Ethereum validators could receive blocks twice as fast—or up to 3.5 times faster with network coding. That’s what Optimum claims about its mump2p protocol. $ETH

A block is a batch of transactions added to the Ethereum chain, and how quickly it arrives determines how long a validator waits before building on the network’s latest state.

Block propagation was expected to remain at its usual pace, with gradual improvements. But the announcement says mump2p doubles delivery speed, increasing it to 3.5 times faster with network coding, and that validators have started using the service on mainnet.

All these figures come from Optimum itself, and there are no independent measurements yet, so they remain company claims.

If the speed is confirmed by future data, the latest network state may reach validators faster under load. But this does not guarantee a price movement for $ETH or lower network fees.

Bottom line: the real metric isn't the announced figure, but the number of validators actually using the protocol.

Which month do you expect the first independent measurement of mump2p speed to appear? 👇
