• Implemented custom network protocol for blockchain communication
• Built multi-threaded message handler for rapid flooding/gossip pattern messages
• Developed cryptographic verification system to validate blocks from network peers
• Created blockchain reconstruction logic to maintain consistency with network
• Implemented fault tolerance for handling bad requests from other network members
