+# Divergence from Main Branch
+
+This branch (`perf/block-optimization`) introduces breaking changes to maximize performance in the `block/` package. It is **not wire-compatible** with the main branch.
+
+## 1. Combined Header+Data Blobs
+
+**Main**: Headers and data are submitted as separate blobs to separate DA namespaces (`HeaderNamespace`, `DataNamespace`). On retrieval, the DA retriever fetches from both namespaces, decodes headers and data independently, then matches them by block height.
+
+**This branch**: Headers and data are combined into a single blob using a custom binary encoding (`common.MarshalBlockBlob`/`UnmarshalBlockBlob`). Each blob contains the proto-encoded header, proto-encoded data, and the envelope signature, separated by length prefixes with a magic number prefix (`0x45564E44`). Only the `HeaderNamespace` is used.
+
+### Why
+- Eliminates matching overhead (no separate header/data pending maps)
+- Halves DA submission round trips (one blob per block instead of two)
+- Simplifies DA inclusion tracking (single check per block)
+- Removes the `DAHeaderEnvelope` protobuf wrapper and the separate `SignedData` protobuf wrapper
+
+## 2. Custom Binary Blob Encoding
+
+**Main**: DA blobs use protobuf encoding (`DAHeaderEnvelope` for headers, `SignedData` for data). Each involves allocating proto message structs, converting Go types to proto types, and calling `proto.Marshal`.
+
+**This branch**: The combined blob wrapper uses a custom binary format: `[magic 4B][header_len 4B][header_bytes][data_len 4B][data_bytes][sig_len 4B][sig_bytes]`. Individual header and data fields are still proto-encoded internally (hash computation requires it), but the envelope wrapper avoids all proto overhead.
+
+### Why
+- Zero allocation for the blob wrapper (direct length-prefixed binary)
+- No proto message pool management for the envelope
+- No `ToProto`/`FromProto` conversion for the DA envelope or signed data
+- Simpler and faster encode/decode path
+
+## 3. P2P Sync Removed
+
+**Main**: Full nodes sync from both P2P (via `go-header` `HeaderSyncService`/`DataSyncService`) and DA. The executor broadcasts produced blocks to P2P peers. P2P events include DA height hints for targeted DA retrieval. The syncer runs a P2P worker loop alongside the DA follower.
+
+**This branch**: All P2P sync is removed. Nodes sync exclusively from DA. No P2P broadcasting, no P2P stores, no P2P handler, no DA height hints.
+
+### Removed code
+- `syncing/p2p_handler.go` — entire file deleted
+- `syncing/syncer_mock.go` — P2P handler mock deleted
+- `common/expected_interfaces.go` — `HeaderP2PBroadcaster`/`DataP2PBroadcaster` types removed
+- P2P broadcasting in `executing/executor.go` removed
+- P2P worker loop in syncer removed
+- `SourceP2P` event source removed
+- `DaHeightHints` field removed from `DAHeightEvent`
+- `headerStore`/`dataStore` parameters removed from `NewSyncer` and component constructors
+- `headerSyncService`/`dataSyncService` parameters removed from aggregator component constructors
+- `DAHintAppender` interface removed from DA submitter
+- Separate `SubmitHeaders`/`SubmitData` replaced with single `SubmitBlocks`
+
+### Why
+- Removes network overhead from P2P gossip
+- Eliminates the complexity of two sync sources competing
+- DA is the single source of truth, reducing consistency issues
+- Removes libp2p dependency from the block package's hot path
+- Simplifies the syncer from 3 worker loops to 2 (process loop + pending worker)
+
+## 4. DA Submitter Simplified
+
+**Main**: `DASubmitterAPI` has two methods: `SubmitHeaders` and `SubmitData`, each with separate batching strategies, mutex locks, and retry loops.
+
+**This branch**: `DASubmitterAPI` has a single `SubmitBlocks` method that takes headers and data together, creates combined blobs, signs them, and submits to a single namespace. One batching strategy, one mutex, one retry loop.
+
+### Why
+- Halves the submission loop complexity
+- Eliminates the envelope cache (no more retry-signing concern)
+- Single retry loop instead of two
+- Combined blobs submitted atomically — no partial header-without-data states
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+- Existing DA data from main branch is **not readable** by this branch (different blob format)
+- This branch requires a fresh start or a migration tool
+- The `P2PSignedHeader` and `P2PData` types still exist in `types/` but are no longer used by the block package
+- External consumers of `NewSyncComponents` and `NewAggregatorWithCatchupComponents` must update their call sites
