Shardeum will be a sharded layer 1 blockchain with infinite scalability, true decentralization and solid security.
Shardeum aims to be a chain capable of onboarding over a billion people to the blockchain and crypto revolution. Shardeum, like the Internet will be open, collaborative and community driven that would democratize accessibility to decentralization.
Shardeum will be the infrastructure on which the next iteration of the Internet which is Web3 will be built on.
