Shardeum: Revolutionizing Scalability in the Crypto Space

Nischal Shetty, the founder of India's largest crypto exchange, WazirX, is on a mission to address one of the most persistent challenges in the crypto space - scalability. With the launch of Shardeum, Nischal aims to make scalability affordable, secure, and fast, setting the stage for the future of Web3. In this exclusive interview, we dive into Nischal's vision for Shardeum and its contribution to the crypto industry.

Scalability has been a consistent challenge in the crypto space despite its massive growth. Shardeum aims to tackle this issue through dynamic sharding, increasing transactions per second (TPS) with every new node while maintaining decentralization and security. By providing high throughput, low latency, and immediate finality, Shardeum offers a solution that ensures low gas fees and enhances the user experience.

Looking ahead, Nischal envisions significant changes in the Web3 landscape. Emerging markets like India, Brazil, and Nigeria, along with countries utilizing blockchains for gaming, payments, and P2P transfers, will drive mainstream adoption. With Shardeum's low transaction fees and immediate finality, it aims to acquire a large user base in these markets, revolutionizing how blockchain technology is utilized.

Addressing concerns about scams and market conditions, Nischal emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence and external audits to build trust among investors. Despite challenges, he believes that the bear market presents an excellent opportunity for early movers to build and innovate.
