Shardeum Goes Live: Bandit Network Partnership Supercharges Web3 Mass Adoption

Game on—Shardeum just flipped the switch on its Mainnet, and they're bringing Bandit Network along for the ride. This isn't just another blockchain launch; it's a turbocharged play for Web3 dominance.

Why it matters: While traditional finance still argues about 'blockchain vs. legacy systems,' Shardeum and Bandit are busy building the on-ramps for the next million users. No permission slips required.

The cynical take: Sure, Wall Street will 'discover' this innovation in 2027—right after they finish shorting it into oblivion. But for once, the tech might actually outpace the rent-seeking.

Bottom line: The Mainnet is live. The partner is locked in. Now we see if the market cares about scalability—or just the next meme coin.

• Bandit Network enables customisability and performance trackability toolkits to enrich Shardeum’s testnet & mainnet campaigns. 
• The Autoscaling Blockchain continues its mission to facilitate an affordable blockchain ecosystem with fees as low as $0.01.

– Bandit Network, the pioneering white-labeled Web3 marketing campaign infrastructure (self-hosted), announces Shardeum’s mainnet launch in Dubai. The autoscaling EVM-based LAYER 1 blockchain, together with Bandit Network, is taking a big step forward. It will encourage widespread adoption through the launch of the mainnet.

Aiming for Mass Adoption

Shardeum aims to achieve this mass adoption by introducing permissionless validator access and dynamic state sharding through their autoscaling network. Through the 4-stagetestnet, Shardeum had a total ofandThat propelled the peak TPM (transactions per minute) to over 1000 transactions.

said, “At Shardeum, our mission is to democratize access to blockchain by making it affordable, scalable, and truly decentralized. The launch of our mainnet marks a monumental step towards that mission, i.e., bringing to life a network that not only maintains low fees and high throughput but also enables anyone to participate as a validator through permissionless access and dynamic state sharding.

Our collaboration with Bandit Network has been instrumental in creating a seamless and engaging onboarding experience for our community during the Atomium testnet. As we step into this new phase, we are not just launching a blockchain; we are shaping a new standard for accessible, community-powered infrastructure in Web3. This is just the beginning of a long-term vision where scalability meets decentralization without compromise.” 

The Role of Bandit Network

With its highly customizable white-label infrastructure, Bandit Network has played a pivotal role in achieving the testnet milestones. It enabled seamless operability and functionality for Shardeum users while ensuring robust integration with the host platform.  

Bandit Network provided analytics tools for tracking performance and optimizing campaigns, and also offered pre-integrated tools. Thus, it ensured a holistic infrastructure was in place for the smooth execution of the Atomium ITN.

“Supporting Shardeum’s testnet with our customizable infrastructure was both exciting and impactful. This collaboration, I believe, is bound to augment our fast-growing user base and help us innovate much-advanced features and capabilities to take our infrastructure to the next stage of updation. We’re thrilled about what we’ve pulled off together with Shardeum and look forward to more such collaborations in the future to enable widespread Web3 adoption”,

Shardeum also recently tapped the highest number of physically run nodes ever recorded for a Layer 1 testnet. There were 171,000 total validators on its network during the session. With an astounding response to the testnet, Shardeum is going to release its mainnet. It aims to deliver an accessible, scalable, and sustainable blockchain infrastructure to the Web3 world.

About Shardeum:

Shardeumis an autoscaling EVM-based layer-1 blockchain. Dynamic state sharding helps keep gas fees low and TPS high as participation grows. Shardeum performs consensus at the transaction level and lowers the computational power needed for validator nodes. This consensus mechanism makes it possible for anyone to run a node while increasing decentralization.

About Bandit Network: 

Badchain is the first memetic appchain on solana where every transaction is a chance to win. Chaos is the default, every tx is a gamble, and fun is the protocol. While other chains chase world-saving narratives, we’re here for something better, pure entertainment with real utility. Memes, mischief, and clever mechanics.
