Hmm source? Unless something has changed since January 3rd, 2022, sharding is intended as I stated. Here's an interview with Vitalik one of the core devs of ETH: https://youtu.be/b1m_PTVxD-s?t=1466 https://youtu.be/b1m_PTVxD-s?t=1466 Or perhaps you're saying Vitalik isn't relevant anymore? Perhaps he's only a figurehead now or something. Or perhaps I have something more to learn about how this all works. Again, sources would be great, I'm curious for what the future holds.

I am not questioning the roadmap, or that they want to have sharding. I am questioning the numbers. Getting 2400tps per shard is already a pipe-dream, but tps does not scale linearly with the number of shards. The more shards you have, the more transactions will require cross-shard communication, bringing total tps down. Also, the video you linked has Vitalik talking about roll-ups as the main way to scale. With roll-ups, sure, we can get to 100k tps, but like I said in this case we are not talking about base-layer anymore.

  Ah ok I'm getting sloppy with the terms roll ups and shards and I fundamentally understand neither. Happy to read any articles you wish to share on this. You mentioned that the core devs have changed their conclusions, for example, would be great to hear what they're thinking.

    > I fundamentally understand neither. Then, please-pretty-please do not put yourself in a position of spreading misinformation. Even if unintentionally. It's hard enough to fight the stigma even when armed with good information, when "critics" see unfounded claims like yours it confirms the bias against crypto even more. > Happy to read any articles No articles. Stay away from opinion pieces. Try to get actual documentation about the project. Ethhub has some good material about it (https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/ethereum-2.0/eth-2.0-phases/ https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/ethereum-2.0/eth-2.0...). Look at the "Layer-2 scaling" section to learn about roll-ups and the many other solutions.
