Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Blockchain Sharding: Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive exploration of one of the most promising scalability solutions for blockchain systems. This book bridges the gap between foundational theories and real-world implementations, offering an in-depth analysis of how sharding enhances blockchain performance, security, and efficiency. Readers will gain a holistic understanding of the technology, from its fundamental principles to cutting-edge advancements, making it an essential resource for researchers and practitioners alike.
As blockchain adoption grows, scalability remains a critical challenge. Sharding addresses this by partitioning the blockchain into smaller, parallel-processed shards—yet it introduces complexities such as cross-shard transactions, security risks, and workload distribution. This book consolidates the latest research, innovative protocols, and practical solutions to these challenges, serving as a vital reference for the academic and developer communities. Key topics include cross-shard transaction handling, dynamic shard reconfiguration, workload balancing, and real-world applications in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Designed for researchers, engineers, and students in blockchain and distributed systems, this book equips readers with both theoretical insights and hands-on knowledge. It covers advanced techniques such as broker-based sharding, incentive mechanisms, and experimental tools like BlockEmulator for protocol validation. Whether you aim to deepen your expertise or implement sharding in practice, this book provides the necessary foundations, methodologies, and case studies to drive innovation in scalable blockchain systems. A basic understanding of blockchain fundamentals and distributed computing is recommended for optimal engagement.
