Description
Note: This needs more input from project
Use real world testing, theoretical analysis and simulation to determine and improve Nomos’s scaling properties. Find the limits of Nomos’s capabilities and measure them in different scenarios.
We will measure the real world speeds and latency of Nomos’ mixnet, and what use cases it is therefore able to support.
Background
Narratives
We will support the Conduit of Expertise narrative directly by providing valuable insights to Nomos and the ability to theorise, reason about, test, measure and improve the performance, stability and scalability of Nomos.
These efforts will contribute in these ways to the Conduit of Expertise narrative:
- Help Nomos ship a more scalable mixnet, unlocking capabilities across IFT’s teams and ecosystem and allowing for more use cases to be supported and understood. This will also help spur on outside adoption and contributions.
- Improve the RFC culture by allowing for faster and easier development of RFCs with the aid of rapidly accelerated insights into how an RFC in development will perform as it’s being expanded and going through the draft process.
- Allow easier post-mortem analysis of the success or relative performance of a given RFC
