Polyhedra’s zkBridge Integrates Flare to Enhance Cross-Chain Security with ZK Proofs

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 28th, 2024, Chainwire

The Polyhedra community has approved a proposal to integrate Flare with Polyhedra’s zkBridge DVN. This integration will empower Flare developers to create secure and efficient cross-chain applications using LayerZero while benefiting from the cryptographic guarantees of ZK proofs.

zkBridge is a trustless, efficient, and secure cross-chain interoperability protocol and one of LayerZero’s Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVNs). It supports more than 30 layer-1 and layer-2 networks, and has successfully verified more than 20 million cross-chain transactions. zkBridge uses zkSNARKs to enable a prover to efficiently convince the receiver chain that a certain state transition happened on the sender chain. In addition to robust bridging safety, enabled by ZK proofs, zkBridge offers strong liveness guarantees, since only one honest member of the validator set is required for bridging.

Hugo Philion, Flare Co-founder, said: “Polyhedra’s zkBridge adds an additional security layer to LayerZero’s interoperability protocol and will be welcomed by Flare developers and users alike. Its integration is a sign of the growing support for Flare from cross-chain protocols and demonstrates the value of ZK technology in making it easier for value to flow freely between networks.”

Eric Vreeland, Chief Strategy Officer of Polyhedra said: “We are excited that the Polyhedra community has voted to support the integration of Flare with zkBridge. The level of activity on Flare has been ramping up and reliable bridging protocols are the key to accelerating this while maintaining decentralization. We look forward to seeing how Flare developers utilize zkBridge to create dapps that draw data from a rich variety of multi-chain protocols.”

zkBridge utilizes zkSNARKs to securely relay and verify block headers and consensus across different chains. It uses a 2-layer recursive proof system to achieve fast proof generation and low on-chain proof verification cost to support cross-chain applications. Polyhedra’s zkLightClient technology in particular dramatically reduces onchain verification costs and latency by allowing for the efficient batching of multiple transaction verifications into a single proof.

On-chain light clients allow for the source chain’s validator set to attest to an event that occurred on their chain to a destination chain. Dapps deployed on Flare, for example, can draw data from other networks using zkBridge, allowing them to create powerful cross-chain financial applications for DeFi, including trading, perps, prediction markets, and much more.

The integration of Polyhedra’s zkBridge adds a layer of security on top of the LayerZero messaging protocol while making it easier for data and assets to flow freely to Flare, whose TVL has reached all-time highs. The number of wallets on Flare has also surpassed 1M as users have onboarded to its growing DeFi ecosystem.

Legion Raises $2M for Merit-Based ICO Platform

Road Town, British Virgin Islands, August 27th, 2024, Chainwire

Legion plans to become one of the first MiCA-compliant CASPs and bring access to early fundraising and token offerings to non-accredited investors.

Today, Legion emerges to mark a new era of merit-based on-chain fundraising.

According to the team, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) revolutionized how blockchain projects fundraise. They offered equal opportunity to participate in the early stages of new projects, and as a result, created some of the strongest communities crypto has ever seen, such as the LINKMarines, ThorChads, and ETH maxis.

“I participated in half a dozen ICOs. I loved them, but it was clear they had flaws. Scams, bots, and a regulatory clampdown killed on-chain fundraising. Now price discovery occurs in back-room deals. Investment upside is fully extracted off-chain, before everyday users have access. These private markets stand in stark contrast to crypto’s decentralized ethos and leave projects well-funded, but without any organic community.” – Legion cofounder Matt O’Connor

Legion exists for a singular purpose: to provide equal opportunity access to on-chain fundraising for new crypto projects. It achieves this mission with its investor reputation and accountability layer, as well as by providing regulatory clarity offered by the latest regulations. Together, these features ensure that for teams using Legion, the risk-to-reward ratio of raising from retail users on-chain is competitive to that of raising from VCs.

Legion’s founding team are no strangers to on-chain fundraising, having worked for multiple projects funded by ICOs – including current and former Top 50 projects by market cap such as Stacks, “the first SEC-qualified [token] offering in U.S. history”.

“Raising from retail investors on-chain is the best way to build an incentive-aligned community, but it can be risky because you don’t know who your early investors are. Will they be long-term supporters? Are they real or just sniping bots? Legion’s accountability layer allows teams to assemble their retail army based on on-chain and off-chain criteria, and slash the reputation of short-term actors. It changes the incentives, and aligns everyone to act long-term.” – Legion cofounder Fabrizio Giabardo

Legion is backed by a number of mission-driven previous founders, accelerators, and angels, completing a $2M Seed round led by Cyber Fund, with participation from AllianceDAO, Delphi Labs, CoinGecko, Mike Dudas, Alex Svanevik, Peter Smith, Maggie Love, Jon Wu, Ryan Watkins, LongHash, and others.

“For projects, it’s all about maximizing the amount of value per dollar raised. Raising from the right mix of retail and venture capital investors is crucial for the right community. Just as your first ten employees define company culture, your first 100 -1,000 token holders define community culture.” – Cyber managing partner and former Lido cofounder Konstantin Lomashuk

With this latest round, Legion is building its reputation system and accountability layer, and securing the necessary VASP/CASP licenses to facilitate pre-token fundraising rounds and token sales for non-accredited investors under MiCA.

About Legion

Legion makes investing in on-chain fundraises accessible to retail investors through regulatory compliance and investor accountability. Projects using Legion can customize allocation, whitelist, discounts, and more using on-chain and off-chain criteria about each investor, assembling an organic, die-hard, community of supporters. Each user on Legion is assigned a Legion Score, as well as subcomponent scores and achievements, reflecting their ability to add-value across multiple facets and heavily reducing bot and Sybil activity. These reputation scores change based on how investors support the projects they invest in, disincentivizing short-term, value-extractive type behaviors.

Launch a Network with Restaked Security in Minutes: Tanssi and Symbiotic Set New Ethereum Standard

Cayman Islands, UK, August 22nd, 2024, Chainwire

Tanssi Foundation announces the expansion of the Tanssi blockchain infrastructure protocol to Ethereum, enabling the rapid launch of decentralized networks—also known as Actively Validated Services (AVSs)—in minutes. This expansion, driven by a strategic collaboration with Symbiotic, a leading permissionless restaking protocol, will allow developers to deploy highly customizable and decentralized networks, leveraging Ethereum’s robust security.

While rollups have been key to scaling Ethereum, they may fall short when strong decentralization, customization, or interoperability are needed. Decentralized networks, or AVSs, build on these strengths by providing a more flexible and versatile approach. Developers gain direct access to Ethereum’s shared security through restaking, backed by over $45 billion worth of ETH. However, networks using restaking security are still a new and complex technology, typically requiring months to launch due to significant infrastructure needs, ongoing management, and resource demands.

Tanssi drastically simplifies this process, reducing launch times from months to minutes and streamlining management, making it easier for builders to deploy and maintain their decentralized networks in a customizable environment. This approach not only eases the development process but also accelerates time to market, allowing projects to reach their users faster.

By leveraging Symbiotic’s restaking protocol, Tanssi enables networks on Ethereum to easily tap into billions of dollars in shared security from staked ETH. This approach enhances decentralization by providing a permissionless network of shared operators for block production, ensuring fast transaction finality and avoiding reliance on a single sequencer.

“Tanssi is providing developers in the Symbiotic ecosystem with an easy-to-use interface to one of the most sophisticated and battle-tested blockchain development stacks. By integrating with Symbiotic’s shared security protocol, projects using Tanssi can tap into Ethereum’s liquidity and launch an appchain with restaking functionality in minutes,” says Felix Lutsch, Head of Ecosystem at Symbiotic.

This collaboration also introduces new possibilities for developers by integrating Substrate’s flexible SDK for complete customization. With Tanssi’s framework, developers can quickly implement AVSs using prebuilt templates and modules, achieving full decentralization without relying on a single sequencer.

Tanssi-based AVSs are blockchain systems that leverage Ethereum’s shared security, enabling developers to create highly customized protocols. This includes application-specific blockchains, alternative VMs, bridges, data availability layers, and more, providing developers with the tools to address use cases that traditional rollup architectures may not effectively serve.

Francisco Agosti, Tanssi Co-founder, says, “Decentralized networks, also known as Actively Validated Services (AVSs), offer new possibilities for applications that don’t fit within the rollup model. Tanssi changes the game by providing a fully customizable, decentralized environment where developers can launch Ethereum-based networks in minutes. We expect Tanssi to catalyze growth in Ethereum’s restaking security market, making decentralization and accessibility easier than ever.”

Supported by investors like Arrington Capital, SNZ, HashKey, Borderless, and Fenbushi, Tanssi has raised $9M to fuel its growth. With over 2,000 application-specific blockchains already deployed on its testnet, Tanssi is set to establish a new standard in the Ethereum ecosystem, with its mainnet launch expected in early 2025.

About Tanssi Network

Tanssi empowers developers to launch decentralized and customizable blockchains in minutes. With essential tools and resources—including shared security through restaking, developer tools like wallets and block explorers, cross-chain integrations, and integral data availability—developers can swiftly bring their projects to market and focus on creating unique user experiences. Tanssi stands out with its rapid deployment, robust security, and seamless integration capabilities, making it the smart choice for forward-thinking blockchain development.
