Danksharding
A planned Ethereum scaling design intended to dramatically increase data availability capacity.
Danksharding is a planned Ethereum scaling design intended to substantially increase the network's data availability capacity, primarily benefiting Layer 2 rollups by making it cheaper and more scalable for them to post their transaction data back to Ethereum.
It represents a significant evolution of Ethereum's originally proposed sharding approach, redesigned to focus specifically on data availability rather than fully sharded execution.
Examples
- Danksharding is designed primarily to make posting Layer 2 data to Ethereum cheaper and more scalable.
- It represents an evolution of Ethereum's original sharding roadmap, refocused on data availability.
