📖 Stanford Blockchain Review, Vol. 7 No. 7 #67 - "The Path to 10ms Block Times" by @0xSami_M at @megaeth reveals how MegaETH achieves 10ms block times, optimized for real-time performance at 100k TPS Performance-first, unapologetically. review.stanfordblockchain.xyz/p/66-megaeth-b…
Along with @rjdrost, @NamikMuduroglu, we spent the past two months writing this position paper megaeth.systems/revisitworldco… with comments and feedbacks from @VitalikButerin, @sreeramkannan, @post_polar_, @Austin_Federa, and @megamafia. Personal computers empower individuals to process an almost-infinite amount of information. The Internet empowers individuals to cast their thoughts throughout almost the entire world. However, these technologies have not fundamentally changed how individuals form societies––a process that depends on trust, delegation, and sometimes, exploitation. What we need is a steward that faithfully enforces every invariant in interpersonal and intermachine coordination––a World Computer that, by design, is correct, open, responsive, and capacious. With recent advancements in theory and engineering of distributed systems, a World Computer whose efficiency approaches the physical limit is now within our reach. The World Computer is not just a vision; it is a call to action. It is time to let loose your imagination and build!
Our commitment goes beyond just liquidity and adaptive staking – we’re launching a payment product featuring flexible savings and a Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) option, powered by @megaeth. Why hold STONE, SBTC, or STONEBTC? With our adaptive, yield-bearing assets, you’re not just holding tokens; you are part of a network driving new capital efficiencies, secure liquidity, and real adoption across DeFi ecosystems and beyond.
We aim to provide sub 10ms block times (preconf latency) at launch and plan to reduce to <1ms eventually. Note that e2e latency = block time + network propagation delay. For regular users, the perception of e2e latency will be dominated by their network propagation delay to the sequencer(s) - i.e. 100-200 ms in the worst case. However, for power users willing to colocate their servers w/ our sequencers, e2e latencies will be close to 1ms, since the network latency will be negligible. Enabling ultra-low latency for power users is critical to building rich dapps with web2-like experiences. e.g. co-located market makers can provide liquidity much more efficiently.
seems like Yang and co. might've confused how a full node snap-sync works. A full node takes in the current state + block tx data and spits out the resulting state. This process allows a full node to verify state transition because you perform the computation yourself instead of trusting your peer. Snap sync is just a shortcut to "seed" the current state from a trusted peer, but any subsequent state changes are applied by re-executing transactions. Based on that, I don't think you can call Megaeth's "full node", a full node, if it's blindly applying streamed state diff from the sequencer. Yes, it does address one of the use cases of full node (which is to get access to the latest blockchain state), but i think this is much more akin to building database read replicas than what people would typically call full node (in the context of blonkchain)
