A new self-optimizing network approach cuts delays nearly in half, bringing real-time IoT applications closer to reality. Why Blockchain Has Trouble Keeping UpDespite its security benefits, current blockchain systems often struggle to meet the speed demands of real-world IoT applications. Many connected devices must respond almost instantly, but blockchain networks can introduce delays that make this difficult. Testing Shows Major Speed ImprovementsIn simulations involving a 50-node IoT network, Dual Perigee reduced block-related delays by 48.54% compared to the standard method used by the Ethereum blockchain. By reducing the time needed to confirm and distribute blockchain data, systems become fast enough for applications where timing is critical.
