When finality is ~150 ms, the chain is no longer the bottleneck.
Our entire stack must become real-time.
This is a great thread for builders getting ready for the Supernova era.
During the recent “good markets” I used the time to go deep into Rust and the @MultiversX architecture, and I’m now close to finishing the first private Rust light client that will power a large part of @XoxnoNetwork infrastructure.
Exploring the P2P layer in detail revealed something important. MultiversX internally reaches consensus in roughly 150 to 250 milliseconds even though block time remains at 6 seconds. With Supernova and several smart optimizations from @AdrianDobrita team, reaching block times around 200 milliseconds is a realistic target especially with a bit of magic and hopefully first version of parallel processing of transactions
Once the light client is ready, I will start exposing a new suite of APIs:
• Real time shard gas station with min, max and average gasPrice and PPU
• Direct transaction broadcast to P2P over WebSocket, allowing dApps to land transactions in the same 600 millisecond block and later in 200 millisecond blocks
• High throughput relay service that signs and injects transactions into P2P instantly while streaming back transaction hashes
• Real time account notifications from P2P including pending status, balance changes, NFT updates and latest nonce
If we want to fully leverage Supernova level speed, dApps need to shift to real time communication instead of traditional API calls. We are aiming for millisecond latency between a user pressing send and the moment the transaction reaches the mempool, and we want dApps to follow gasPrice swings per block so they can auto adjust and consistently land transactions in the same block.
