The experimental "X" architecture introduces sharding. However, sharding a TBSE-based state root is risky. Cross-shard transactions currently rely on a centralized notary pool (Phase 1). This reintroduces trust assumptions that the original TBSE was designed to eliminate.
I’ve been tracking the development of over the last few weeks. While the marketing materials push the "next-gen" narrative, the technical architecture tells a more interesting—and nuanced—story. tbse-x
💸 Fees: "Near zero." Average tx fee = $0.004. Actually impressive. But the mempool is only 20% full. Real stress test hasn't happened. The experimental "X" architecture introduces sharding
🐛 The Bug: The consensus engine stalls when block height hits an odd number (Bug #TBSE-404). Devs patched it 6 hours ago, but the patch introduces a memory leak. This reintroduces trust assumptions that the original TBSE
Supposedly a Layer-1 fork that uses "Proof of History" mixed with TBSE's standard consensus. Basically, Solana meets TBSE.
📉 Verdict: TBSE-X is an experimental fork (the X stands for eXperimental, not 10x). Don't bridge mainnet assets to it yet.
Has anyone else run a node on this? What latency are you seeing?
