🔵MIT-Harvard Team Optimum Completes Angel Round Financing and Launches the World's First Full-Chain Scaling Solution

DeThings, March 1 - Optimum @get_optimum has announced the completion of its angel round financing, with investors including well-known Web3 figures such as the CTO of Polychain, the founder of DeFiance Capital, the CEO of Bitget, co-founders of Wormhole, co-founders of Polygon, and managing partners of Jump Crypto.

Optimum was co-founded by Professor Muriel Médard, NEC Dean of the MIT Computer Science Department, Dr. Kishori Konwar, and Kent Lin, President of the Harvard Blockchain Association. Leveraging MIT's research on Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), it has developed the world's first full-chain scaling solution - a 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.
