#Conflux is research-driven.
Most people measure blockchains by TPS.
But the real bottleneck can begin before consensus: network propagation.
MERCURY was published at IEEE INFOCOM, one of the world’s premier academic conferences in computer networking. 🏆
Think of MERCURY as Google Maps for blockchain transactions.
Instead of blindly passing messages from node to node through traditional “gossip” broadcasting, it finds faster routes across the network using virtual coordinates and an “early outburst” strategy. 🗺️
Integrated into #Conflux, MERCURY reduced transaction propagation latency by over 50%, with less than 5% additional bandwidth overhead.
Meaning: Almost the same fuel,Half the delivery time.
Real scaling is not only about producing blocks faster.
It is about making information travel faster.

HKU Business School says the technical details are essentially ready and is actively exploring Bitcoin payments for tuition and donations.
Annual tuition is HK$198K–218K—roughly 0.25 BTC when the plan was first discussed.
From Cyprus to Switzerland, universities have experimented with Bitcoin before.
But when one of Asia’s leading universities begins connecting Crypto to its real financial system, Crypto is entering the ivory tower. 🏛️

@elonmusk Musk should explore the potential of blockchain systems, develop new global financial infrastructure, completely overturn the current bloated and inefficient financial system, and create a new generation of global production relations.@David6LIANG8@JialeZhou6
