What is LayerEdge?
LayerEdge is a decentralized verification layer that enhances Bitcoin’s security with Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs and BitVM.
It enables scalable proof verification for various blockchain environments and off-chain systems while minimizing costs and increasing efficiency.
Key Features
- Proof Aggregation: Combines multiple proofs into a single root proof for efficient verification.
- Bitcoin Anchoring: Stores proof hashes on Bitcoin for tamper-proof security.
- Stochastic Proof Sampling: Light Nodes verify randomly selected proofs to detect fraud efficiently.
- Incentive Mechanism: Light Nodes earn rewards for contributing to the network’s security.
Supported Use Cases
- Bitcoin Layer 2 (BTC-L2): Verification of off-chain transactions.
- Data Availability (DA) Layers: Ensuring data integrity.
- AI Chains: Validating AI computations.
- DePin Networks: Attesting to physical-world data.
- Real-World Assets (RWA): Verifying tokenized assets.
LayerEdge Node CLI
The LayerEdge Node CLI allows users to participate in the network by running a Light Node.
This lightweight software enables:
- Proof Verification: Validate and report fraudulent proofs.
- Network Participation: Contribute to security and earn rewards.
- Easy Deployment: Simple command-line interface for seamless setup.
Why Use LayerEdge?
- Scalable Verification: Reduces proof verification costs by up to 99%.
- Decentralized & Secure: Leverages Bitcoin’s security model.
- Economic Sustainability: Incentive-driven participation ensures long-term reliability.
LayerEdge transforms Bitcoin into a scalable, decentralized trust layer, enabling efficient,
secure, and cost-effective proof verification for multiple blockchain ecosystems.
