Ali Yahya emphasizes the importance of horizontal scaling in computer systems for achieving indefinite scalability. He credits this approach for NEAR's sharding mechanism, which recently achieved a milestone of 1 million transactions per second.
By utilizing additional machines rather than merely enhancing the size of existing ones, horizontal scaling mirrors the operational methods of the internet. This advancement positions NEAR as a formidable player in the blockchain space.
This evolution in blockchain architecture not only enhances scalability but also underscores the growing relevance of self-executing code across distributed systems, reflecting themes discussed in the development of smart contracts that transform promises into verifiable, automated agreements.
