Time Sensitive Networks

If anyone has comments/thoughts about how the future/next internet infrastructure will resolve the issue of ‘time-synchronization’ I’d be interested in hearing them.

According to Substrate info, node’s system clock isn’t important.

you can have set any time you want on your PC.

What issue needs to be resolved?

Edit: how “future” internet infra will resolve the issue of time sync:

  • I think it’s already resolved for centralized services (atomic clocks by government and large clouds)
  • For decentralized, oracles report accurate time, algo produces reliable reports, cross-chain queries obtain accurate time. The same way it works for random numbers and price feed today.
