Scalability & AAM

Target: 100,000+ TPS | Latency: < 2s Cross-Shard. ZugChain utilizes Vertical Sharding for parallel execution across N=256 shards.

Paradigm Shift

Old Paradigm: Monolithic

Serial Processing & Bottlenecking. The entire transaction load accumulates on a single chain, creating severe network congestion.

ZugChain Paradigm: Vertical Sharding

Parallel Execution Across N=256. Transactions are processed concurrently across 256 parallel shards without bottlenecking.

1. SHARD A (TX Submit): The user initiates the transaction. The payload is submitted and processed on the originating shard.

2. Atomic State Transition: The secure cross-shard messaging protocol (AAM) engages, transferring the state seamlessly without data loss.

3. SHARD B (TX Finalized): The transaction is atomically confirmed on the destination shard within seconds, ensuring absolute finality.
