TechFlow news: NEAR announced a significant increase in users and transaction volume, leading to an expansion of the number of shards from 4 to 6 to process more transactions smoothly. This upgrade enhances network capacity by 50% and was completed without impacting system operations, ensuring users continue to enjoy a fast and stable experience.
The NEAR team also plans to launch stateless validation on the mainnet by the end of Q2, which is expected to increase throughput per shard by 5x and raise the total number of shards available for the network.
