Question

Hey i have some serious questions about elrond which i

could not find an answer for on elrond.com:

1) WHEN and HOW does the network decide to open another shard. So when is the network checking if another shard is needed and what are the requirements that need to be fulfilled for the network to say "okay yep we need another shard"?

2) I think i have read that the adaptive part in adaptive state sharding means, that the elrond network can also MERGE two shards together, if there are to many. Is this correct? If yes, is there a minimum amount of shards and has this ever happened that two shards merged together?

3) Whenever the elrond team comes up with a new release, validators log onto their nodes and install the newest version. But what happens, if a validator doesn't update? Or what if some validators decide to purposefully not update? Or what happens if >50% of the validators don't update? Are there now two elrond networks? Or is there still only one elrond network, but the not-up-to-date validators do not compete in the validation process anymore? If it's the second answer: how does this work? Because if the Bitcoin community decides to propose an update and not every miner Updates with it, two seperate networks are born. How does elrond handle this?

Thanks. 🙏
