Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Elrond: A Highly Scalable Public Blockchain via Adaptive State Sharding |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The 2019 Elrond paper on adaptive state sharding: shards that hold state, a metachain that notarises results, and a secure proof-of-stake selection of validators. The network later rebranded as MultiversX. The paper remains the design document. |
| Who may write | The Elrond team |
| What is settled | A metachain records shard headers and cross-shard outcomes. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The paper is not a performance certificate for the live network. |
| What this library says afterwards | Metachain liveness is a single place the design can still stall, even if shards are many. |
