What is Elrond (EGLD)?
Elrond is a protocol that aims to provide Internet-scale blockchain solutions with Adaptive State Sharding and Secure PoS mechanism. These features allow Elrond to be run efficiently on average computers instead of energy-hungry custom hardwares.
Elrond was introduced in 2017 by Benjamin Mincu, Lucian Todea, and Lucian Mincu, all of whom were tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs before Elrond.
How Elrond (EGLD) Works
The Elrond blockchain is built on two underlying features of Adaptive State Sharding and Secure PoS consensus mechanism.
- Sharding is a technique that partitions data into different parts so that the data can be processed faster. Adaptive State Sharding combines three types of sharding, namely network sharding, transaction sharding, and state sharding, into one. The comprehensive sharding design makes the network highly scalable, fast, efficient, and adaptable while minimizing down-times.
- Secure PoS is an improved version of PoS. Secure PoS together with Adaptive State Sharding allows random selection of validators to happen almost instantaneously. Each chosen validator is then randomly assigned to different shards, and they only need to validate the data on these shards rather than the data on the whole chain.

Next to the Baltic Sea in northern Europe lies a small and beautiful country of Estonia. It neighbors the Gulf of Finland to the north, Latvia to the south, and Lake Peipus and Russia to the east. The country has a total area of 45,339 km2 and a total population of 1,331,796. The people of Estonia use Estonian as the official language and Euro (EUR) as the official currency. The capital of Tallinn is the largest city in the country, followed by Tartu, Narva, and Pärnu.
The biodiversity of Estonia is remarkable. A lot of species, highly endangered ones included, can only be found in the nation. In fact, 18% land and 26% territorial sea of Estonia are protected by law. Moreover, the land that is Estonia today has been occupied by humans for at least 11,000 years, so the culture is apparently rich and relics abundant.
