Battle of the Codes RLNC vs Reed Solomon & Fountain Codes Sending data over unstable networks is not easy. The old solution is simple resend lost data. But this creates congestion, slows performance, and wastes bandwidth Instead of resending, modern systems use erasure codes. Data is : > Split into pieces > Encoded with extra fragments > Sent across the network The receiver only needs some of the pieces to recover the data 1). Reed Solomon (RS) Reliable, but rigid and not flexible for dynamic networks. 2). Fountain Codes More flexible, but still depends on the original source. 3). RLNC More advanced. Data is randomly encoded, and every node can re encode it. RLNC is better because it introduces recoding. Nodes don’t just forward data, they create new encoded packets along the way. This means : > Less data loss > Fewer retransmissions > Better efficiency RS and Fountain codes work, but they don’t scale well in decentralized networks. RLNC is built for dynamic systems like Web3 and that’s what makes it stand out. gMum🩶 @get_optimum
