Description

Right now, you need to send the whole state every time there's and update: sender.send(newState). It would be cool to have a diffing layer that sends a diff against the latest state acked by the receiver.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the current state sync mechanism and implement a diffing layer that computes and transmits only the differences between the current state and the last acknowledged state.
