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:
🔄 L1 cache: 0.5 ns
🔄 RAM: 100 ns
🔄 SSD read: 100 µs
🔄 Disk seek: 10 ms
Within a data center in a single availability zone:
↔️ 5ms
Global Round-Trip-Time from the West coast:
↔️ NY: 70 ms
↔️ London: 160 ms
↔️ Tokyo: 120 ms
↔️ Singapore: 200 ms
↔️ Dubai: 280 ms
💡 In a subsecond chain world, every ms counts. Speed of light is your new bottleneck. Optimize accordingly.
