## Summary Consider approaches from https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.03331 ## Problem Definition Increase throughput for block producers ## Proposal - [ ] Research what can be applied and implemented from: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.03331 - [...

Switch to using klauspost/reedsolomon

## Summary Use leopard instead of infectious: https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-core/blob/cb696bbd70577c08cd8340ca8cecdff54c723388/pkg/consts/consts.go#L72-L75 Particularly, we should use and test the code with the LeoRSFF16Codec and block sizes of 4 mb and beyond (the latter is...

mempool: explore how tendermint mempool behaves with large Tx

1

One thing we haven't really thought about yet: LazyLedger (app) messages could potentially become quite large. I'm not sure if the tendermint mempool in its current form will able to...

Adopt Reaping from the mempool to max square size

2

## Summary Current `mempool.ReapMaxDataBytes` logic doesn't seem like the right approach for LL core as we need to reap as many Tx as shares would fit into the max square...

https://github.com/lazyledger/lazyledger-specs/blob/master/specs/data_structures.md#header Evidence is already part of Block.Data. Not sure about the implications for both hashes yet. - [ ] better understand the implications of this change and document in an...

## Summary Write concise and clear guidelines around the expected workflow. Basically contribution guidelines that also describe the expectations around: issues, ADRs and the relation to specs, PRs, reviews, chunking...

Ideally, we could easily swap out the concrete erasure coding library. e.g. it should be easy to switch to using a CMT instead.

Intermediate state roots

## Telemetry We've started the telemetry integration process as outlined in #901, and this issue gathers all the sub-issues and/or PRs related to the integration/implementation process. ## Base(d) Scaffolding for...

Consider using crypto/rand instead of math/rand

1

### Implementation ideas In some places we use math/rand and plan to seed it differently (see https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node/pull/850) to achieve some non-determinism. I think in all places which do not really...
