Optimum, a cutting-edge Web3 infrastructure startup, has raised $11 million in a seed funding round to build what many in the industry are calling the “missing memory layer” for blockchains. Blockchains were never meant to remember. Their architecture is designed for consensus and security—not for memory. Each transaction or smart contract interaction is stateless, existing in isolation from all others. As a result, blockchains cannot “recall” previous user actions or data unless this memory is explicitly stored on-chain—an approach that is often expensive, inefficient, and cumbersome. But what if decentralized applications could access historical data as easily as modern apps…
