Optimum says its mump2p protocol speeds Ethereum block delivery
Optimum claims its mump2p protocol can move Ethereum blocks up to 3.5 times faster by applying network coding, and reports that validators have begun using the service on mainnet.
What Optimum claims
According to crypto.news, Optimum puts the speed gain for delivering Ethereum blocks at up to 3.5 times and attributes that improvement to network coding.
The figure is Optimum's own account and has been reported by a single outlet, so it has not been established as an independent result.
Validator uptake on mainnet
Optimum says validators have started adopting the service on Ethereum's mainnet. The report does not specify how widely the service is being used.
Open questions
- How many validators are now using the mump2p service on mainnet?
- Has the 3.5-times speed figure been measured independently?
