Acceleration: mumP2P Early Results on Hoodi Testnet
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 a 4mb (average size of an Ethereum block) message being propagated across 36 globally distributed nodes in ~1113 milliseconds. This was significantly faster than the ~1577ms it took for Ethereum’s current method (Gossipsub) on the same demo network. A sizable performance gain, but we knew we could go...

Unlocking the Blockchain Trilemma
By Muriel Médard, Kishori Konwar, Nicolas NicolaouAbstractIn 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—that it is impossible to fully achieve all three simultaneously. As a result, much effort by protocol designers has focused on ensuring decentralization and security, while scalability has typically been lef...

OptimumP2P: Unlocking Next-Gen Performance for Tomorrow’s Killer Apps
Blockchains power everything from simple payments to complex financial markets, from AI training to inferencing. As the use cases grow more demanding, existing methods for sharing data between nodes haven’t been able to keep up—networks get congested and slow down under heavy load. Developers with ambitious, latency-sensitive, large-scale ideas actively avoid using blockchains despite their benefits because of these scalability constraints. OptimumP2P fixes this by coding data into random lin...

Introducing OptimumP2P: Implementation and Benefits
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. It leverages Random Linear Network Coding, a data coding technique our Co-founder Prof. Muriel Medard developed at MIT. RLNC is built specifically for achieving high throughput at scale on decentralized networks. To give a better understanding of how OptimumP2P works and its effects on blockchain ecos...
