Sharding has been a highly expected solution for the blockchain scalability problem. But with computation power of honest miners (or stakes in PoS based systems) distributed in shards, it becomes easier for attackers to attack a single shard. In this research, we propose a new consensus algorithm, Greedy Observed Largest Forest (GOLF), aiming to consolidate distributed hash power in all shards to make attacking a single shard as hard as attacking the entire system.
