Every builder will need to upskill to prepare for the new world of fast, high-throughput chains. If blocks are streaming out at ~250ms, here's your cheat sheet for latency:
đ L1 cache: 0.5 ns
đ RAM: 100 ns
đ SSD read: 100 ”s
đ Disk seek: 10 ms
Within a data center in a single availability zone:
âïž 5ms
Global Round-Trip-Time from the West coast:
âïž NY: 70 ms
âïž London: 160 ms
âïž Tokyo: 120 ms
âïž Singapore: 200 ms
âïž Dubai: 280 ms
đĄ In a subsecond chain world, every ms counts. Speed of light is your new bottleneck. Optimize accordingly.
