Shardus

The Shardus project aims to build novel distributed ledger technology which incorporates sharding and auto-scaling to provide high throughput, low latency, and immediate finality while maintaining the highest level of decentralization and security possible. The technology being developed will use compute and state sharding to accommodate billions of daily active users, allowing for global scale decentralized applications. The key components which make this possible are the Unblocked Sharded Ledger and the Unblocked Consensus Algorithm which is based on Proof-of-Quorum.
The first application of this technology will be a peer-to-peer payment network called Liberdus with a native coin that is earned by nodes which contribute resources to the network. Liberdus will serve not just to provide a coin and payment network, but to also showcase novel distributed ledger technology developed by Shardus. Liberdus will inherits the distributed ledger technology of Shardus and adds self-governance and a maintenance fund. This will allow the coin holders to vote on economic parameters of Liberdus, as well as projects to further enhance and promote Liberdus.
