Bitcoin, the very first blockchain, is evolving continuously, and its ecosystem is currently experiencing rapid expansion since the emergence of the Ordinals protocol. To foster further growth of a robust Bitcoin ecosystem, there is a pressing need for a solution that not only enables seamless interactions within Bitcoin and its Layer-2 networks but also facilitates interoperability between the Bitcoin ecosystem and other blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum and Ethereum Layer-2s.

Addressing this need for interoperability, Polyhedra Network introduced the Bitcoin Messaging Protocol powered by zkBridge. This pioneering development expands Bitcoin’s functionality, enabling it to interact seamlessly with a range of blockchain networks, both Layer-1s and Layer-2s.

zkBridge, the interoperability protocol designed and implemented by Polyhedra Network, offers a trustless and efficient cross-chain solution powered by zero-knowledge proofs, not only within the Bitcoin ecosystem but also between Bitcoin and other blockchain networks.

As the first trustless interoperability protocol between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other networks, we are working together with developers building cutting-edge infrastructures, Bitcoin Layer-2s, wallets, DeFi protocols, and tools within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Our zkBridge Bitcoin interoperability protocol will help the Bitcoin ecosystem to reach the entire crypto user base, securely and efficiently. Assets will no longer be constrained to the Bitcoin network itself or any other blockchain network. Developers can focus on building value-add projects without worrying about connecting Bitcoin with other chains. Complexities around wallets and accounts can be abstracted away, allowing developers to focus on bringing incredible user experiences. zkBridge enables fast, secure, and trustless cross-chain interactions, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs to eliminate the need for any third-party validation.

Leveraging zkBridge, Bitcoin can now securely transmit its current and historical data, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs, to 20+ networks including Bitcoin Layer-2s, Ethereum, and Ethereum Layer-2s. It is also compatible with recent Bitcoin innovations like Ordinals, BRC-20, and Atomicals. This enables smart contracts on other blockchain networks such as Ethereum and Bitcoin Layer-2s to trustlessly access Bitcoin data and protocols, and make all kinds of computing logics, and the security is guaranteed by zero-knowledge proofs.

Furthermore, when we want to send messages and cross-chain transfer assets from another blockchain to Bitcoin, we need to overcome Bitcoin’s lack of smart contract functionality. Our solution employs a Proof-of-Stake mechanism. Validators stake tokens from sender chains and are authorized to write data on Bitcoin, ensuring secure cross-chain transactions. We further enhance our solution by integrating with EigenLayer and Babylon, and introducing a well-designed slashing mechanism for crypto-economic security.

The industry is at the very beginning of the development and expansion of the Bitcoin ecosystem, and we are excited to support the builders committed to unlocking the full potential.

We have teamed up with key builders within the Bitcoin ecosystem for infrastructures, wallets, Bitcoin layer-2s, DeFi, and tools. We are excited to introduce the largest Interoperable Bitcoin Ecosystem Empowered by our zkBridge.
