1GB Per Minute: Challenging Blockchain Scalability with Proof of Sorting Race (PoSSR)

The Reality Behind the Code

Most developers write code from comfortable office chairs. My reality is different. I am 26 years old. I currently work as a kitchen helper, often enduring 13-hour shifts, 3 to 5 times a week. Between the heat of the kitchen and the physical exhaustion that often leads to insomnia and a racing heart at night, I have remained obsessed with one goal: making blockchain faster.

I have followed the crypto market for years and noticed a persistent problem: even "high-speed" networks often leave users waiting for minutes during congestion. For a global infrastructure, this is unacceptable.


The Vision: Route-n-Root (RnR)

I am developing Route-n-Root (RnR), a Layer 1 project designed for massive data availability. The target is ambitious: 1 GB blocks every 60 seconds.

This capacity is built to support:

  • Massive Token Ecosystems: Handling thousands of assets without network choking.
  • High-Frequency Smart Contracts: Enabling complex logic that requires heavy data throughput.
  • True Scalability: Moving beyond the "bottleneck" of current mainstream chains.

The Innovation: Proof of Sorting Race (PoSSR)

The engine behind this speed is a consensus mechanism I conceived called Proof of Sorting Race (PoSSR). Unlike Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, PoSSR focuses on computational efficiency through a competitive sorting process. Sorting is one of the most fundamental operations in computing; by making nodes "race" to sort the mempool, we achieve high-speed agreement.

The Mathematics of Throughput:
If we process a 1 GB block every 60 seconds with an average transaction size of 500 bytes, the theoretical performance is:

$$TPS = \frac{1,024,000,000 \text{ bytes}}{500 \text{ bytes} \times 60 \text{ seconds}} \approx 34,133 \text{ TPS}$$


A Note on Attribution & Originality

I want to be entirely transparent with the community. My expertise lies in system architecture and the original conceptualization of the Sorting Race for blockchain consensus.

I do not claim to be a master coder; I am an architect with a vision. To bring this project to life, I have utilized generative AI to assist in writing this article and implementing the technical codebase found on my GitHub. While the "hands" that typed the code were assisted by AI, the "brain" and the original logic behind using sorting as a competitive race are entirely my own.

Why I am Doing This

I am building this because I want to change the industry and improve my life. I believe the world recognizes results, not just processes. I am looking for developers and critics to examine my work, challenge my logic, and help turn this 1GB/minute vision into a reality.

From the kitchen to the blockchain—let's see how fast we can go.
