Hubs are seeing record traffic and message propagation is sometimes delayed. Should have significantly improved performance in 24 hrs

Do you think the incentivisation of hubs will become critical for scaling?

No, if anything the network would perform a lot better if there were fewer hubs

Fewer, under the assumption that they’re higher performing and distributed appropriately geographically?

Out of the 650 hubs, I would guess less than 10% are actually used to retrieve data. If the other 90% disappeared, most of these issues would disappear. The more hubs you have , the harder is becomes to ensure they are all up to date.

Feels like a trade off around data availability in some regards. What do you think the correct approach will be? Some sort of hub ranking system where the hubs that become eventually consistent first (idk how you measure this tho) eventually get information first?

Yes that’s right. We have a basic version of it with peer scoring, but it’s not good enough yet.
