According to CoinMeta, Optimum announced that Ethereum’s P2P protocol Mump2p has been launched on the mainnet, improving block delivery speeds. According to Optimum, co-founder and MIT professor Muriel M é dard, this protocol uses random linear network coding (RLNC) to transmit data combinations over Ethereum’s peer-to-peer network, doubling the block delivery speed in about 90% of cases. Launched on October 20th, it provides an alternative method for block and proof message transmission, supporting multiple clients including Prysm, Lighthouse, Teku, Nimbus, and Lodestar. Optimum reports that the delivery speed of this new protocol is 2 to 4 times faster than the existing Gossipsub system, with early measurements showing a 7.88-fold reduction in latency. By November 3rd, Optimum indicated that the adoption rate had reached 7.8%.
