Lighter's architecture delivers sub-200 ms latency and processes half-billion orders per day for under $50 k, a cost structure that undercuts both other L2s and many centralized exchanges. These metrics are core to its competitive positioning.
Hyperliquid built a purpose-made L1 to deliver sub-millisecond block times, high throughput, and global accessibility. By adopting the EVM, the team tapped into existing tooling while creating a tightly-coupled core that links order-books, perps, and spot markets. Layer-zero integration enables seamless asset bridging.
Hyperliquid is investigating multiple concurrent proposers to cut latency and further diminish MEV. Faster block times reduce the window for front-running, but they increase network overhead. The team believes hardware advances will keep the system scalable.
MegaETH's ecosystem focuses on consumer-facing DeFi applications that require ultra-low latency and high throughput, creating experiences impossible on other chains.
Latency and visual feedback are critical for voice interfaces to feel natural. Delays break immersion, while multimodal cues (like visual indicators) ensure users understand system state. Effective interruption handling and immediate feedback are essential for human-like interactions.
Voice AI interfaces are achieving human-like interaction quality, enabling natural conversations with software. However, challenges remain around latency, interruption handling, and multimodal feedback.
AI video production tools use clever UX patterns to enable rapid iteration despite the computational demands of high-quality output generation.
Balancing real-time feedback with full-generation latency requires clever UI design, such as blurred previews, to enable iterative refinement before final output.
