Shardeum has announced a partnership with Humanode to introduce biometric-based digital identity into its ecosystem, addressing one of Web3’s most persistent challenges: distinguishing real people from bots and fake accounts. Blockchains are highly effective at verifying wallets, but they struggle to identify the humans behind them. This gap has left dApps exposed, leading to bot-driven…
EVM Layer 1 blockchain Shardeum has launched its mainnet, transitioning from a token-only network to a fully functional smart contract platform. The upgrade aims to bring faster transactions, lower fees, and broader developer access to India’s Web3 ecosystem. The transition includes a major token redenomination, with all SHM tokens—whether staked or unclaimed—automatically adjusted at a…
EVM Layer-1 blockchain Shardeum has rolled out a week-long Quest Campaign to test its EVM Testnet and engage early users. Running from October 23 to 28, 2025, the Quest invites participants to perform on-chain actions such as deploying smart contracts, executing transactions, and stress-testing the network’s scalability. The campaign features a total reward pool of…
Shardeum, the India-first Layer 1 blockchain project announced the launch of its EVM-compatible testnet as part of its mission to build the Dapp ecosystem in India.

As blockchain technology strives for mainstream adoption, scalability remains a challenge. Traditional blockchains, with their sequential processing, struggle to handle the transaction volumes required for widespread use. Sharding, a database partitioning technique, has emerged as a crucial solution, dividing the network into smaller, parallel processing units to drastically increase throughput. This year, several sharding-enabled blockchain…
