TLDR: Monero is ahead on scaling, we need to work out how to speed up wallet sync Friendly reminder: Project Tachyon is 5 people and claude code working on the wrong problem. Last year I wrote this article: monerochan.news/article/18 and we talked about it on this podcast: x.com/monerotopia/st… There was a follow up post comparing the batch verification time of the state of the art work that Monero's FCMP is based on: x.com/spirobel/statu… Nothing has changed since then. There are still no TPS benchmarks for Tachyon and there is zero credible evidence that they will do any better than the failed Project Mina. It also made outrageous claims that it can scale to infinity. Tachyon ran on this absurd "TPS don't matter anymore" narrative as well. Now they have pivoted to talking about quantum computers. The Monero community should become more outspoken about the fact that the CPU bound proof verification work is the bottleneck and not state contention like project tachyon wrongly assumes. FCMP is based on curve trees which is the current state of the art peer reviewed research with the best batch verification time. (as mentioned earlier: there are follow up papers that improve on this even further. There is clear path to widen the gap even more) Node level throughput is determined by the minimum required core count. If that is set to something reasonable, we have to start thinking about end user wallets not being able to catch up, as currently they have to scan all transactions, everyone is making, all the time. To solve this issue I started writing down some notes that were discussed in this MRL session: x.com/MoneroResearch…
