    already mentioned like you know how Facebook handles like billions of users every every day like they they they don't run on a single machine they have they have a very shorted system that runs on a cluster of of many machines the idea is that you you divide the the state of the network into into many shards so that um no single machine actually tracks all The Shard or the entire state of the network and then like logically each Shard is its own blockchain so basically instead of

    having one block chain now you suddenly have like let's say 100 blockchains um and then your serut is basically 100 x in in the ideal case and and and and coming back to the original analogy that I talk about um when we started so now instead of like those 1,000 machines all do the same computation they're divided into let's say 10 different groups and all the machines within those groups do the same computation but between different groups they do different computation so you that's way
