Incorporated a definition for "Sharding" in the glossary to enrich the comprehensiveness of blockchain-related terms. Sharding is elucidated as a fundamental scaling technique employed in blockchain technology. The definition emphasizes the intricate process of network partitioning into smaller, autonomous segments termed as shards. Each shard operates independently, handling its unique set of transactions and smart contracts. The overarching objective of sharding is to address scalability concerns within blockchain systems, promoting enhanced performance. By allowing simultaneous transactions and computations across diverse shards, this approach alleviates the burden on individual nodes, optimizing the efficiency of the entire blockchain network. This addition aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the term "Sharding" within the broader context of blockchain technology.
