What\u2019s hot in crypto this week?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Polkadot. It was created as a solution to Ethereum\u2019s scalability obstacles — mainly that the Ethereum network can\u2019t handle as many transactions per second on the scale as other payment systems can. Polkadot hopes to solve this issue through the use of a process called “sharding.” That’s where instead of each node on the network having a full version of Ethereum\u2019s transaction history, the data is split up into shards and distributed. This allows the Polkadot network to validate transactions much faster than Ethereum can, at a lower cost.<\/p>\n
