Сообщение ChainCatcher, NEAR официально объявила о следующем крупном обновлении протокола SPICE (разделение консенсуса и исполнения), что является ключевым шагом к Nightshade 3. После завершения обновления время блока NEAR сократится с текущих 600 миллисекунд до 200 миллисекунд, что обеспечит примерно тройное увеличение скорости, приближаясь к предельной скорости, разрешенной физическими условиями. Основная идея SPICE заключается в декомпозиции слоя консенсуса и слоя исполнения, что позволяет валидаторам завершать консенсус блока, не дожидаясь выполнения транзакций, тем самым снижая задержку и поддерживая более сложные и длительные транзакции.NEAR заявляет, что это обновление станет крупнейшей трансформацией базовой архитектуры с момента внедрения безстатусной валидации (Stateless Validation) в 2024 году. После обновления опыт транзакций в приложениях, таких как NEAR Intents и near.com, будет значительно улучшен. Генеральный директор Defuse Labs Алекс Шевченко заявил, что ожидаемое время окончательного подтверждения NEAR может снизиться до примерно 0,4 секунды, что быстрее стандартного времени Visa около 3 секунд, обеспечивая опыт платежей, близкий к "завершению за мгновение ока".NEAR также отметила, что более быстрое время блока критически важно для экономики AI Agent, так как это поддерживает высокоскоростные платежи и сложные транзакции между агентами, а также позволяет выполнять более длительные задачи через несколько блоков. Кроме того, SPICE также проложит путь к Nightshade 3 и заложит основу для реализации атомарного исполнения между фрагментами в будущем. Команда разработчиков NEAR утверждает, что это поможет решить проблемы разработки и потенциальные уязвимости, возникающие в асинхронной среде, улучшая масштабируемость и безопасность сети.
