Cloudflare Exec Says Ethereum's Original Sharding Plan Could Work for Stablecoin Payments
- —Papper: sharding was "way too difficult for DeFi," but for payments "a dollar is a dollar"
- —Ethereum dropped shard chains in October 2020 for a rollup-centric roadmap
- —Cloudflare would need more throughput than every blockchain combined
- —Cloudflare's agent payment products are "going live soon"; own blockchain still undecided
Why it matters: A major internet infrastructure provider hunting for internet-scale blockchain payments could reshape throughput demands on networks and stablecoins.
