Shardeum
Shardeum is an EVM based L1 that uses dynamic state sharding to achieve linear scalability.

What is Shardeum?
Shardeum is an EVM-based, linearly scalable smart contract platform that maintains true decentralization and solid security through dynamic state sharding. This means Shardeum can increase its TPS capacity with each validator added to the network to retain low gas fees forever. In many state sharded blockchains, developers face challenges as they don't retain atomic composability across shards. However, Shardeum uses a novel architecture where atomic composability is retained. Shardeum provides the highest throughput capacity of any EVM based L1 without sacrificing decentralization.
