Sixteen Ethereum node operators have adopted Optimum's mump2p software, now live on the Ethereum mainnet since October 20. This software provides an additional path for block delivery alongside Ethereum's existing GossipSub network, helping validators with over 1.4 million ETH staked avoid missing rewards due to late block arrivals. Ether.fi has made mump2p mandatory for its 12 node operators, standardizing its use. Optimum plans to extend mump2p to other high-throughput blockchains, potentially improving block delivery efficiency beyond Ethereum.
