Insights from block propagation in the Ethereum P2P network

Duration: NaN:NaN:NaN

Speaker: Mikel Cortes (cortze)

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Libp2p’s Gossipsub protocol is one of the most critical pieces of the Ethereum protocol stack, disseminating blocks between nodes on time and ensuring that misbehaving nodes are rejected from the network. ProbeLab has studied the performance of Gossipsub in Ethereum’s P2P network, building tooling to monitor block propagations and spot abnormalities. We revealed ample space for optimisation in the protocol, which will help define the next steps in Ethereum's roadmap. Come and hear our findings!
