Short and sweet explanation of Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), by its inventor, Muriel Medard, and the founder of Optimum. Blockchains, as well as newer alternative protocols, are replica-based distributed systems where each replica (aka validator) needs to have a

Network coding for network scaling. It just works.

Networking bottlenecks? Fixed. OptimumP2P thrives where throughput spikes (ie. more blobs). Can easily support 100+ blobs. With even more decentralization. The result: cheaper txs, faster chains, better UX. Try it.

Everything you need to know about Optimum 🫵 I don’t know why no one is talking about Optimum. Optimum is solving one of the biggest problem of Decentralized world. A thread🧵

Onchain = source of truth. Decentralization matters. Scalability matters. Optimum offer both. Together. In a bundle.

When compute stops being the problem, the hidden costs of networking + state access finally surface. VM performance keeps climbing, but p2p propagation + state I/O now cap throughput. Bottlenecks have shifted.

Payments need a universal ledger. Blockchains need a universal scaling layer. Google Google tackles the first. Optimum Optimum is tackling the second.

We are honored to welcome Professor Muriel Medard, Co-Founder and CEO of Optimum, to Cosmoverse 2025. Prof. Médard is one of the world’s leading authorities on network coding and communications systems. She is the NEC Chair of Software Science and Engineering at MIT, where

What if scaling every chain meant growing the whole pie? The future isn’t “chain wars.” It’s “chain symphony.” Scale all, win all.

Google’s L1 may reshape payment rails. OptimumP2P reshapes the internet fabric of blockchains. Together, decentralization scales without tradeoffs.

Anyone knows Eric? Please DM. Have an interesting proposal for him.

Not every oracle project makes it. Pyth Network 🔮 does—and its founders CEO Mike Cahill | Pyth🔮 & CTO Jayant Krishnamurthy are angel investors backing Optimum too. Congrats on another big step forward.

Network effects aren’t chain-bound—build infra that compounds as liquidity and users flow cross-chain.

Scale shouldn’t be zero-sum.
