Previously it was shown that there are infinite families of binary storage codes on coset graphs with rate converging to 3/4. Here we show that codes on such graphs can attain rate asymptotically approaching 1. Equivalently, this question can be phrased as a version of hat-guessing games on graphs (e.g., Cameron et al., in: Electron J Combin 23(1):48, 2016). In this language, we construct triangle-free graphs with success probability of the players approaching one as the number of vertices tends to infinity.
