To ensure network fairness and defend against Sybil attacks, LayerEdge has just introduced Proof of Humanity (PoH)—a privacy-first identity verification system. Complete PoH by April 25th to enhance your eligibility for mainnet airdrops and future incentives.

Introduction to LayerEdge Project
LayerEdge is an innovative validation layer designed to bring enhanced data settlement and verification capabilities to Proof-of-Stake (PoS)-based chains and rollups. At its core, LayerEdge is a platform for aggregating and verifying zk-proofs, offering a seamless and efficient method for settling these proofs on the Bitcoin network. This unique architecture enables data from various sources—including data availability layers (DA) and PoS-based chains—to be securely anchored to Bitcoin, leveraging its established security and immutability.

Core Technologies of LayerEdge

1. Bitcoin-Native Security-Based Scaling
   LayerEdge's core design revolves around extending Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work (PoW) security to off-chain computation and zero-knowledge proof (ZK) verification. Through ZK-proof aggregation technology, LayerEdge optimizes the verification process, reduces costs, and enables ZK verification execution on the Bitcoin chain, propelling Bitcoin's evolution from a store-of-value layer to a decentralized computing platform.

2. ZK-Proof Aggregation Mechanism

   • Reduced Verification Costs: Traditional methods require individual verification of ZK-proofs, consuming on-chain resources. LayerEdge aggregates multiple proofs into a single proof, reducing verification overhead.

   • Optimized Computational Efficiency: Aggregation technology minimizes redundant computations, enhancing verification throughput.

   • Economic Viability: Optimized verification costs enhance the practicality of ZK-proofs.

3. On-Chain Verification Process

   • Initial Submission: Validation operators submit initial states and propose state transitions via ZK-proofs.

   • Challenge Period: An open质疑 (questioning) window allows other nodes to verify the validity of state changes.

   • Final Confirmation: If no valid challenges are raised, state changes are confirmed as valid and written to the Bitcoin chain; if errors are detected, invalid updates are blocked.

LayerEdge Funding
On May 24, 2024, LayerEdge completed a Pre-Seed funding round with an undisclosed amount.
LayerEdge's testnet has raised $27 million in funding and collaborates with numerous major institutions, with strong engagement on the X platform.

Conclusion on LayerEdge
LayerEdge là gì? (What is LayerEdge?) It is an infrastructure project supporting the development of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin.
LayerEdge employs multi-zk-proof aggregation technology to compress multiple zero-knowledge proofs into a single proof, reducing verification costs and achieving exponential improvements in verification efficiency. This technology successfully injects smart contract programmability into the Bitcoin network.

Against the backdrop of Bitcoin's flourishing Layer 2 ecosystem, LayerEdge is steadily establishing itself as a core infrastructure for large-scale zk-protocol validation, providing critical technical support for the next generation of decentralized applications. The project's ultimate vision is to drive Bitcoin's paradigm shift toward becoming a "decentralized supercomputer"—powered by LayerEdge solutions built on zero-knowledge proof technology, enabling efficient off-chain execution of complex computational tasks.
