What is the original Danks shard?
Sharding is a method of splitting a ledger into smaller parts, called shards. But proto-danksharding is one of the most opaque terms in the crypto world’s vocabulary. The term doesn’t particularly have a guiding meaning. Is proto short for prototype? Is this the same dank from your favorite meme folder? Both assumptions might be fairly reasonable, but both are wrong. First proposed by protolambda and Dankrad Feist, who named the idea after themselves, proto-danksharding is a transaction type that accepts the aforementioned blobs. The solution using blobs is designed to overcome Ethereum’s long-standing problems with high gas fees and low transaction throughput.
