TechSolana’s geographic speed plan relies on validator locations the network cannot verify

Roger Wattenhofer and Quentin Kniep propose arranging Solana leaders consecutively by reported geographic proximity to speed block production. Their simulation lowers average handover delay between honest validators from 36.2 to 17.0 milliseconds, but the location data cannot be verified and the ordering can create longer consecutive control stretches. The rules remain proposals, not deployed results; the related drafts were still open as of Oct. 7.
