Mars Finance reports that Zakura, a node implementation for Zcash, has announced an experimental network layer, P2Pv2, to replace the legacy protocol inherited from Bitcoin. The layer combines high-throughput networking, resource controls, and a property-tested consensus engine, while allowing developers to add services without permission. Zakura says that 50,000 transactions per second would require each full node to continuously receive about 100MB/s of block data, while NU7’s 25-second blocks can carry at most 2MB—a gap of more than 1,000 times between existing network throughput and that rate. Tachyon can shrink proofs after they enter a block, but the network still needs to propagate large numbers of individual transactions. P2Pv2 replaces a protocol stack dating back about a decade with protocols that can be independently optimized for latency, throughput, or resilience, and a single secure connection can carry multiple independent services. It uses its own transport layer.

Mars Finance reported on October 19 that TRON founder Justin Sun recently said in a conversation with Jin Ming that “Sunology” is not simply refined self-interest, but a methodology for choosing the path that maximizes benefits by combining the circumstances of the times with one’s personal circumstances. At its core, it is a form of game theory and evolutionary theory, aimed at helping ordinary young people get from zero to one. Justin Sun said that “Sunology” is characterized by its low learning curve, making it accessible to ordinary young people, but those with strong personal advantages who have already developed independent views in their fields do not necessarily need to follow it wholesale. Citing investment advice he gave in 2016 as an example, he said that at the time he advised young people not to get married or buy homes, and to invest in Nvidia and Tesla, believing that keeping pace with the changes of the times could lead to significant wealth growth. On the question of how to prevent “Sunology” from placing too much emphasis on personal interests and fostering social selfishness...
