MIT's Muriel M'edard Speeds Up Ethereum Blocks by 6.5x with mumP2P
Muriel M'edard, a researcher at MIT, has made a significant breakthrough in blockchain technology. Her firm, Optimum, has developed a new network layer called mumP2P that spreads Ethereum blocks approximately 6.5 times faster than Gossipsub, a key component of the Ethereum blockchain infrastructure.
M'edard's research focuses on the efficiency of decentralized communication systems. She argues that distributing functions rather than centralizing them can lead to more energy-efficient networks. This principle is evident in mumP2P, which spreads blocks in about 150 milliseconds, significantly improving data sharing speed.
The implications of this innovation are substantial. Faster data sharing could make blockchains more efficient, potentially lowering transaction costs across networks. This could make blockchains like Ethereum or Solana run more efficiently with quicker transactions and lower fees.
Optimum's mumP2P network layer, developed by Muriel M'edard, promises to revolutionize blockchain technology. By spreading blocks faster and more efficiently, it could make transactions cheaper and faster, benefiting users and networks alike. As research continues, the future of blockchain technology looks increasingly promising.
