This enhancement focuses on optimizing how transactions that are not currently part of the main blockchain, known as orphan transactions, are managed in terms of their parental data requests from peers.

Traditionally, the method for dealing with these orphan transactions has been less efficient, often leading to issues related to transaction verification and blockchain integrity. The latest update proposes a more strategic approach by requesting the parent transactions of these orphans directly from the peers that have forwarded these transactions. This strategy is poised to significantly streamline the process, ensuring that the verification and addition of transactions to the blockchain are both smoother and more reliable.

This development reflects a broader effort within the cryptocurrency sphere to address scalability and efficiency challenges. By refining the mechanisms through which transactions are processed, the Bitcoin network aims to enhance its performance, reduce bottlenecks, and ultimately foster a more robust and secure ecosystem for its users.
