P2P Flashblocks Propagation

Flashblocks are all about speed – 200ms block confirmations that are streamed across the nodes in the network. Flashblocks is a streaming block construction layer for rollups that breaks each block into smaller pieces (called Flashblocks) and shares them at 200ms intervals, rather than waiting for the whole block to be built. The result is near-instant user confirmations, more efficient MEV and potentially even higher overall throughput. Before diving into the details of the peer-to-peer (P2P) propagation layer being developed for World Chain, let's take a deeper look at Flashblocks – and why they're so promising in the layer 2 ecosystem.
