🚀 Big news, the new year came early for @cometbft! CometBFT v1.0.0-alpha.1 is here, marking a huge milestone in the Interchain Stack's journey. Packed with thrilling new features and enhancements, we can't wait to hear what the community thinks! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gaCVaN2M As CometBFT steps into its v1 era, expect a refined versioning approach. However, keep in mind that this alpha release might include Go API-breaking changes until we finalize the candidate release. But now let's unveil a few features this shiny new version brings! 🎆 🌐 Bandwidth Efficiency Boost in CometBFT v1.0.0-alpha.1! Validators now proactively share block parts they already have, significantly reducing network amplification and bandwidth usage. This update marks a step towards more efficient network operations. 💡 Opt-in Nop mempool! An experimental feature that allows . This lets operators fine-tune bandwidth usage related to transaction gossip, pushing efficiency even further. 🛠️ Introducing the 'nop' mempool option for CometBFT! This experimental feature now enables application developers to build their transaction dissemination mechanism. This innovation offers greater flexibility and customization in handling transactions. 📡 The v1 Alpha releases the Data Companion API! These new gRPC APIs empower external applications to manage data pruning, facilitating efficient data transfer and custom indexing solutions, thus reducing node storage needs. ⚙️ Protobuf & Internalization Update: We've meticulously versioned Protobuf definitions & RPC for stable APIs. Also, moving numerous Go packages to 'internal' accelerates development, enabling faster rollout of significant updates without impacting user codebases. 🌊 Clearly, there's much more than we can fit in a tweet thread.

In #Cosmos, there's no shortage of exciting developments and today we want to talk about optimistic block execution, a feature that could revolutionize app chains and bring them to new levels of performance 📈 Let's break down this groundbreaking process without diving deep into tech jargon: ABCI++ serves as the bridge between the consensus engine and the application. As of now, the application steps in only once during the consensus - after a block is solidified. This limitation held back several features, especially those enhancing scalability and performance. Here's the current scenario: 1. Comet finalizes a block. 2. The application processes that block. 3. Control is handed back to CometBFT. Enter optimistic execution: it allows steps 1 and 2 to run concurrently. This drastically boosts the speed of block finalization. A real-world example? @SeiNetwork now achieves block times of a mere 300ms. Future decentralized applications must be swift. It's why numerous contributors and the CometBFT team dedicated two years to ABCI++. The outcome? Sub-second block times! IBC transactions will also benefit, boosting the Cosmos ecosystem's speed and fluidity. What is your opinion on optimistic block execution? We'd love to hear your perspective! Also, if you're interested in discovering more about upcoming features, make sure to follow us for the latest updates.
