The MIT-Harvard team Optimum announces the completion of its angel round financing and the launch of the world's first full-chain expansion solution.

According to TechFlow, on March 1, Optimum announced the completion of its angel round financing, with investors including the CTO of Polychain, the founder of DeFiance Capital, the CEO of Bitget, co-founders of Wormhole, co-founders of Polygon, and managing partners from Jump Crypto, among other well-known figures in Web3.

Optimum was co-founded by Professor Muriel Médard, the NEC Director of the MIT Department of Computer Science, Dr. Kishori Konwar, and Kent Lin, the president of the Harvard Blockchain Association. It is based on MIT's research findings on Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) and aims to create the world's first full-chain scalability solution—high-performance memory for the World Computer.

Optimum provides high-performance memory infrastructure for L1/L2 blockchains and node operators, including a P2P data communication layer and a decentralized memory layer (deRAM), breaking through the scalability bottleneck of blockchain to achieve fast data transmission, efficient storage, and real-time access. The financing will be used to accelerate product development and bring infrastructure upgrades to the Web3 ecosystem.
