The implementation aims to expand network capacity while preserving existing security and decentralization parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum, the largest smart contract blockchain by total value locked, holds over $73 billion in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

This blockchain scaling method splits the network into smaller pieces, allowing nodes to process a portion of transactions while maintaining security, dramatically increasing throughput.<\/p>\n<p>Network developers have positioned the upgrade as a technical advancement in Ethereum\u2019s capacity to handle increased transaction volumes without compromising the distributed nature of the blockchain\u2019s validator network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSharding has been a dream for Ethereum since 2015\u2026 and data availability sampling since 2017,\u201d Buterin wrote, citing a GitHub <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ethereum\/research\/wiki\/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding\/52e1d03b0254cded8b67105be17ba9890b7ad8d3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">post<\/a>. \u201cAnd now we have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum topped $3,000 after the upgrade went live.
