Things I tried to stay on top of in Dubai:
my inbox, my hydration, and the media game. Let’s just say… one of them won. 🏆😬🇦🇪
Figment is looking for acquisition targets, potentially extending a flurry of dealmaking in the digital-assets space triggered by President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto agenda bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

For validators, latency is money.
Faster, more predictable block propagation means less risk of missing deadlines, more time to build better blocks, and higher APY.
That's what @get_optimum's mump2p brings to Ethereum, built on RLNC, the network coding tech co-invented at MIT by Optimum CEO & Co-Founder @MurielMedard

Louis Régis sees AI agents beat humans on consistency and risk management at Propr.
Humans earn the biggest P&L (profit and loss) by taking outsised risks. Which would you fund?

A perp is priced by the market. A CFD is priced by your counterparty. That difference is going to matter a lot more as onchain liquidity catches up to TradFi.
Spoke to @FXFinanceFeeds about perps, CFDs and the “everything exchange”
Alice Li 李欣芮 retweeted
Around a third of Propr's funded traders are AI agents, and they pass evaluations at higher rates than human traders.

Not just your typical surface level interview...
Shoutout @cryptosmiff and @spenders_club, bringing some real thought provoking questions for @MurielMedard in this one. Check it out ⬇️
“Speed is money” - @MurielMedard
With $3.4B of Ethereum stake already running on Optimum’s mump2p, @cryptosmiff digs into the story behind its co-founder and CEO, Muriel Médard, who has spent 2 decades in academia focused on network coding at MIT.
This is Conviction Ep. 6

01:37 It's not the computers, it's the roads
04:33 Decentralized because nothing else scales
09:39 You can't build infrastructure with duct tape
15:36 Math, literature, and an accidental engineer
19:31 You don't need Big Brother
20:01 Why it's called Optimum
25:14 20 years out: decentralization is gravity
28:27 Why not stay academically decorative?

Muriel Médard says Optimum makes Ethereum block propagation about 2x faster and roughly 8x more consistent.
“I have to basically forego as a validator some really juicy potential rewards so that I don’t miss my deadlines.”
“We improve that time both on average by about 2x.”
“But also very importantly we tighten the jitter on it by about 8x.”
“That allows you to then wait and develop much more interesting and much more profitable algorithms for how long you’re going to hold off before you send the blocks on their way.”

Optimum is live on Ethereum mainnet, and Ether.fi made it standard across its entire validator fleet.
Today at 1:30PM ET, Muriel Médard and Mike Silagadze are joining us to break down why faster blocks change the game for Ethereum.
See you on the show.

Tokenization is moving from pilots to production.
Our founder @zhang_matt joined @avax_one ’s Pete Wylie on @TheBlockCo's Layer One to discuss what it takes to make tokenized assets productive, and where the next wave of growth comes from.

Optimum says 16 Ethereum node operators covering more than 1.4 million staked ETH now use mump2p, and that blocks reach its users 2.42 times faster than over GossipSub. The speed figures are the company's own.

One of the most exciting conversations I had this week was with @MurielMedard who is the co-founder of @get_optimum
She spent 20+ years in academia at MIT, earning five degrees there before joining the faculty.
In that time she focused almost entirely on a singular problem: network coding.
It's not everyday you meet someone who spent decades focused on solving one problem. But it does remind me that this industry attracts the most fascinating individuals. It gives me the energy to keep finding those people and sharing their stories.
This was a fun one, dropping soon!

TradFi latency optimization is straightforward, colocate or run fiber direct to the exchange.
In DeFi you can't do that because you don't know the path that data will need to travel. Our CEO @MurielMedard recently went on A Global Tech Podcast to explain how Optimum solves this.
Good watch on where retail trading is going - onchain prop trading for AI agents is a stronger market than for humans. Can't believe that a third of @ProprXYZ users are already agents!!
Hyperliquid’s biggest growth phase may not be retail.
@louisregis argues the platform still captures very little institutional flow today.
If regulation eventually opens the door to major market makers and US capital, Hyperliquid’s next battle isn’t just Binance.
It’s traditional financial infrastructure.

I think crypto as an industry is a bit torn between being a meritocracy that rewards measurable results, and an irrational hype driven market that puts narratives over evidence.
That's just my perspective, I discussed this recently with @jilliangodsil of @blockleaders (you can find her piece at blockleaders.io/muriel-medar… ) but I'd love to hear what others think about this dynamic and how it may evolve as the industry matures.

Blockchain data propagation is slow, consuming massive bandwidth. What if you could send equations instead of raw data, reconstructing it with 95% less bandwidth and 20x faster speeds? That's the power of RLNC, developed over two decades at MIT.

🚨 New episode: Untangling Blockchain Infrastructure with Kent Lin
This week we’re joined by @kentlinyy, Co-Founder and COO of @get_optimum.
Blockchain adoption is entering a new phase.
The question is no longer whether the technology has potential.
It’s whether the infrastructure can support serious financial activity at global scale.
For institutions, that means speed, scalability, reliability, security and resilience when markets are under pressure.
Because if trillions of dollars are going to move on chain, blockchains need to behave like real financial infrastructure.
