You reason about the concrete values you discover.

You discuss possible improvements or necessary adjustments over time due to external developments such as better hardware.

​

Why does it matter?

Solana is a shared protocol and different implementers need to agree on parameters.

Week 1: Overview and Strategy.

Week 2-12: Execution and weekly calls.

What are prerequisites?
