This will bring a new way of doing transactions in real time, with a real concept of scalability implemented with operations running in light speed, I can guarantee that!

A  group of computer engineers, lead by a former NASA and Yahoo systems architect is working to solve two of the biggest issues in distributed ledger technology. Started as the Unblocked Ledger Project in 2015, it continues today with the same core developer team and a new name.

The project is called Shardus, a fourth-generation distributed ledger that utilizes a blockless architecture. By processing each transaction separately, instead of into blocks, Shardus is confident it can achieve true scalability, sustainability and decentralization.

Shardus will be the first decentralized ledger that utilizes sharding techniques to evenly distribute compute, storage and bandwidth across all nodes. It features a unique consensus protocol, the Shardus Consensus Algorithm, to support immediate processing of transactions without grouping them into blocks by a leader or a temporary leader node.

New Code Base — not forked from any other network
The Shardus Consensus Algorithm — unique consensus model
The Shardus Distributed Ledger — adding more nodes increases compute and storage capacity of the network while bandwidth remains constant
The Shardus Token — incentive token for development and licensing
Liberdus — a coin and peer-to-peer payment network will feature the first application of Shardus technology

Shardus technology aims to support global-scale decentralized applications, reaching billions of users and require millions of transactions per second.
