Worked on the iotaledger/wasp repository to address a core issue in distributed request propagation within the network’s mempool. Focused on backend development using Go, the work involved refining the forwarding logic to ensure only valid, newly accepted requests are propagated across the distributed sync mechanism. By modifying the addOffledger function to return a boolean success flag and gating propagation based on this result, the update prevented rejected or duplicate requests from being forwarded. This change reduced unnecessary network traffic, improved system throughput, and enhanced distributed consensus reliability, demonstrating a strong grasp of distributed systems and robust backend engineering practices.
