Lightweight Shard Scaling Protocol refers to a method for improving the efficiency and scalability of blockchain networks. By dividing the blockchain into smaller, manageable pieces known as shards, the protocol allows multiple transactions to be processed simultaneously.Each shard operates independently, which reduces the overall load on the network and increases transaction throughput. This design enables the system to handle more users and transactions without sacrificing speed or increasing costs.The “lightweight” aspect means that the nodes do not need to store the entire blockchain. Instead, they keep only the data relevant to their assigned shard. This reduces the computational resources required, making it easier for more nodes to participate in the network.Overall, this protocol aims to enhance blockchain performance while maintaining security and decentralization, making it suitable for larger applications and user bases.
