Abstract
Systems and methods for improving reliability in blockchain networks using sharding are disclosed herein. An example method includes assigning a unique identifier to a user, applying a deterministic function, such as a consistent hashing algorithm, to the unique identifier to select a unique set of nodes that are assigned to a shard for the user, wherein the nodes are a subset of available nodes, receiving a request for blockchain data from the user, generating a response to the request using a consistent view of a blockchain obtained from the unique set of nodes, and transmitting the response to the request to the user.
