Geo-Aware Leader Schedule
This study evaluates SIMD-0675, a geo-aware leader schedule for Solana. It reorders the stake-weighted random schedule so that consecutive leaders are geographically close, which cuts handoff latency. No validator’s number of leader windows changes. Two parameters are tuned: STAKE_FLOOR (σ), the stake fraction that sets each location’s compatibility radius, and RUN_LENGTH (γ), the size of the contiguous blocks of...
