Achieving Instant Messenger Speeds in ADAMANT

Blockchain messengers inherently trade speed for security and anonymity, as message delivery is typically constrained by block generation frequency. ADAMANT has addressed this limitation, reducing message delivery times to between 0 and 2 seconds.

This performance gain was achieved through two primary optimizations. Initially, ADAMANT implemented client-node socket connections to facilitate peer-to-peer communication speeds. Subsequently, node configurations were updated to exchange transactions more rapidly, with a specific focus on the propagation of unconfirmed transactions across the network. As a result, users connected to different network nodes now receive messages almost instantly, bringing the communication experience in line with classic centralized instant messengers.
