Network delays refer to the time lag experienced when data or transactions travel across a digital network. These latencies represent the cumulative time taken for information to be transmitted, processed, and confirmed across a blockchain or distributed network, impacting the speed and responsiveness of decentralized applications. Factors such as network congestion, block production times, and geographical distance between nodes contribute to these delays. Excessive network delays can degrade user experience, affect transaction finality, and hinder the scalability of blockchain systems.
Context
Network delays are a constant challenge for blockchain platforms, particularly during periods of high transaction volume, affecting user experience and operational efficiency. The key discussion revolves around various scaling solutions, such as Layer 2 protocols and sharding, designed to mitigate these delays and increase network throughput. Future developments will focus on further optimizing consensus mechanisms and network infrastructure to reduce latency and support a larger volume of instantaneous transactions.
Mysticeti-C, a new DAG-BFT, achieves the theoretical three-round latency lower bound by eliminating block certification, unifying high throughput with instant finality.
