Theme: Optimistic Provide

Description: The Provide process in the IPFS network is painfully slow, regularly in the order of tens of seconds and sometimes in the order of hundreds of seconds. Our new design decreases this time by an order of magnitude and as a first step we plan to ship Optimistic Provide in an experimental kubo release. We plan to roll this out firstly as an experimental release to stress-test it in the network and then in the main release. This work is being carried out together with the IPFS Stewards team. You can find more information and results in this Notion page: Optimistic Provide.
