ChainCatcher news, according to official news, Ethereum interoperability protocol Omni Network announced the launch of Streams function to provide a faster and more flexible way of messaging. With Streams, developers can now choose to send their XMsgs in two different modes: fast mode and finalization mode.
Among them, the fast mode can achieve near-instant delivery of messages. Once the source rollup issues a sequencer confirmation for a given transaction, the fast mode transaction will be sent to the target network, which is suitable for low-value transactions that need to be delivered instantly; while the finalization mode is suitable for high-value transactions that require higher security. The finalization mode ensures that the message is delivered after the rollup publishes its call data to L1 and is finalized within two Ethereum beacon chain epochs (about 12 minutes). This mode provides additional guarantees and is suitable for large transactions.
