Optimum Says Block Propagation Layer Is Live on Ethereum Mainnet
The MIT-incubated network says 16 node operators and about 1.4 million ETH in stake are running mump2p, with ether.fi making it standard across its validator set
AI summary
Optimum, an MIT-incubated project, announced that its block propagation layer mump2p is now live on Ethereum mainnet. The network reports 16 node operators and roughly 1.4 million ETH in stake running the software, with ether.fi adopting it as standard across its validator set. Traders may view improved block propagation as a modest positive for Ethereum's validator efficiency and network performance, though the immediate price impact is likely limited given the early-stage adoption.
