So I was researching L1 which has instant finality and got to know that $SUI, $APTOS, $SEI & $AVAX have deterministic finality as well. But when you use the chain, they all feel quite slow compared to $S @SonicLabs. Would love @DrSonicScholz input on this! Tried digging in deeper and this is what I found: Finality (what the whitepapers quote) only measures when a block can't be reverted. But what you feel as a user (the "UX finality") includes: 🔹Transaction propagation to validators 🔹Mempool queue & ordering latency 🔹Consensus round-trip 🔹Execution + state update 🔹RPC / indexer broadcast back to front-end

$S @SonicLabs's “instant feel” comes from: 🔹No leader election → no proposer bottleneck. 🔹aBFT DAG → blocks finalized continuously, not in rounds. 🔹Pre-execution parallelism → state updates ready at broadcast. 🔹RPC design built into consensus → finalization signal returns instantly.
