RT Jason Hughes (@wk057)It's not the "faster block propagation" part that's the issue. I'm all for faster block propagation!The issue is that the current method for getting there, compact blocks, is being used as a centralization tool. The FUD of "We must all run the same policies otherwise blocks won't propagate! 😱"You clearly get the best compact block reconstruction results when your relay/mempool policies match that of miners.The problem with that is the dynamic of who runs the network gets flipped. It' ...

RT Anza (@anza_xyz)1/ Solana validators: Agave v2.3.8+ adds XDP to accelerate Turbine block propagation. XDP bypasses parts of the Linux networking stack to cut copies and context switches. This prepares validators for 100M CU blocks and advances IBRL 🧵 https://t.co/ygVjb507aV ...

RT Brian (@0xbrw)1/ Rotor is Solana’s new block propagation method in the Alpenglow upgrade. It is a major improvement in how blocks move across the network. Rotor delivers data faster and more uniformly than Ethereum’s peer to peer gossip 🧵 https://t.co/ozEsttskAi ...
