPS) and low gas fees allow for global adoption because of fast and affordable peer-to-peer transactions.
High Fairness
Shardeum processes transactions on a first-come, first-serve basis, with the same gas rate for all transactions to ensure fairness and eliminate miner extractable value.
Immediate Finality
Consensus on Shardeum is done at the transaction level and processed in parallel across the network before being grouped into blocks, resulting in immediate finality and low latency.
DeFi, NFT & Other Web 3 Apps
Due to its ability to achieve high TPS by adding more nodes, Shardeum will provide Web 3.0 dApps with linear scalability, true decentralization and solid security to build smart contracts on a global scale.
