Block Relay Networks

Block relay networks are specialized, high-speed communication channels designed to propagate blocks across a blockchain network faster than the standard gossip protocol. These networks use dedicated, well-connected nodes to broadcast new blocks to miners and validators with minimal delay.

By reducing propagation time, these networks help decrease the number of orphaned blocks and improve overall network efficiency. They are a critical piece of infrastructure for professional miners and traders who need to stay ahead of the curve in terms of block discovery and transaction inclusion.
