Does threshold simplex scale? @commonwarexyz's Alto (our continuous benchmarking blockchain) deployed on 500 globally distributed validators now runs at: * 16% avg. CPU (c8g.2xlarge) * 230ms block time (7% slower than 50) * 350ms p75 finalization latency (9% slower than 50)

Almost all time (outside of waiting for the network) is spent in batched signature verification, threshold signature recovery, and sending messages to peers (fortunately, all parallelized):

Following our v1 (wire/storage-format stable) release in the coming days, we'll shift our focus to (finally) getting commonware-constantinople out (think of it like Alto but with transaction data):
