The paper introduces Reticulum, a new sharding protocol that improves the scalability of blockchain technology. It does this through a two-phase design that adjusts transaction throughput based on adversarial attacks. The first phase involves writing transactions to blocks and voting, while the second phase involves collecting blocks that did not receive unanimous verdicts in the first phase and voting on them. This design allows for high transaction throughput and robustness against different types of attacks, making it superior to existing sharding protocols for blockchain networks.
