Public blockchains continue to struggle with scalability because improving throughput is not as simple as increasing block size or reducing block interval. Larger blocks increase validation and transmission cost, while shorter intervals raise the likelihood of propagation delays, forks, and stale blocks. These limits motivate sharding, where transaction processing is divided across multiple parallel shard groups. In this work, we present a configurable SimPy-based discrete-event simulator for evaluating sharded blockchain architectures under controlled workload and network assumptions. The simulator models mining, verification, inter-shard coordination, block dissemination, measured throughput, average block time, and communication overhead. Our simulator achieves 1.6M TPS at 256 shards under a local datacenter-like setup and 0.6M TPS in a global WAN setup, showing strong throughput gains from parallel execution. However, the gains are not unbounded: beyond a certain number of shards, coordination traffic, synchronization, and network overhead begin to dominate, leading to diminishing returns.
