Description
In an effort to save on network egress/ingress and potentially help with latency/throughput we will enable grpc compression for consensus.
Zstd was chosen over Gzip because it offers better compression and decompression speeds. Additionally it claims to achieve better compression ratios, allowing for more efficient use of bandwidth. The flexibility of Zstd in adjusting compression levels can also be explored further if needed.
