The Rollup(@therollupco):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.” @MurielMedard @get
