Richardson, TX, Sunday, April 18th, 2021 — The Montreal Blockchain Lab (MBL) will be evaluating the Shardus software. As the Shardus Association nears the release of the first version of Shardus, an academic review of the Shardus consensus algorithm and sharding protocol will help ensure a greater level of security and correctness. The partnership will help to ensure a safe and secure experience for early developers building decentralized applications with Shardus.
Known as one of the first teams in the world to demonstrate a state-sharded decentralized network, Shardus provides software used to build custom decentralized networks with linear scaling capabilities.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Montreal Blockchain Lab and bring their teams experience from organizations such as Bellcore, Intel, United Nations, IBM, Mizuho Securities USA and Goldman Sachs into securing the Shardus code.” said Gregory Hemmer, Partnership Manager at Shardus. “Our partnership with MBL provides developers with confidence that Shardus has been thoroughly audited.”
This partnership will advance the development of Shardus and enable decentralized applications to scale, providing the same UX society is accustomed to with modern centralized applications.
