Sharded Smart Contract Architecture for Smart Contract Developers
summary
Proposes replacing monolithic token contracts with per-account extension contracts that hold each user balance and authorize only family transfers, using CREATE2 deterministic addresses to avoid registries and enable peer-to-peer cross-shard calls. Claims this lets contracts distribute across shards and scale beyond current hundreds–thousands TPS toward millions. Provides a working Ganache simulation of a sharded token (balances, approvals, transfers) that runs but notes non-atomic cross-shard calls and partial-failure tradeoffs for aggregators.
