The news about X Layer comes as other major cryptocurrency exchanges, like Coinbase and Kraken, have also pursued their own layer 2 networks over the last year.
The release is the product of a16z’s first foray into deep tech research.
A key element of the upgrade is to enable a new place for storing data on the blockchain – referred to as “proto-danksharding,” which gives room for a dedicated space that is separate from regular transactions, and at a lower cost.
By plugging into the AggLayer, Astar users will have access to the liquidity in the Polygon ecosystem, allowing cross-chain transactions between Astar and Polygon zkEVM, making the experience feel like a single chain.
The Taiko project, distinguished for its “based sequencing” architecture, is one of several competing for relevance among a deep field of Ethereum layer-2 networks.
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) allow crypto network users to verify the validity of a transaction without revealing details of the transaction.
Although the intersection of Web3 and AI has great potential, there is a lot of confusion about this emerging technology in the market today. Mapping out the GPU supply chain, layers of the tech stack, and various competitive landscapes can help investors better understand the ecosystem and make more informed investment decisions, says David Attermann, at M31 Capital.
Polygon Labs, a developer of scaling networks for Ethereum, has shifted toward “Polygon CDK,” a blockchain-development kit powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. The older “Polygon Edge” was used by Dogechain, in an unofficial effort to build a Dogecoin-oriented smart-contracts network.
Developers building on Polygon’s zkEVM will be able to incorporate these data feeds into their on-chain applications.
The new “Cronos zkEVM chain” is launching initially as a test network, based on Matter Labs’ software tools, which can be used to spin up new layer 2 and layer 3 “hyperchains” atop Ethereum.
