In recent days, the protocol laboratory has submitted the FIP-10 proposal, the WindowPoSt verification proposal under the FIP-10 chain, WindowPoSt does not need to be verified to be on the chain, and later verifiers under the chain can call DisputeWindowedPoSt for verification. If the verifier finds the wrong sector, he can get a certain percentage of rewards. V|jasonbody
The FIP-10 proposal submitted this time is also to reduce the gas consumption of the Filecoin network, while helping to reduce the pressure on the chain and improve the TPS performance of the network. It is estimated that this FIP-10 proposal can improve TPS performance by about 10%-20 %, this proposal provides a guarantee for the subsequent TPS upgrade.
Since the independent online launch, the high gas price has always been the focus and core of the community discussion, and the government has repeatedly introduced a plan to reduce the gas, but from the perspective of the effect, it is just a stopgap measure and not obvious. The main reason behind it is the popularity of Filecoin. High, the number of miners involved in mining is too large. The FIP-10 proposal will remove almost all the burden of checking the SubmitWindowedPost certificate from the chain (about 13% of the network bandwidth).
About the FIP-10 proposal
Under the FIP-10 proposal, WindowPoSt can be chained without verification, effectively reducing the pressure on miners. In the official proposal description, the network will optimistically accept and record the miners’ news, thus omitting the verification process. In the next cycle, third-party challengers can challenge the prover submitted by miners, that is, introduce the DisputeWindowedPoSt method. If the third-party challenger proves to be successful, it indicates that the proof submitted by the miner is faulty and the corresponding sector is also proved to be wrong. The miner needs to accept the penalty for loss of computing power and remove the corresponding sector. But the official also said that this is just an improvement plan, and there are many details that need to be optimized and implemented.
FIP-10 alternative
WindowPoSt exclusive channel: This is an on-chain message verification mechanism, so in essence, it does not save on-chain resources, but instead builds a dedicated channel to improve the utilization of on-chain resources.
WindowPoSt batch verification: Like ProveCommit batch processing proposed in FIP-8, WindowPoSt performs batch verification processing on WindowPoSt.
The FIP-10 proposal this time will have a major change from the network level, which will change the entire network environment. Therefore, it needs careful discussion and bold verification before going online to ensure that it will not cause network problems. hurt. However, we believe that with the collective efforts of the community and the official team, the problems faced by Filecoin will be gradually optimized in the future, and the prosperity of ecological applications will also accelerate.
