Important Update for GRIDNET OS Community
🚀 Transition to QUIC Protocol for Mobile App Communications
Hello, GRIDNET OS community! We are thrilled to announce a significant upgrade in our journey towards providing a seamless and cutting-edge user experience. Starting tomorrow, our team will begin an extensive project to refactor the entire mobile app to utilize the QUIC protocol for all its communications.
Why QUIC?
QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is the communication protocol developed for the next generation of the internet. It's robust, secure, and significantly faster, especially in handling multiple data streams. This protocol is not only backed but also used by leading tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, ensuring that it's built on a foundation of reliability and efficiency.
What This Means for You
By transitioning from the current UDT-based communication system to QUIC, we aim to completely eliminate the connectivity issues that some of our users have experienced with the mobile app. This move will align the mobile app’s communication protocols with the high standards already established in our cross-node communications, which recently integrated QUIC successfully.
Benefits of Switching to QUIC:
1. Increased Reliability: QUIC reduces connection establishment time and improves security protocols, leading to fewer disruptions.
2. Enhanced Performance: Handles lost packets more efficiently without affecting the entire network communication, which is crucial for mobile platforms.
3. Future-Proof: As we adopt a protocol supported by major platforms, our system remains compatible and at the forefront of technological advancements.
A Call to Our Community
This update is a part of our commitment to ensure that GRIDNET OS remains at the technological forefront, offering the best to our community. The integration process might require a significant amount of resources, but we are fully prepared and excited to take on this challenge.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we undertake this massive improvement. Expect some initial updates and possibly brief periods of adjustments. However, we are confident that the end result will significantly enhance your experience with GRIDNET OS.
Stay tuned for more updates and detailed progress reports on our Discord channel in the live-development section. Join us as we make strides toward making our network even more robust and user-friendly.
