Shardeum Mainnet Launches Following Record-Breaking Testnet Participation
Shardeum has officially launched its mainnet after a testnet phase that drew over 1.4 million global participants, marking a historic milestone for Layer 1 validator node participation. The EVM-based autoscaling network’s testnet generated more than 171,000 physically-run public validator nodes—the highest ever recorded for a Layer 1 testnet.
The mainnet aims to address the ’scalability trilemma,’ offering developers and users a solution that balances decentralization, scalability, and affordability without compromise. Shardeum’s unique workload distribution capability positions it as a potential game-changer in blockchain infrastructure.
