Recently, MultiVAC – the public blockchain known as ‘Sharding Killer’ received an interview from the top one Korean blockchain media CoinNess. Dr. Shawn Ying, the CTO of MultiVAC, explained MultiVAC’s Sharding plan in detail.

Sharding plan has become phenomenal in public blockchain’s scale-up research area. Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, also expressed his personal confidence in this scale-up plan’s feasibility – ‘Five years ago, almost no one was thinking about sharding; now, sharding designs are commonplace.’ Ethereum plans to launch its first Sharding version (ETH 2.0) in the first quarter, 2020. It’s anticipated that its testnet can reach a much higher TPS than the current one. However, the Sharding plan also faces various challenges like how to solve cross-Shards synchronization, how to avoid state explosion problems, etc. Proposals on the market are far from mature.

Dr. Shawn states, ‘Through the world’s first all-dimensional Sharding plan, MultiVAC achieves effective scale-up in computing, storage, and transmission, and can fully support large-scale application’s implementation in real business scenarios. Compared with other Sharding plans, MultiVAC’s is more efficient, flexible, and scalable. MultiVAC can be deemed as the ultimate Multi-Core world computer which can never be shut down’.

‘In cross-Shards collaboration, MultiVAC is the first to adopt asynchronous collaboration strategy. The asynchronous collaboration makes sure our Shards never block each other. The data miners exchange among Shards are merely block headers, which is very concise and fast. No performance bottleneck is detected yet. And the network is guaranteed to achieve efficient expansion.’

‘In addition, MultiVAC designs a separation mechanism for the data storage right and data control right. Storage nodes will only serve for storing data as the network’s infrastructure, and can not tamper with the data. While, miners nodes have the complete control right of the data, and can verify & update the data through the consensus mechanism. In virtue of this interactive storage strategy, MultiVAC successfully eliminates the possibility of state explosion problem’.

MultiVAC reaches 30784 TPS in the lab test environment. And as the number of nodes and Shards increases, so does the entire network performance. MultiVAC truly achieves the linear expansion of blockchain performance and has breakthroughs in Sharding technology. To pay tribute to the 11th anniversary of the birth of Bitcoin’s Whitepaper, MultiVAC launched a mining client beta test on 31st Oct and delivered a smooth and efficient mining experience for all the testers. It’s reported that MultiVAC testnet 3.0 will launch a brand-new mining client and support dynamic re-Sharding function soon.

World Chess and the Algorand Foundation propose leveling the playing field with a “chess passport”

Published

In a whitepaper published today, World Chess (LSE: CHSS) and the Algorand Foundation (ALGO) conceptualize a new blockchain-based system that would establish secure, private, and verifiable credentials for global sports organizations, including chess. Grandmaster Evgenij Miroshnichenko contributed to the paper alongside the Algorand Foundation and World Chess.

The move comes as interest in chess hits a new high, driven by popular television series on Netflix and the BBC, the 2024 awarding of the youngest-ever world chess champion, and the inclusion of chess for the first time in the Esports World Cup later this year.

If adopted, the system would allow chess players to independently manage their identity and credentials across all chess platforms and organizations with a single decentralized ID, and one login credential for everywhere they play. They could then easily “port” their identity, achievements, records of play, rankings, and rewards across online chess platforms, as well as seamlessly from the digital world to in-person games and tournaments. This provides them with a much easier way to prove their identity, no matter their status or documentation; it would also reduce tournament application times significantly. Chess organizations would then be able to welcome even more players to their competitions, including those who have built their chess career solely online, as well as players who have previously only competed in tournaments held by other organizations.

Among other benefits, the adoption of a “global chess passport” would make it much easier for organizers and chess clubs and federations alike to onboard and register players, both online and offline.

Another benefit of the proposed system is to safeguard fair play. As chess becomes increasingly integrated into e-sports and online competitions, the use of AI programs or player fraud (one player representing another) is an increasing concern. Being able to confirm player integrity (including whether they have been banned for cheating on any other platform) ensures credibility of chess contests and competitions. These verifiable credentials also preserve player privacy. They can be used to confirm player eligibility and relevant identity data without providing access to sensitive documentation, such as passports. Finally, identity verification also prevents fraud in tournament payouts. Phishing and other attempts to steal winnings are on the rise; this ensures only the rightful winner can access their prize funds.

“I think that chess needs its version of the global e-version of drivers license. It’s a global game, and using blockchain for the benefit of having one universal independently verifiable ID is something that both players and organizers will certainly benefit from,” says Ilya Merenzon, CEO of World Chess.

“This initiative is not just about chess; it’s about the future of fair play and verifiable achievement across all sports and esports,” said Bruno Martins, principal architect at the Algorand Foundation and co-author of the whitepaper. “Chess has a rich history of proving the usefulness of new technologies. In this case, World Chess is showing the integrity, privacy, and portability of records in any competitive arena is not only possible – it’s in the best interest of every player, everywhere.”

Statista estimates that the market for esports should reach $4.8 billion in 2025, with nearly 900 million players by 2029 (source), all of which could benefit from better cross-platform registration for online and in-person competitions.

Welcome to Blocks & Headlines, your daily op-ed–style briefing on the most significant developments in blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency industry. Today’s dispatch spotlights landmark privacy guidelines from the European Data Protection Board, Malaysia’s engagement with Binance’s founder to turbocharge digital finance, a groundbreaking blockchain reconstruction solution from MicroCloud Hologram, the impending launch of Nile Coin on Solana by Hyperscale Data’s subsidiary BitNile.com, and Trua’s AI-driven TruaBroker compliance platform. These stories underscore how regulation, infrastructure innovation, token launches, and compliance automation are shaping Web3’s next chapter.


1. EU’s Privacy Guardrails: EDPB Proposes Blockchain Data Access Guidelines

Source: Decrypt

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has published draft guidelines aimed at reconciling blockchain’s immutable architecture with GDPR’s privacy mandates. Key directives include avoiding on-chain storage of personal data when it conflicts with Data Protection by Design and by Default, conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing, and implementing organizational and technical measures to limit default data access to an “indefinite number of persons” Decrypt.

Op-Ed Insight:These guidelines mark a pivotal moment. By mandating privacy-by-design and off-chain anchoring of sensitive information, the EDPB effectively pressures projects to adopt hybrid architectures—where on-chain transparency coexists with off-chain confidentiality. While defenders of pure decentralization decry potential censorship, privacy advocates hail these guardrails as essential to prevent authoritarian misuse of immutable ledgers. Ultimately, projects that bake data protection into their smart contracts and storage layers will secure both regulatory compliance and user trust.


2. Malaysia Taps Binance’s CZ for a Blockchain Finance Overhaul

Source: Bitcoin News

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has initiated high-level discussions with Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance’s founder and former CEO, to position Malaysia as Southeast Asia’s preeminent hub for tokenization and digital finance. The dialogue focuses on leveraging blockchain to modernize capital markets, streamline cross-border payments, and foster regulatory sandboxes that attract global Web3 startups Beamstart.

Op-Ed Insight: Engaging CZ signals Malaysia’s ambition to leapfrog legacy financial architectures by importing Binance’s exchange expertise and compliance playbooks. Yet success hinges on crafting balanced regulations that encourage innovation without compromising investor protection. If Malaysia can marry CZ’s technical insights with proactive oversight—such as clear licensing pathways for decentralized exchanges—it could catalyze a shift in regional capital flows from traditional finance hubs like Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.

MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO) unveiled an innovative blockchain reconstruction solution that employs Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) technology to split and distribute private key shares across distributed nodes. Four core components—VSS-based key sharding, redundant node storage, dynamic participant verification, and incentive-driven reward/penalty mechanisms—enable rapid, trustless restoration of blockchain data integrity following attacks or node failures PR Newswire.

Op-Ed Insight: As DeFi and on-chain finance proliferate, uninterrupted availability and data consistency have become paramount. MicroCloud’s VSS approach transforms reconstruction from a centralized recovery process into a decentralized protocol, minimizing reliance on any single custodian. This paradigm could redefine disaster-recovery benchmarks: imagine an exploited smart contract whose state is instantly rebuilt through pre-sharded secrets, preserving transactional continuity without manual key escrow.


4. BitNile.com to Launch Nile Coin on Solana Blockchain
