That’s not great, the standard for the popular high tps networks is RocksDB it seems.
Though Cosmos rolls their own levelDB and looks like it handles around 4K tps per chain on Tendermint. The hardware requirements for a Cosmos validator look the same as ours,
4 cores
8 GB Ram
1 TB Nvme
Seems like there is a lot of work needed to get Zenon to a competitive level.
@vilkris @CyberSpaghetti have a look at the article below.
GPT Summary
The article “MEV meets DAG: Exploring MEV in DAG-based blockchains” examines the potential for Miner Extractable Value (MEV) within blockchains that utilize Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based consensus protocols, specifically focusing on Narwhal and Bullshark.
The article suggests that while the Narwhal-Bullshark architecture introduces unique transaction ordering mechanisms, it does not inherently eliminate MEV. The potential for MEV depends on how transactions are ordered within the DAG and the specific consensus rules applied. For instance, if transactions are ordered by gas price, as implemented in some systems, it can impact MEV dynamics. Therefore, the design and implementation of the consensus protocol and transaction ordering mechanisms built on top of Narwhal and Bullshark play a crucial role in determining the extent of MEV in such systems.
In summary, the article indicates that MEV is possible within the Narwhal-Bullshark framework, and its presence and magnitude are influenced by the specific transaction ordering strategies employed.
