Very cool ethresearch proposal: Faster block/blob propagation in Ethereum

"We propose a change on the way we broadcast and transfer blocks and blobs in the P2P network, by using random linear network coding. We show that we can theoretically distribute the block consuming 5% of the bandwidth and with 57% of the number of network hops (thus half the latency per message) of the time it takes on the current gossipsub implementation."

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Uhh I didn't understand fully but random linear on gossipsub sounds a bit like Avalanche's snowball implementation! They also had achieved lower latency where all other parameters remained the same.

Interesting 🤔 
til RLNC, there's quite a bit of math in the later half of the post that went over my head.

Prioritizing high stake nodes doesn’t seem to help decentralization much tho
