Risks

  • Low risk, high reward optimization
  • Compression effectiveness depends on message patterns

Deliverables

Message Compression

Owner: David Rusu

Feature: FURPS

Further compression of blocks in Blend Network through use of partial transaction hashes. For example, instead of providing full transaction hashes, we can give a prefix of the hash together with the block root hash. Prefix collisions can be disambiguated using the block root.

FURPS:

  • P4. Blend Network manageable on low bandwidth network links

Checklist:

  • Compression algorithm designed
  • Partial transaction hash mechanism implemented
  • Bandwidth reduction measured
