NEAR's 'Sharding' Is Load-Splitting, Not Real Scalability
To be precise, I see it as eight people doing the work becoming nine — a marginal capacity gain rather than a structural change.
I don’t view NEAR’s approach as true sharding; it’s effectively load-splitting that redistributes work without removing cross-partition complexity.

Analysis
The technical claim appears overstated: adding an extra execution partition that still requires coordination mainly redistributes traffic and yields limited throughput improvement. True sharding usual...
Recommendation
I would watch on-chain performance and cross-partition metrics before committing capital; treat NEAR’s current approach as unproven for large-scale scalability.
