Optimum is the world’s first decentralized, high-performance memory infrastructure for any blockchain — designed to scale data access, reduce network strain, and power the next generation of dApps. Powered by Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) — a proven, MIT-developed data encoding technique — Optimum turns sluggish, redundant networks into fast, efficient, scalable systems.

Optimum is a decentralized network of flexnodes that can be run by anyone and permissionlessly connect to any blockchain.

With Optimum, blockchains gain a memory bus and RAM that rivals the performance of modern computing. At its core, Optimum is building a provably optimal memory infrastructure that transforms blockchains into high-speed, scalable computing networks. The architecture is modular, permissionless, and easy to integrate via APIs.

Optimum’s products include Optimum P2P and decentralized Random Access Memory – DeRAM that deliver benefits across the entire blockchain ecosystem:

• For validators: Accelerated data propagation, lower operational costs, higher APY and MEV income
• For L1 and L2 blockchains: Faster block propagation, reduced bandwidth consumption, and optimized storage
• For dApp developers: Improved transaction relay and prioritization, enabling latency, throughput, and cost-sensitive apps
• For end users: Faster transactions and more responsive interfaces, improve user experience
