Similar to the RSCoin~\cite{danezis2016rscoin} design, this +ensures that conflicting transactions end up in the same shard, +enabling linear scalability of the database operations. Similarly, +the cryptographic verification in the frontend can be distributed over +as many compute nodes as required. \section{Discussion} |
