In the context of cryptocurrency, a shard refers to a segment of a blockchain network in a sharding architecture. Sharding is a scalability solution that splits the network into multiple smaller partitions, or shards, each capable of processing transactions independently. This allows for parallel processing and increased overall network throughput, addressing the scalability challenges faced by traditional blockchains.
