Talking all things Nightshade 2.0 - Learn about state of the art validation on NEAR Protocol

A DevHub Live collaboration with NEAR Protocol.
The NEAR Protocol is taking a giant leap forward with the launch of Nightshade 2.0 on Mainnet. This latest upgrade significantly boosts performance and decentralization, introducing stateless validation and enhancing single-shard performance. It also increases capacity for more shards, setting the stage for further scalability-without disrupting developers or users.

🔔 What’s New:
• Stateless Validation: Allowing NEAR validators to retrieve the data they need from the network, eliminating the need to maintain shard states locally.
• Scalability & Usability Enhancements: Nightshade 2.0 improves single-shard performance and prepares NEAR for more shards, with a target of 10 by the end of 2024.
• Advancing NEAR's Vision: This upgrade supports NEAR’s infrastructure, enabling the ecosystem to grow with more consumer apps, Chain Abstraction, modularity, DeFi, and User-Owned AI-paving the way to a billion users and beyond.
