After 15 years of research at MIT, RLNC is ready for commercialization in Web3. Professor Muriel Médard shares insights on this breakthrough.
The Creation of RLNC
Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) was developed at MIT under the guidance of Professor Muriel Médard. It is already used in 5G, satellite telecommunications, and IoT industries.
Application in the Web3 Industry
RLNC aids blockchains in overcoming critical scalability bottlenecks by encoding data into mathematical equations. This enables faster transmission, reduced bandwidth usage, and increased reliability.
Challenges and Growth Perspectives
As blockchain usage grows for payments and financial instruments, scalability remains a crucial issue. Optimum, co-founded by Médard, has received support from investors like Sandeep Nailwal, Robinson Burkey, and others.
RLNC has the potential to transform Web3, offering an efficient scaling solution in the era of growth and mass adoption.
