Message Compression

• LZ4 Compression: Automatic compression for messages >100 bytes
• 30-70% bandwidth savings on typical text messages
• Smart compression: Skips already-compressed data

Battery Optimization

• Adaptive Power Modes: Automatically adjusts based on battery level
  • Performance mode: Full features when charging or >60% battery
  • Balanced mode: Default operation (30-60% battery)
  • Power saver: Reduced scanning when <30% battery
  • Ultra-low power: Emergency mode when <10% battery
• Background efficiency: Automatic power saving when app backgrounded
• Configurable scanning: Duty cycle adapts to battery state

Network Efficiency

• Optimized Bloom filters: Faster duplicate detection with less memory
• Message aggregation: Batches small messages to reduce transmissions
• Adaptive connection limits: Adjusts peer connections based on power mode
