It is a set of trade-offs you take on, each paid for in a specific coin — cross-shard queries get expensive, cross-shard transactions stop being free, adding a shard moves data, identity gets hard.

So far, so good. I use this machine for client work and it also gets to be my guinea pig for testing drawing tablet workflows. Both native Xlibre (via wacom) and Gaomon's proprietary driver work. I'm impressed with how snappy SonicDE is - first time using it today. Great work folks‼️
