We are looking for extremely technical writers here at @doublezero –– those who understand low level networking and ideally low level blockchain, but we'll settle for one or the other.
Please DM work samples to @eden_ or myself - must include samples, no agencies.
System response is meaningful - but that’s “intrinsic latency” meaning the delay internal to the system. E.g. from the moment you get a tx to the leader how long until it’s confirmed by the network or sequencer?
“Extrinsic latency” is about how long it takes data to get to the leader — on average — which is extremely importation. A single sequence will always have bad extrinsic latency because it only exists at one point on earth
A perfectly evenly districted POS network (population weighted) is the best you can do on a single block producer for extrinsic latency
Multiple concurrent leaders can shorten this even more.
It was pretty surreal to shift from being part of the team that planned and ran @SolanaConf for four years to presenting the mission and vision of @doublezero.
Abundance is the superpower of capitalism – and for digital systems that abundance begins at the physical networking layer.
I’ve been incredibly impressed with the success of @anza_xyz. When they spun out of Solana Labs it wasn’t clear if anything would change. But two years later I think it’s fair to say that separation has given them room to refocus on what matters and pushing Agave to extreme levels of performance.
At the same time they’ve attracted top tier new hires, spun up an expert research arm, and are shipping faster.
