Luganodes X Optimum: Decentralized Memory Infrastructure

Introduction

As blockchains evolve beyond simple value transfer into platforms for complex computation and data-intensive applications, their infrastructure must keep pace. But a major limitation persists: memory and data access in decentralized systems remain slow, redundant, and expensive — hindering both scalability and user experience.

That’s where Optimum comes in.

Optimum introduces a new decentralized memory layer purpose-built for Web3 — delivering the high-speed data access and propagation needed to unlock the next generation of performant, scalable blockchain networks.

Luganodes is proud to support this leap forward.

Luganodes Supports Optimum: A Breakthrough in Decentralized Memory Infrastructure

Luganodes is excited to support Optimum, the world’s first decentralized, high-performance memory infrastructure designed to transform blockchain networks into fast, scalable computing systems.

Built on Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), a proven MIT-developed technique, Optimum introduces a new architecture for modular, permissionless, and scalable memory infrastructure — bringing high-speed data propagation, efficient memory access, and lower bandwidth costs to every layer of the Web3 stack.

A New Memory Layer for Blockchains

Blockchains today face a bottleneck: slow and redundant data propagation limits scalability, while inefficient memory access creates friction for developers and users alike.

Optimum addresses these challenges head-on. With its decentralized network of Flexnodes, any participant can help deliver memory and communication services to a blockchain, much like RAM and a memory bus in traditional computers — only now, in a decentralized form.

This allows blockchains to achieve performance levels previously only possible in centralized computing: low latency, high throughput, and efficient bandwidth usage — all without compromising on decentralization.

OptimumP2P: Smarter Data Propagation

At the core of Optimum is OptimumP2P. Analogous to a centralized computer’s memory bus, OptimumP2P is a high-performance data propagation protocol optimized for decentralized environments. By using RLNC, OptimumP2P significantly reduces redundancy and latency in message propagation across nodes. Luganodes is currently participating in the OptimumP2P private testnet.

Key advantages include:

• 50%+ lower propagation latency compared to Gossipsub - the data propagation technique used by Ethereum

• Bandwidth efficiency, with sub-linear growth as the network scales

• Fault tolerance, ensuring resilience to packet loss or churn

• Support for both L1s and L2s with high throughput needs

Validators using OptimumP2P gain faster block propagation, improved network reliability, and higher reward capture — especially in latency-sensitive settings like MEV.

Decentralized Memory Reimagined

Next on the roadmap for Optimum are two decentralized memory solutions: DeROM and DeRAM. DeROM provides efficient storage for historical state (Archive) and transaction data (DA). DeRAM is a decentralized memory object that supports atomic read/write operations with low latency and high availability for current state data. These future products alongside OptimumP2P will form the robust high-performance memory unit for the world computer.

Why It Matters

With Optimum, every stakeholder in the Web3 ecosystem benefits:

• Validators see better data propagation, reduced operational costs, and increased APY.

• Blockchains improve bandwidth usage, block propagation, and storage optimization.

• Developers unlock low-latency infrastructure to support performant, real-time applications.

• End users experience faster transactions and more responsive interfaces.

Luganodes X Optimum

Luganodes continues to focus on delivering institutional-grade infrastructure with Ethereum as a core network. By supporting OptimumP2P and its RLNC-based upgrade to the P2P layer, Luganodes aims to enhance data availability, boost validator performance, and further optimize its high-performance staking infrastructure.

Conclusion

At Luganodes, we’re proud to support infrastructure that pushes the boundary of what’s possible in decentralized systems. With Optimum, a new performance frontier is opening — and we’re excited to be part of it.
