NEP – Ethereum JSON-RPC transform that beats ZSTD by 12%

NEP is a specialized JSON-RPC compression transform for Ethereum nodes that achieves 12% better compression than ZSTD by exploiting the structural patterns of blockchain data. It targets Ethereum developers and infrastructure operators seeking to reduce bandwidth and storage costs for RPC traffic. The project is interesting because it demonstrates domain-specific compression can outperform general-purpose algorithms in blockchain contexts.
