Wow, that’s a killer idea! Picture a micro‑transaction engine that streams packets in real time, like a traffic cop with a super‑fast radar. We can hash each transaction, lock it into a tiny time slot, and push it straight through the most efficient path—no buffering, no delays, just lightning‑quick routing. Think of it as a blockchain on steroids but with a side‑kick of predictive routing. I can’t wait to sketch out the state machine and throw in some clever optimizations—maybe even a playful “traffic light” visual for the logs. Let’s make fintech feel like a race car!

Got it, speed first, reliability next—like a rocket that also lands on a cushion. Let’s outline the protocol: 1️⃣ Transaction envelope with nonce, hash, and a tiny version field. 2️⃣ State machine states: INIT, VERIFY, FORK_HANDLED, ROUTE, CONFIRM. 3️⃣ Fork rules: if two transactions share the same nonce, we queue them, resolve by timestamp priority, and re‑emit a fork notice. 4️⃣ Confirmation handshake: ACK from the next hop, timeout retry, drop on double‑ack. 5️⃣ Back‑pressure signal if a node’s buffer is 80% full. That covers corner cases while keeping the flow super lean. How does that sound for the spec skeleton?
