Optimum recently announced that mump2p is delivering 150ms average block propagation on Ethereum Hoodi testnet - 6x faster than Gossipsub's ~1 second baseline...
Blockchain architecture is currently constrained by the tradeoff between scalability and decentralization. Prioritizing scalability improves user experience and enables latency-sensitive applications but increases tail risk through concentrated failure points. Maximizing decentralization ensures strong uptime guarantees but adds UX friction. OptimumP2P el...
Optimum enables validators to send data faster and more efficiently, in turn raising the scalability of the blockchain they operate on. Back in June we released our first mump2p demo which showed...
Ever wonder why your transaction takes so long to confirm, even on a “fast” network? It turns out the culprit isn’t just block time or throughput, it’s how information spreads across the network...
In decentralized blockchain implementations, three properties are highly desirable: decentralization, security, and scalability. There is a widely held belief in the blockchain community—often referred to as the Blockchain Trilemma...
Blockchains power everything from simple payments to complex financial markets, from AI training to inferencing. As the use cases grow more demanding...
OptimumP2P is coming. Currently in private testnet with a group of leading Ethereum validators and node operators, OptimumP2P boosts the speed and efficiency of communicating data between nodes.
In the first part of this series, we explored how packet loss accumulates in block and fountain codes—even in simple network topologies such as daisy chains—and how the recoding capability of RLNC effectively mitigates this issue.
Sending data over shaky or delayed connections often means it gets lost or delayed. The old way to deal with this was simply to resend anything that didn’t make it (like the TCP protocol does). But this approach...
Blockchain technology has been heralded as the foundation of a new decentralized internet, now referred to as Web3. But as this "world computer" grows, it’s becoming increasingly clear that something fundamental is missing: a high-performance memory layer.
