CoinW officially listed Shardeum’s native token SHM on May 8, 2025, supporting the world’s first autoscaling Layer-1 blockchain. Shardeum’s unique dynamic state sharding and consensus mechanism enable scalable, secure, and low-cost transactions. With CoinW’s deep liquidity and global reach, SHM aims to drive widespread adoption and innovation in the Layer-1 ecosystem.
On May 8, 2025, CoinW, a globally leading cryptocurrency exchange, officially listed SHM, the native token of the world’s first autoscaling blockchain Shardeum. This move marks not only a strategic advancement in CoinW’s Layer1 ecosystem deployment but also underscores the platform’s core commitment to user-first principles—curating high-potential, technology-driven assets for global investors.
As a key player in the infrastructure layer of the crypto industry, CoinW continues to fulfill its mission of Discovering Value, Empowering the Future by offering all-round support—technical, traffic, and resource-based—to enable promising projects to leap from technical innovation to full ecosystem growth.
Breaking the Blockchain Trilemma: Shardeum’s Scalable, Decentralized Vision
Shardeum is led by Nischal Shetty, a pioneering figure in India’s crypto space. Since 2022, Shetty has focused on Shardeum—an attempt to deliver a “high-performance, low-cost, and decentralized” Layer1 blockchain to power Web3 at scale globally.
Most Layer 1 blockchains have struggled to balance the “blockchain trilemma” – decentralization, scalability, and security – often sacrificing one to optimize the others. Some chose speed at the cost of decentralization, while others prioritized security but couldn’t scale efficiently. Shardeum breaks this pattern.
Its unique dynamic state sharding architecture and built-in autoscaling allow the network to scale linearly with demand. As more users and transactions flow in, the network automatically adds more nodes to handle the load – without spiking gas fees or slowing down.
At the same time, it remains permissionless and decentralized, with all nodes participating in consensus. Shardeum is among the first L1s to scale sustainably without sacrificing any pillar of the blockchain trilemma.
A Balanced Breakthrough: Shardeum’s Four Pillars of Innovation
CoinW Research conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Shardeum across four dimensions: technological innovation, permissionless nature, developer focus, and tokenomics:
- Technical Breakthrough: Shardeum’s Autoscaling capability allows the network throughput (TPS) to grow as more nodes join the network while maintaining gas fees consistently as low as $0.01 even during network congestion. The network uses dynamic state sharding and proprietary Proof-of-Quorum Optimistic (PoQo), allowing the network to scale near-infinitely as more nodes join.
- Permissionless validator network: Shardeum’s testnet saw over 171,000 physically run validator nodes – the highest among Layer 1 testnets. The Mainnet genesis starts with 256 validators (2 shards). At a time when many L1s face centralization tradeoffs, Shardeum is showcasing what a truly permissionless validator network can look like without requiring any complex setup. Thanks to Shardeum’s lightweight validator requirements, the node setup process works with a single command, asking users a few basic questions before spinning up a fully synced validator in under a minute. This drastically lowers the technical and time barriers to participation – especially in emerging markets – while reinforcing network decentralization.
- Developer focus: Shardeum has launched with 60+ open-source repositories and over 32,000 stars on GitHub, Shardeum’s codebase is open and transparent. At launch, Shardeum supports popular explorer tools with seamless integrations with major EVM-supporting wallets, including MetaMask.
- Optimized Tokenomics:
a) Staking Rewards: Users can earn around 50% APY to start to help bootstrap network security.
b) Deflationary Gas Mechanism: A portion of SHM tokens is burned with each transaction, creating long-term scarcity.
c) Ecosystem Reserve: 22.44% of the total supply is allocated for developer incentives, released in phases to ensure sustainable growth.
CoinW’s Comprehensive Support: Accelerating Shardeum’s Global Ascent
As the first exchange to launch SHM globally, CoinW played a pivotal role far beyond trading infrastructure. From brand amplification and user acquisition to ecosystem expansion, CoinW provided multidimensional support to help Shardeum stand out in the fiercely competitive Layer1 race.
In the early stage of launch, CoinW established a deep liquidity pool for SHM, ensuring seamless trading with zero slippage. Leveraging its vast social media presence, KOL network, and global partnerships, CoinW rapidly amplified Shardeum’s reach across key markets in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East—generating strong brand resonance and grassroots community momentum.
Alongside its trading and marketing efforts, CoinW Research has also delivered critical strategic insights to support Shardeum’s long-term growth. Guided by a “tech-driven, ecosystem-synergistic” philosophy, the institute evaluated the project through lenses of technological potential, real-world applications, and regulatory viability. Shardeum’s EVM compatibility, ultra-low gas fees, and dynamic sharding design not only solve the scalability-security-decentralization trilemma but also make it a compelling platform for global developers.
By offering deep liquidity, global exposure, technical evaluation, and ecosystem integration, CoinW not only facilitates Shardeum’s global expansion but also reaffirms its own role as a frontrunner in Layer1 infrastructure enablement.
CoinW × Shardeum—A Resonant Start to Ecosystem Synergy
The successful listing of SHM on May 8 solidified the strategic alignment between CoinW and Shardeum and accelerated the latter’s global rollout. As the launch partner, CoinW enabled Shardeum’s leap from tech stack to market presence, while also claiming a vital stake in the Layer1 ecosystem build-out.
Shardeum is more than a product of technical evolution—it embodies the global crypto community’s aspiration for digital sovereignty. With dynamic sharding as its spear and EVM compatibility as its shield, this Layer1 chain could reshape the blockchain narrative for emerging markets.
Looking ahead, CoinW will continue leveraging its liquidity depth, global brand assets, and strategic research capabilities to support Shardeum’s expansion into more real-world use cases—fueling its rise as a defining Layer1 project in emerging economies.
