TREE NEWS update: Ether.fi has mandated that all of its node operators run Optimum’s mump2p software on Ethereum mainnet, the MIT-born startup said. Sixteen node operators are now using mump2p for more than 1.4 million ETH in staked assets, with blocks arriving faster than over Ethereum’s default gossip layer.

AI take
A mandatory software standard across a staking protocol's operator set is a meaningful shift in how much infrastructure control sits with the protocol versus individual operators, and it makes Optimum a dependency for a large pool of staked ETH. The reported block-propagation gains point to latency as a competitive lever in staking, not just yield. The open question is whether other large staking protocols adopt similar mandates, and whether operator-level software requirements become an expected norm rather than a differentiator.
