[PREVIEW] commonware-constantinople * 1MB blocks * ~290ms block time * ~370ms finalization latency * 50 uniform globally distributed validators (1Gbps baseline/symmetric + 2 vCPU/4GB RAM) TPS maxxing (with decent transaction latency) soon™️

Over the last ~2 weeks, we began integrating naïve erasure coding into simplex (n>=5f+1). Today, we reached 80% of the projected optimal performance of this construction (with most remaining inefficiency attributable to slow encoding/decoding):

Big thanks to @vex_0x and @cronokirby for their work (so far) on this research 🙏
