Optimum

Optimum is a data acceleration network that improves how data moves across decentralized blockchains. It reduces redundant transmission so blocks and critical payloads propagate faster and more consistently under real network conditions, without touching consensus or requiring protocol changes. Built on Random Linear Network Coding from MIT research led by co-founder and CEO Professor Muriel Médard, Optimum works with validators and node operators to cut bandwidth, speed block and blob delivery, and raise staking performance. The network is chain-agnostic and complementary to existing execution and consensus stacks.
