Obtaining block proposals from a leader to the rest of the network is a challenging problem in high-performance distributed consensus environments. Block Propogation Engines are specialized message delivery protocols used within Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus mechanisms to send block proposals from leaders to participating validators. Naively, there are two approaches: These approaches present major scalability bottlenecks. We have to design innovative and efficient block propogation techniques to power high-throughput systems. In this document and the following discussions in [rcnyc2], we will focus on discussions about the Guiding Topics and Questions and popular mechanisms. The primary design requirements for a block propagation system under MonadBFT's consensus mechanism: Monad RaptorCast achieves these design requirements through erasure coding mechanisms, an efficient message and chunk distribution model, and a strong fault tolerance guarantee. Within erasure encoding, the le
