The value of the work we're doing at @get_optimum is encapsulated quite well by the phrase "speed is money". In modern markets there are real economic advantages to latency reduction. This is nothing new. Wall Street firms have long been optimizing on latency, primarily through colocation and top of the line hardware. However, when it comes to decentralized systems, expensive hardware and geographic concentration are antithetical to their purpose. Therefore we should optimize decentralized network latency through software, which I'm thrilled about because it's exactly what I've spent the better part of the past 2 decades working on with Random Linear Network Coding. Now let’s talk about networking economics, the relationship between speed and money. First, it's important to note that users will only pay for low latency if it can be consistently guaranteed. Second, you can only make that latency guarantee for a certain number of users. This is a universal law of networking. We can model this relationship on a delay curve, shown below. The delay curve is determined by the utilization rate of the network, meaning how much traffic is flowing through the network divided by the network's throughput. As you approach a level of traffic equal to the available throughput, latency trends infinitely higher. On this delay curve we can impose some utility thresholds. These thresholds are the levels of latency which are important to different groups of users because of how that latency guarantee improves their economic outcomes. Finding the point on the curve where each threshold intersects will tell us what level of traffic we can guarantee that level of latency for. Essentially, there exists a finite supply of speed on a network and the highest utility users of that speed are willing to pay more for it. I like to think of this similarly to expedited shipping options on Amazon. This is why we say speed is money, and why we can create a Latency Marketplace. The only way to increase the supply of speed is to fundamentally increase network throughput. This is what we work on at Optimum by using Random Linear Network Coding. The same relationship between traffic and throughput still applies, but now the delay curve is shifted out further to the right. Now more traffic can be processed at the same latency, or the same traffic can be processed at a lower latency. More speed available to the network. More value unlocked for the network’s users. Crucially, that value is no longer only reserved for those who can afford to sit closest to the machine. Expanding the supply of speed widens who can reach each latency threshold, keeping the network's advantage decentralized rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. When nodes join Optimum and participate, they reap the benefits, but they also add to the capacity. Rather than vying against each other in a zero-sum game, nodes help themselves and others.

Yieldmaxxing 101 Five important factors to consider when choosing where to stake your $ETH, with @kentlinyy.

Speed is money ♾ In Web3, thats not just a saying its an economic reality. The difference between earning a reward and missing it can be measured in milliseconds. A validator receives a block slightly earlier. A proposer has a little more time to select the highest MEV bid. An attester meets the deadline instead of missing it. ------------------------------------------- @get_optimum isnt trying to redesign blockchains from scratch, its focusing on something more fundamental,improving how data moves across them. Using RLNC, it aims to reduce propagation delays and make delivery more reliable, giving validators and networks more valuable time where it matters most. -------------------------------------------- Markets reward efficiency. And in a world where every millisecond can have economic value, optimizing data movement isnt just infrastructure. Its an investment in performance!

be honest, how much of the last Optimum video do you actually remember? Not what you think you remember, what you can remember right now without going back to rewatch it. the truth is most of us consume content and move on. we just watch, give a like or comment and thats all a week later? half the details are gone. So I started thinking: What if learning about @get_optimum felt more like a game than homework? that's why I built Optimum Watch & Earn A simple platform that turns every new Optimum video into a community challenge. Here's how it works: every week we have an active video for the community. > Watch the latest video > Unlock a 5-question quiz based on the video's content > 20 seconds per question > The faster and more accurately you answer, the higher your score > Build streaks across multiple videos > Compete with your region on a live leaderboard And yes... the regional competition is real. • West Africa • East Africa • UK & Europe • North America • Diaspora every week, regions battle for the top spot. which means every correct answer isn't just helping your score alone, it's helping your entire region climb the rankings. The goal wasn't just to build another quiz, the goal was to make learning about Optimum more interactive, memorable, and fun. come rep your region and let's see who was actually paying attention link : optimum-watch-and-earn.vercel.app Built independently for the Optimum community because I wanted every new content drop to feel like an event, not just another video.

The TAM is the entire global financial system & the ticker is $ETH. Cheers from the Optimum team, @BitMNR, @1kxnetwork, @BlockdaemonHQ and @Auros_global here at last night's Top of the Block event we hosted in NYC. 🥂 Catch us next week at @ethconf!
