Blockhash: Exploring The Blockchain

For episode 685 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Muriel Médard, CEO of Optimum, where they are building the fastest decentralized internet protocol for Web3, starting with a high-throughput, low-latency networking protocol that permissionlessly integrates with any blockchain. Optimum is building infrastructure that helps crypto networks and communities operate at peak efficiency. By aligning incentives, streamlining participation, and optimizing on chain activity, Optimum aims to create smarter, more sustainable ecosystems across decentralized networks. As blockchain adoption accelerates, fragmented participation and misaligned incentives continue to slow growth. Optimum tackles this head on by providing tools and systems that empower builders, validators, and communities to coordinate more effectively and unlock long term value.
