Abstract

Blockchain technology, while revolutionary in its approach to secure and decentralized data management, faces significant scalability challenges. As transaction volumes increase, traditional blockchain networks often struggle with performance bottlenecks, leading to slower transaction times, higher costs, and increased computational demands. This paper presents a novel solution to these scalability issues through the implementation of a dynamic sharding algorithm. The proposed algorithm introduces a flexible framework for partitioning a blockchain network into multiple dynamically managed shards. Each shard operates as an independent blockchain, allowing the system to distribute transaction loads more effectively and adapt to varying levels of activity. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, we apply the dynamic sharding algorithm to a blockchain-based student marks card management system. This application benefits from improved scalability, security, and efficiency, addressing the limitations of traditional centralized record-keeping methods. The results show that dynamic sharding achieves a 19.5% increase in transaction throughput and a 25% reduction in latency, while also maintaining the integrity and transparency of the blockchain network.
