Optimum

Optimum (operating at getoptimum.xyz) is a blockchain infrastructure platform engineered for universal data acceleration. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, NY, Optimum specializes in building networking and memory-layer infrastructure for blockchain nodes, addressing the inefficiencies in transaction propagation across decentralized networks. Under the hood, the company leverages **RLNC (Random Linear Network Coding)** to optimize data transmission, ensuring faster and more reliable transaction dissemination across the Ethereum network and other blockchains. This allows validators, stakers, and node operators to achieve lower latency, higher throughput, and reduced operational costs—critical for scaling decentralized applications. Backed as a private venture-backed company, Optimum is positioned to redefine blockchain scalability by decoupling data transmission bottlenecks from traditional consensus mechanisms.
