The next phase of Ethereum's scalability isn't only about execution. It's also about how efficiently information moves across the network. This is where @get_optimum taking an important approach. Through mump2p and Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), Optimum is working to improve block propagation, reduce communication delays, and make validator coordination more efficient. What's interesting is that this approach focuses on strengthening Ethereum's underlying networking infrastructure rather than changing its consensus design. As blockchain networks grow, reliable communication becomes increasingly important. Optimum is building around a simple but powerful idea: A faster network starts with better communication. Worth keeping an eye on @get_optimum .
