Prysmatic Labs introduction
The Prysmatic Labs blockchain development team is the initial beneficiary of the Ethereum Foundation, and is committed to the horizontal expansion of Ethereum, providing support for valuable DApps and smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Raul Jordan, who leads the Prysmatic Lab project, hails from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and studied computer science at Harvard. The team has a variety of backgrounds from distributed systems to cloud computing, emphasizing a test-driven approach and implementing the system's first shard client. The blockchain sharding solution that the Prysmatic Labs team is researching and developing aims to divide the entire state of the Ethereum blockchain into separate pieces to solve the three major problems of scalability, security, and decentralization. You can think of the Ethereum network as a single shard, and all nodes in the network need to process every transaction in this very large shard. Sharding divides the network into multiple slices, and some nodes only need to process transactions of certain slices, so this scheme increases the total throughput from the perspective of the network.
