TechFlow news: The NEAR Foundation announced today that the protocol working group will launch testing for Phase 2 of sharding this week.
Phase 2 introduces fundamental upgrades to the NEAR core protocol architecture, significantly enhancing network scalability and decentralization. A key benefit of the new sharding implementation is a 10x increase in NEAR's transaction throughput.
