Abstract CyberConnect is a decentralized social network that allows developers to create social applications where users own their digital identity, content, and connections. In this litepaper, we provide an overview of the three core components of CyberConnect: CyberProfile, a new decentralized

Upon reflecting on the events of the last few weeks, it’s clear now more than ever that a Web3 Social summer is coming 🥳

[Connected 2023](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon), a Web3 social hackathon by decentralized social graph protocol [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/), and [BNBChain](https://www.bnbchain.org/en), the world’s largest blockchain in terms of daily active users, has come to a close and the results are in! With around $50,000 in prizes, and a range of rewards including mentorship, seed funding opportunities, and more, the Connected 2023 demo day saw 57 projects compete for 6 categories of bounties. Ultimately, 23 teams won with [Oasis Origin](https://link3.to/oasisorigin) taking home the best overall social dApp prize.

Social graph protocols lie at the center of the upcoming Web3 social revolution. For the next generation of social applications to tap into the unrealized potential of our digital economy ignored by Web2 platforms as well as achieve mainstream adoption, robust and reliable infrastructures are essential. CyberConnect’s decentralized social graph protocol allows users to truly own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data while enabling developers to build engaging and personalized social experiences that put users at the center.

Web3 social is a crucial gateway to onboard billions of new users. With permissionless and composable social data infrastructures like CyberConnect, we are one step closer to that future.

The Web3 social hackathon took place from Feb 7 - March 9, 2023, and attracted over 2,000 applications from around the globe, featuring a diverse range of concepts and use cases including reputation-based social networks, creator platforms, NFT marketplaces, event ticketing, social identity-based Web3 wallets, token-gated experiences and more! Over the four-week building period, participating hackers received hands-on support from BNBChain and CyberConnect along with feedback and dev support by co-sponsors [Notifi](https://notifi.network/), [Lit](https://litprotocol.com/), [Livepeer](https://livepeer.org/), and [XMTP](https://xmtp.org/).

Industry veterans and judges from top teams including [Multicoin Capital](https://multicoin.capital/), [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/), [Sequoia Capital](https://www.sequoiacap.com/), [STEPN](https://stepn.com/), [Sky9 Capital](https://www.sky9capital.com/), [Delphi Digital](https://delphidigital.io/), [SevenX Ventures](https://7xvc.com/), [Lattice Fund](https://lattice.fund/), [IOSG Ventures](https://iosg.vc/), and [LearnWeb3 DAO](https://learnweb3.io/) evaluated projects on a range of criteria including business plan, technical complexity, impact, innovation, and user experience.

The future of Web3 social was on full display among the competing hackers at Connected 2023. Let’s check out some of the top winners from the 4-week-long hackathon:

**1. **[**Oasis Origin**](https://link3.to/oasisorigin)** (1st Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect & BNB Chain. Prize = $10,000)**

![1045481968.png](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/first.png)

[Oasis Origin](https://link3.to/oasisorigin) is a Web3 Social super-app. As one of the fastest-growing metaverse products globally in 2022, it has garnered over 10 million registered users and entered the social charts in more than 130 countries. Oasis users use the app to engage in various social activities such as watching sports, concerts, playing board games, and more. The team behind the super app will soon launch a new on-chain version called Oasis Origin on BNB Chain, supporting MPC login and featuring two wallets: Spending Wallet and On-chain Wallet. By integrating with the CyberConnect protocol, Oasis Origin facilitates the binding of ccProfile NFTs and allows users to bring their social assets from other apps into its ecosystem.

​

**2. **[**Phaver**](https://link3.to/phaver)**: The Gateway to Web3 Social (2nd Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect & BNB Chain. Prize = $5,000)**

![1045481978.jpg](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/second.jpg)

[Phaver](https://link3.to/phaver) is on a mission to provide a gateway to Web3 social for everyone. Phaver’s Web2.5 approach allows anyone to discover and follow Web3 content even without a wallet or profile while offering a fully on-chain experience for those who are ready for it. With the integration with CyberConnect, 350k+ ccProfile holders can use their identity in Phaver’s multi-protocol Web3 Social app, while many of Phaver’s existing 170k users can finally create their first on-chain social profile. All CyberConnect activity will also be included in Phaver’s reward program and provide an opportunity for users to earn the upcoming Phaver tokens before they launch. Soon, Phaver users will also be able to direct message each other even across different social protocols.

​

**3. **[**ReadOn**](https://link3.to/readon)** (3rd Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect. Prize = $5,000)**

![1045481979.jpg](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/third.jpg)

[ReadON](https://link3.to/readon) is a decentralized content platform, that seeks to help users efficiently and freely access quality content, break information silos and explore the real world. ReadON’s mission is to reshape digital reading behaviors in Web3 through the use of Game-Fi mechanisms and systems. Users start by equipping themselves with “Catto" NFTs, which allows them to earn in-game currency $READ as they read content. The rate of accumulation is affected by factors such as content topic, Catto properties, and user experience. The quality and type of content will be community-managed, with users able to vote and sponsor their favorite content through ReadON's "content staking" model. ReadOn is empowering creators to develop direct relationships with their audiences through CyberConnect’s EssenceNFTs that can be issued to their top fans. Both creators and users can mint their ccProfiles within ReadOn and start collecting EssenceNFTs. ReadOn has already empowered hundreds of thousands of users to create their first on-chain social profile who have collectively accumulated millions of EssenceNFTs.

New Feature Introduction: Link3 Post

Following the launch of [Cyber](https://cyber.co/), the new social Layer 2 with restaking, today we are excited to officially introduce CYBER Staking.

CYBER Staking is a transformative feature that enables users to stake CYBER tokens, thereby securing the network by adding additional nodes to process transactions, earning voting rights in CyberDAO, and, receiving various ongoing economic rewards.

We invite our dedicated community members and CYBER holders to participate in CYBER Staking, share the **1M CYBER reward pool,** and receive **a series of Ecosystem Airdrops**.

Start now at [cyber.co/stake](http://cyber.co/stake)

# **Economic Rewards**

CYBER stakers enjoy a variety of economic rewards which fall into four main categories.

### 1. **CYBER Season 2 Rewards - Live now with 1,000,000 CYBER to earn**

By simply staking your CYBER, you will be eligible to share the 1M CYBER tokens allocated to reward our early stakers. The more and earlier you stake, the higher the rewards.

The campaign is now live. You can join at [cyber.co/stake](http://cyber.co/stake)

Read on for more details regarding the staking period, unstaking, boosters, referrals, etc.

### 2. **Ecosystem Airdrop - 1st in the series coming this week**

As the Cyber ecosystem continues to thrive and expand, CYBER stakers will receive airdrops and benefits from our Cyber ecosystem partners. This will be an ongoing series and we will be announcing the upcoming airdrops on socials and in our community. Simply stake and enjoy the camaraderie.

We are kicking off the first airdrop with one special leading project this week, very soon. Stay tuned.

- *Unless stated otherwise, rewards are provided by third-party dApp developers and not by Cyber DAO. Rewards are not guaranteed with CYBER staking and are subject to change at any time. Your claiming and/or use of any rewards is at your sole risk. Cyber DAO is not responsible for any damages or losses related to rewards.*

**Besides the Season 2 Rewards and Ecosystem Airdrops, s**takers can also expect rewards from 3. Network Revenue Sharing and 4. CYBER Staking Incentives.

- **Network Revenue Sharing:** The staked CYBER are delegated to Actively Validated Services (AVS) operators through EigenLayer. In return, CYBER stakers will share the revenue from these services.
- **CYBER Staking Incentives:** To ensure ample rewards for CYBER stakers initially and long-term sustainability, a total of 5.5M CYBER has been specifically allocated to the long-term incentive program.

More details will be announced soon along with the testnet and mainnet launch.

# **Stake Your CYBER**

Season 2 Rewards is using a point system to determine reward distribution. Stake your CYBER to accumulate points and earn extra through referrals and boosters. The current campaign started on March 8th and continues until the launch of the Cyber mainnet. You’ll be able to unstake your CYBER shortly after the Cyber mainnet goes live. Cyber mainnet is planned to launch at the same time as the EigenLayer mainnet, targeted for the second quarter of 2024.

## **Earn Through Referrals**

Invite your friends to get 15% of the staking points from those you directly invite and 5% from second-degree invitees (those invited by the people you invited). Your referral code can be used multiple times.

## **Boosters**

You can unlock different levels of boosters to receive a boost on your total points.

- **Check-in Booster:** Check in daily to earn a booster on your total points. Checking in for 90 consecutive days earns you a 9% boost on your rewards.
- **Season 1 FanClub Booster:** This booster is designed for our community members who have unused Season 1 FanPoints. If you have ≥2000 and <5000 unused FanPoints, you’ll receive a 1.5% boost. If you’re holding over ≥5000 unused FanPoints, you’ll receive a 3% boost on your total points.
- **Community Booster:** Engage with our community by participating in quests and activities. These events unlock additional booster levels. Join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/buildoncyber) to stay updated on upcoming community quests.

# More about CYBER Staking in Cyber

### **Governance**

CYBER stakers along with CYBER holders can propose and vote on governance proposals on the use of community treasury, protocol upgrades, and council members.

### **Network Security**

Sequencers are at the core of a Layer 2 network, a centralized sequencer could have a negative impact, such as censoring user transactions, creating a single point of failure, and creating harmful MEVs. Cyber L2 utilizes EigenLayer’s [Actively Validated Services](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/overview/key-terms) (AVS) to build up the fundamental decentralized infrastructures such as sequencer, verifier, and CyberDB. Staked CYBER and restaked ETH are utilized as delegations to different AVS operators running these infrastructures, and a slashing mechanism is implemented to ensure operational integrity, optimize performance, and maximize network security.

For more details about CYBER Staking and L2, please visit [https://docs.cyber.co/cyber-token/staking](https://docs.cyber.co/cyber-token/staking)

Until today, the web3 experience has been far too complex for most users. Even though many of us managed to learn new wallet management skills like network switching and private key management, the experience as a whole still remains a painful ordeal for most.

This changes today.

Introducing **[CyberTrek](https://link3.to/cybertrek)**: a two-month journey of bi-weekly mini-treks to help you experience web3 through CyberAccount, an ERC-4337-compatible smart contract account.

Web3 has been buzzing with recent developments in account abstraction and smart contract accounts. Unfortunately, the hype has been insufficient in giving users an actual taste of what web3 can feel like with this powerful new primitive. By participating in CyberTrek, not only will users have the opportunity to earn rewards and get to know top teams in web3, but you will also expand your knowledge of account abstraction and how it is set to change your web3 experience completely.

From a stellar lineup of partners including [1inch](https://twitter.com/1inch), [OKX](https://twitter.com/okx), [SafePal](https://twitter.com/iSafePal), and more to exclusive insights from top blockchain networks - CyberTrek is your chance to supercharge your web3 experience with account abstraction.

So, are you ready to start your journey toward a new, improved web3?

## **What is CyberTrek?**

[CyberTrek](https://link3.to/cybertrek) is a two-month journey to experience web3 with account abstraction. It comprises six mini-treks, each running for two weeks on [Link3](https://link3.to/), web3’s most trusted social network to build and discover communities.

Each mini-trek is themed around one of our six partner blockchain networks and will feature their ecosystem’s top applications/projects through a series of AMAs, roundtables, fireside chats, and other online events.

## ![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/a098342fef555a82)

**Why CyberTrek?**

The ultimate purpose of CyberTrek is to bring account abstraction to every web3 user. With this campaign, we will roll out [CyberAccount](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/92e4477c7833a3e8a793c14e8ec884421a5c30edc9afb06d5ce2177ff22c074a), our ERC-4337-compatible smart contract account system, to select whitelisted users (more info below) and test the product at scale for technical validation.

With CyberTrek, it is also an opportunity for the entire web3 community to expand their knowledge on ERC-4337 and get hands-on experience with this improved web3 user interface while learning about the top projects across six major blockchain networks.

## **How to Participate in CyberTrek?**

## All You Need to Know About CyberTrek

1. **Who are the 6 partner blockchain networks?**

The partners include EVM-compatible chains like Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc. A surprise partner will be announced on August 7, 2023.

2. **Who are the featured projects for each mini-trek?**

Featured projects will be shared at the beginning of each mini-trek.

3. **What are the minimum and maximum amount of funds I need to add to CyberAccount to be eligible for rewards?**

You must add a minimum of $10 to CyberAccount to be eligible for the rewards. There is no maximum limit.

4. **When does CyberTrek start?**

You can start your CyberTrek journey today by minting the [CyberConnect V3 Evangelist NFT](https://link3.to/cybertrek).

5. **What is CyberAccount and how is different from my MetaMask wallet on Ethereum?**

Web3 users today interact with Ethereum using EOAs. This is the only way to start a transaction or execute a smart contract. This limits how users can interact with Ethereum and contributes to poor user experience like inability to do batch transactions or requiring users to always keep an ETH balance to cover gas. Your Metamask wallet is a commonly used browser-based EOA.CyberAccount, on the other hand, is an ERC-4337-compatible account infrastructure that implements account abstraction to unlock many benefits for the users, including:

✧ use dApps deployed on multiple blockchains without worrying about network switching
✧ pay gas in currency of your choice. Eg: Pay gas on Optimism with $MATIC
✧ create a wallet using your email/phone
✧ define your own security rules for your account like tx limits etc.
✧ recover your account if you lose the keys
✧ share your account security across trusted devices or individuals
✧ enable session keys (no need to sign transactions every time interacting with blockchain)
✧ pay someone else's gas, or have someone else pay yours
✧ batch transactions together (e.g. approve and execute a swap in one go)

Ultimately, CyberAccount enables the web3 experience to be easier, and safer.

TL;DR ✦ CyberVoyage is now CyberTrek. ✦ Check if you’re whitelisted to participate in CyberTrek here. ✦ To win rewards during CyberTrek: ✧ Collect CyberConnect V3 Evangelist NFT ✧ Top up gas credit in your CyberAccount (Minimum USD $10) ✧ Collect CyberWallet Early Access NFT Until

# **About ReadON**

Currently, there are about 3 million active crypto users worldwide, but billions more people are interested in crypto. They may have heard about it and know some terminologies, but they don't know how to actually get involved. They are the biggest growth potential for the Web3 community, and that is why we built ReadON.

​

### **Your Ultimate Guide to the World of Web3**

[ReadON](https://readon.me/) is a decentralized content platform that consists of a series of underlying protocols. It is compatible with Web2 content and provides content authentication and on-chain services, which can enrich the entire Web3 content ecosystem.

From the user's perspective, we have released the ReadON DAO app, which is a content aggregation product that indexes content from both Web2 and Web3 and curates content based on user behavior.

For each C-end user, we have minted a ReadON Achieve, which is an SBT that records a user's experience and reputation value in different content areas, such as Defi, Gamefi, and will be expanded to non-Web3 content topics in the future. Users with different levels of experience values will have governance rights in their area of expertise in the future, including curation, commenting weight, evaluation of content quality, voting on the creation of new topic communities, etc. As of Mar 21st, 2023, ReadON has 150k user-profiles and 20k daily active users. In just the past week, they have sent over 50k super bullet comments for on-chain interaction.

### **ReadON Danmaku - Socializing like a Gen-Z**

At Connected2023, a Web3 social hackathon by CybberConnect and BNB Chain, we launched a feature in ReadON that caters to the social style of Gen-Z. We built the first decentralized Danmaku product for Web3.

Danmaku, also known as Bullet Chat, is a popular and interactive way for younger generations to engage with videos, express their emotions, and build communities.

With ReadON Danmaku, users can sign and send on-chain bullet chats in the app, as well as send gifts or cryptodirectly to their favorite creators. This feature has quickly gained traction, with over 10K users trying it out within the first week and more than 50,000 bullet chats sent on-chain.

Moreover, ReadON provides a web version where users can watch Youtube videos with on-chain bullet chats. Any developer can easily construct a dApp to display this information from public on-chain data.

Compared to traditional interactions such as follow, comment, and like, sending bullet chats encourages better engagement and builds a stronger sense of community. Users can bypass centralized platforms to express their feelings and give cryptocurrency gifts to their favorite creators. Decentralized bullet chats also provide a bridge between Web3 communities and traditional content creators. It provides creators with new sources of fans and income and also gives them an excellent entry point to join the crypto community.

The AI-Driven Future of Crypto Investment


Honeypot 🍯is now live on the Ethereum Mainnet! [Take your shot](https://honeypot.cartesi.io/) at hacking it and see if you can win 35,000 CTSI (and counting).

If you’re a web3 builder, you can jump straight into Honeypot’s [Github](https://github.com/cartesi/honeypot) repository to start poking around the DApp. If you *don’t* consider yourself a web3 builder, [stick around](https://linktr.ee/cartesi) to see if someone is able to hack it…

## What exactly *is* Honeypot?

Generally speaking, a “honeypot” is [defined](https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/honey-pot) as follows:

> *“In cybersecurity, a honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyber attackers and detect, deflect, and study hacking attempts to gain unauthorized access to information systems.”*

But what exactly is Honeypot, the DApp?

It's a game of sorts. A hacking challenge based on the concept of honeypots. Consider it a treasure hunt with no map, or a pot of gold at the end with one rule: if you can hack it, you can have it — no strings attached.

What Honeypot **is not** is a Bug Bounty or a Capture the Flag (CTF) program. Winners will figure out how to withdraw funds directly to their account. No need to submit a hacking recipe or take any other step. Likewise, there is no previously known solution to the challenge. The Cartesi team is not aware of any possible breaches to the Cartesi Rollup logic.

The game is designed to be a challenge for web3 developers. While attempting to withdraw the funds in a smart contract powered by Cartesi Rollups, they will be testing the security of Cartesi Rollups V1.

## How does it work?

In the backend code of the Honeypot DApp there is logic that only allows Cartesi’s depositor account to withdraw funds. Players face the challenge of breaking the code and withdrawing the funds to an account that *they* own. Go through the [Cartesi Rollups documentation](https://docs.cartesi.io/cartesi-rollups/) to come up with your own idea of how this could be done.

The original size of the honeypot will be 35,000 CTSI. It will then grow based on compounding 8% weekly allocations from the Cartesi Foundation.

What happens if the honeypot is cracked? The winner gets the funds — that’s it. Cartesi will then study the breach, solve it, and deploy another Honeypot to keep strengthening the core technology.

## What are Cartesi Rollups?

The Honeypot DApp operates within the Cartesi Rollups framework, wherein its backend logic runs in a dedicated Cartesi Node on the execution layer. In the case of the Honeypot, the execution layer will be layer-2, with the base layer being Ethereum itself. Asset operations are managed by Cartesi smart contracts on the base layer (layer 1), facilitating communication between the front-end and the Cartesi Node.

This architecture of a Cartesi DApp enables developers to realize substantial enhancements in the computational scalability of the blockchain. This is achieved by relocating the execution logic to nodes on the execution layer, while using the base layer for asset settlement, composability, and dispute resolution.

Not only do Cartesi Rollups address the computational limitations of the blockchain, but they also remedy the absence of a mature software stack for decentralized applications. Cartesi Rollups achieve this by offering modular application-specific optimistic rollups with interactive dispute resolutions, coupled with a mainstream virtual machine capable of executing real operating systems, such as Linux. This effectively allows developers to build scalable DApps with mainstream software stacks, like Python, NumPy, Rust, and many others.

If you’d like to dive deeper into Cartesi Rollups, read this [previous post](https://cartesi.io/blog/application-specific-rollups/) on app-specific optimistic rollups and why they’re important. Or itching to build something awesome? Check out our [developer documentation!](https://docs.cartesi.io/cartesi-rollups/)

## Are you up for the challenge?

Give it a shot! Stay tuned for an in-depth technical breakdown of Honeypot or try to crack it now on [Github](https://github.com/cartesi/honeypot). You can also stay in the know or flex your skills with other players by following on socials or joining the Cartesi community via the links [here](https://linktr.ee/cartesi).

Honeypot 🍯is now live on the Ethereum Mainnet! Take your shot at hacking it and see if you can win 35,000 CTSI (and counting). If you’re a web3 builder, you can jump straight into Honeypot’s Github repository to start poking around the DApp. If you don’t consider yourself a web3 buil

CyberLetter #26: Community Rewards Season 2, CyberAccount on Arbitrum

Welcome to the Beginner’s Guide to Web3 Social!

First things first: what’s centralized social media? These are the apps most people use every day; the Instagrams, Twitters, and Facebooks of the world. In centralized social media, users’ social data and connections are stored on **centralized servers** owned and controlled by large corporations and parent companies like Meta (Facebook) or ByteDance (TikTok).

Decentralized social media is the opposite — it’s where users’ online interactions, content, and social data are stored in **transparent, open-source environments**, like on a [blockchain](https://docs.alchemy.com/docs/what-is-a-blockchain) (i.e., [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/)) or a decentralized storage server (i.e., [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech/)), that is not owned or accessed by any single entity but by the users and builders themselves.

Tokenizing user-owned content refers to owning, storing, and collecting content as tokens on a blockchain, often as [NFTs.](https://ethereum.org/en/nft/) Tokenizing content (and connections) is a major use case and opportunity of Web3 Social to return value to content creators who no longer must navigate the limiting climate of publishing content via centralized social media channels to reach an audience and generate value.

### **How are** **Web3 and Web2 Social Networks Built Differently?** 

Social networks rely on [social graphs](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/1e150f16f02f41f1778d04021aa2ced959deac87b8c23c87891e5ce014901c5e) to connect the dots between users’ content, connections, and online identities; they’re like the building blocks to one’s entire online existence. These heavily guarded pillars of centralized social media’s architecture (i.e. the “stack”) exist in what many refer to as "walled gardens,” meaning they are inaccessible environments that lock out users from owning their content and social data, and prevent developers from accessing that data to provide users a better experience.

In Web3 social, however, social graphs are made open-source and composable (i.e., interoperable) so developers can leverage the same features to build into their own applications across different use cases, like content, music, events, art, trading, and so on. Imagine if Twitter was like a box of legos, where different developers could pick the individual pieces they (and their users) wanted most. That’s what happens at the social graph layer, where different blockchain-enabled social graphs enable developers to build countless Web3 social applications.

Here are some of the leading social graphs, networks, and a few of the applications they support.

### **Web3 Social Ecosystem: the Leading Protocols, Apps, and Players**

**[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/)**

CyberConnect enables developers to create social applications, empowering users to own their digital identity, content, connections, and monetization channels. CyberConnect has three core components: [CyberAccount](https://wallet.cyber.co/), a user-friendly smart account system; CyberGraph, a censorship-resistant database to record users’ content and social connections; and CyberNetwork, a gas-efficient and scalable network to bring Web3 social to the world.

CyberConnect utilizes decentralized storage protocols like IPFS and [Arweave](https://www.arweave.org/) to store users’ social data, which is critical to Web3’s potential to scale applications while hosting data in a secure and decentralized environment. CyberConnect has a growing ecosystem of dApps (decentralized applications) built on its network to satisfy a variety of use cases. Its leading dApp, [Link3](https://link3.to/), a content, community, and event amplification platform, has over 940k monthly active users.

**Lens**

Lens Protocol leverages a smart contract-based architecture built on the Polygon blockchain. Lens enables features like user-owned profile NFTs and on-chain modules for developers as the gateway to their ecosystem of dApps like [Lenster](https://lenster.xyz/), a content tool, and network where users follow and collect content to support creators. Beyond basic profile and following capabilities, Lens’ core concepts are content (Publications, Collecting, and Mirrors — i.e., re-shared publications), smart contract modules triggered via on-chain actions (Follow, Collect, etc.), and built-in governance, which allows groups to collectively make decisions in a decentralized environment, like a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

**Farcaster**

Built on Ethereum, Farcaster is a decentralized, invite-only communication network and social graph focused on private, encrypted communication and messages (i.e., Casts), reactions, Amps (a unique temporary follow feature), on-chain verification tools to prove users’ identity and content ownership (fnames and Verifications), and various anti-impersonation, security-focused features. While Farcaster doesn’t currently have many front-end apps that can plug into its flagship application, current clients (i.e., apps) can integrate into its network by running their own Hub, which is the storage environment for social graphs activity where Casts originate.  For many users who are frustrated with the limitations and unfair practices of centralized apps like Twitter, Farcaster has proved itself to be a useful alternative.

**DeSo**

Formally known as [BitClout](https://bitclout.com/), DeSo is a social-focused Layer-1 blockchain designed to scale web3 social applications and support creators. As another open-source network, DeSo focuses on generating value for users and creators through on-chain content features outside of the guarded confines of centralized monetization channels. These products include Creator Coins, a social token that allow holders (i.e., owners) who create DeSo profiles to receive premium content, demonstrate their reputation and affinity toward other creators, and generate revenue from the sale of tokens as NFTs. DeSo serves as the “native currency” of the blockchain’s ecosystem, powering the trading of content and the cumulative level of creator and user reputation. Another unique aspect of DeSo is their development of Social NFTs, which allow for socially-driven user engagement (likes, comments, etc.) that can exist within NFT metadata.

### **What Links On-Chain Social Networks Together?**

There’s a lot out there in Web3 social. So, what links these growing on-chain networks together? It often boils down to generating value through user-owned data and content. Whereas the billions of users and creators across centralized social media have grown accustomed to dwindling opportunities for generating value — often due to the limitations of shadowy algorithms, changing ad models, and fleeting user habits — decentralized social charts a different path forward. It’s a future where users are at the forefront, not the massive corporations who don’t have their best interests in mind. In the growing landscape of Web3 social, users, builders, and creators can pick the tools that will satisfy their needs and talents best on the platforms they love most. It’s a drastic departure from the traditional mindset experienced by content creators, community members, app developers, and anyone else devoted to building a better future for the internet.

​

## Submission & Selection

Since this is an experiment, we currently do not allow posting content directly on Link3 yet. Creators should submit their content for consideration. Here are the rules for submission and selection:

1. Original content only - We require all content to be original and not plagiarized. We will take down any post if plagiarism was detected. We encourage creators to use credible sources and properly cite any external sources.
2. Manually-selected posts - Around 50 manually-selected posts will be displayed on Link3 each week. Our team of moderators will review and curate the submissions based on quality, relevance to the theme, and adherence to our content guidelines.

The Week 1 of the Themed Post contest will run until next Sunday, Mar 26th, UTC 23:59.

## ​

## Post NFT & Monetization

We are also introducing a new way for creators to monetize their content. Each selected post can be collected as an NFT with a fixed price of 1 $USDT. In other words, a reader who wishes to show appreciation can pay 1 $USDT to collect the post as an on-chain NFT. All proceeds from the sale of the Post NFT will directly go to the author's address.

This will help to incentivize high-quality content and provides creators with a simple way to monetize their work.

Let the experiment begin! We are looking forward to showcasing the quality content produced by our community of creators. if you're a writer, blogger, or content creator looking for a new way to monetize your work, join us on Link3 ([https://link3.to/post](https://link3.to/post)) and participate in our Weekly Themed Post Contest!

Introducing Cyber's $2M Ecosystem Grants Program: Empowering Community-Led Innovation and Growth in Onchain Social

_**Game Space has announced it will be upgraded into a Casual GameFi Hub to bring an extra hour of happiness for everyone in Web3!**_

2022 was the most important year for GameFi's development. The innovation from Play-to-Earn to X-to-Earn model, together with the influx of capital raising and users rushing into Web3 has forged the glory of Web3 Gaming. It's inevitable to say that when the bear market arrived, the GameFi sector also was affected on some level. Nevertheless, the Web3 gaming market continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of Web3, with an average number reaching up to 800,000 active unique wallets per day in some periods.

​

Recently, Game Space has teamed up with Spinterlands, ImmutableX and Big Time to hold one of the largest Web3 gaming tournaments – the Player One Tournament to bring up the hype of GameFi. The tournament has created mass buzz for the GameFi sector, with  200K+ Twitter engagements and more than 20K+ on chain gamers participating in the 7-day tournament. On top of that, Sky Vee, a streamer with over 1.3M+ fanbase has also joined the tournament to compete and battle for the ultimate prize pool.

​

We can see that the love and passion of loyal Web3 gamers are still active in the market, but after Axie Infinity as the representative GameFi V1.0 has faded out from the audience's eyes, the industry has become quiet and people have high expectations for AAA GameFi projects entering the scene.  Many of the top AAA Web2 games including Zynga and Ubisoft have once said to enter Web3 but still haven't taken any moves, this then leads to the question of why AAA games rarely can make it to Web3?

​

**Why do AAA games have difficulties to enter Web3?**

Michael Cameron, CEO of Game Space previously has helped with incubating one of the industry’s first AAA MMORPG Web3 game Bless Global. He states that AAA games require a very high-level of entry, usually teams with over $50 million in funding may barely squeeze into this queue. In addition, long R&D cycles and difficulties in profiting, together with the bear market, all of these are the key factors that are hindering them to make this move.

​

Cameron also once worked with his team to launch the industry’s first GameFi as a Service (GaaS) to help traditional Web2 games to enter Web3 and solve the problems of high threshold of participation and non-closed-loop transactions for early GameFi users. However, the downturn of the GameFi sector in the bear market has slowed down the entry pace for Web2 gaming companies, at the same time there are no explosive new games uprising in the industry. Under these circumstances, Game Space is turning strategies and found a great opportunity to focus on  --- Casual GameFi (GameFi Mini-Games).

​

**If AAA games can’t make it, will mini-games?**

In order to promote GameFi SDK, Game Space developed a Web3 version of the classic mini-game Merge Bird in 2022 as a prototype to show gaming developers how easy it can be to bring them rapidly on-chain within 7 days. This small move immediately brought 20K+ followers on Game Space’s Twitter and mass casual gamers started to flood on Game Space App. Afterwards, Game Space has launched Goat! Goat! (a classic match 3 and clear game) which acquired 600K+ weekly active users in the first week of its launch.

​

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/aa90ca7f-f5a9-cc99-1e05-304b6b5cc12e/49a202ee8d9b9611)

​

Despite being an easy to play and fun game, players can earn mystery boxes of varying rarity such as gold, silver and bronze after passing the game. The mystery boxes can be sold on the NFT Marketplace, and through opening the mystery boxes, gamers can win USDT and different levels of Merge Bird NFTs. The random incentive introduced by the mystery boxes has created high participation for gamers, data shows that Goat!Goat! has reached over 6M+ rounds, produced 2M+ mystery boxes and 1.5M Merge Bird NFTs, setting an all-time record for Casual GameFi games.

​

After these mini-games, Game Space has launched Magic Pot and MythMania, over 1M+ Merge Bird NFTs were consumed in Magic Pot. In MythMania, the blind box incentive can be amplified 10 times by paying to open a mystery box, making the whole platform consistently profitable. This case is especially rare in a bear market when the platform has not yet issued Tokens to break even and keep growing.

​

**Why Casual GameFi is growing against the odds?**

According to statistics, there are more than 4 billion users of mini-games in the global market, and the casual games market will exceed $500 million in 2022 alone. There has always been a huge strength in mini-games, with short and easy development cycles, relatively easy to design the economic models and a huge user base due to the addition of social attributes. Moreover, with 77% of the user base and over 1 billion monthly users, mini-games are often overlooked by the mainstream market, but are in fact the mainstay of gaming.

​

According to Cameron, the success of Game Space in the Casual GameFi sector is due to several reasons. First, it is easy to get started. Mini-games are easy to play, flexible and can consume some of the fragmented leisure time, which makes them able to  attract a considerable amount of user scale and engagements. This is a feature and advantage of mini-games compared to AAA games, which require complicated login and account pre-set ups. Second, its due to the choices of the mini-games, from Merge Bird to Goat! Goat! then Melon Fusion, Game Space insists on choosing to transform current or former hit mini-games into Casual GameFi games, which brings promise to the games being playable. Thirdly, the capacity must be efficient. Based on Game Space's GaaS SDK, all Casual GameFi games modifications are now completed within seven days, which is a key reason why Game Space is able to continue to hunt down market hotspots and breakthroughs.

​

A loyal Game Space player Santosh said: “Before, I would be spending 1-2 hours on Voodoo (a traditional Web2 mini-game platform), after downloading Game Space I haven’t played any other platforms games because it has all my favorite mini-games on it. Other than that, I can also win rewards daily. Mini-games are truly a great way to pass time and are friendly to everyone.”

​

**The “lego effects” of GameFi**

The combination of a series of Casual GameFi forms an effective ecosystem, similar to “the lego” effect in DeFi. Uniswap, for example, developed the underlying protocol for the AMM mechanism, which can be used in various lending platforms such as Curve, while vault projects such as YFI aggregate the proceeds of the various lending protocols. Each project has only a few or a few dozen developers, but “building these lego blocks” can form an effective overlay of multiple projects together, hence it adds up to a huge DeFi industry.

​

It is the same for Game Space, the “lego effect” is evident in Game Space Casual GameFi Hub. By launching a series of Casual GameFi games to form an ecosystem, each with a separate set of output consumption scenarios, while the USDT, game tools, NFTs and Game Points (GP) generated in the games can be interchanged and converted to form an effective overlay. For instance, the mystery boxes obtained in Goat! Goat! can be used in MythMania, the Merge Bird NFTs produced in MythMania can be used in Merge Bird and so on. The combination of multiple games not only multiplies the fun, but also creates a more robust economic model, avoiding the short life cycle of single games in the Play-to-Earn era.

​

**What’s next for Game Space?**

Game Space has announced it will be upgraded into a Casual GameFi Hub to bring an extra hour of happiness for everyone in Web3! In the first quarter of 2023, Game Space is planning to launch more than 10 hit GameFi mini-games, and expand to 20 in Q2. Game Space's Twitter followers are about to pass the 100K+ mark and expects to build up to 1M+ users within a year through the Casual GameFi strategy, building up to the explosive growth of the bull market in 2024.

​

Game Space will also launch Galaxy Project Plan to invite more small game development teams (CPs) to quickly access the platform, bringing more new ways to play and embrace the growth dividends brought by Casual GameFi. The games that join the Galaxy Project Plan still need to be professional and sophisticated, either new or classic, with a smooth gaming experience and enough mass appeal. Together with partners, Game Space will also work with its partners to explore the future of social gaming, incorporating DIDs and other Social GameFi.

​

**About Game Space**

Game Space is Web3’s first Casual GameFi Hub, focussing on bringing Web2 mini-games rapidly on chain. Through Free-to-play and Web2 entry methods on the platform, the series of Casual GameFi games will form an ecosystem that allows the game's rewards of USDT, game props, NFT and Game Points (GP) can interchange and convert to form an effective overlay. Game Space has already launched classic mini-games such as Goat! Goat!, Merge Bird, Melon Fusion and its own reward focus game MythMania. Together with partners, Game Space will explore the future of Social GameFi, including DID and other Web3 innovations to bring an extra hour of happiness every day for Web3 users.

2. Чтобы отпраздновать «Социальное лето», мы подготовили общий пул вознаграждений в размере $510 000* для всех пользователей, которые будут минтить NFT в тематическом проекте в период проведения кампании с 22 июля 00:00 UTC по 2 сентября 00:00 UTC**.

> ** Цифра 510 000 долларов является лишь демонстрационной. Реальная стоимость вознаграждений в пулах вознаграждений может измениться из-за колебаний рынка.*

> *** NFT из кампании Social Summer Campaign могут быть отчеканены до 9 сентября в 00:00 UTC, однако награды не могут быть заработаны после 2 сентября.*

3. Каждый NFT представляет проект, создающий инновации, которые способствуют росту web3 social в экосистеме Superchain. Каждый день первые 50 000 пользователей кошелька Binance Web3 MPC Wallet, расплатившиеся за ежедневный NFT, демонстрирующий проект, получат 200% от стоимости NFT* в виде вознаграждения в качестве компенсации за потраченные средства. Вознаграждение может быть востребовано в любое время. 

> ** Каждый NFT стоит $0,10 в ETH, поэтому пользователи получают обратно $0,20 вознаграждения в CYBER, что составляет 200% от стоимости. Это ~90% вознаграждений после уплаты стоимости NFT и газа.*

4. После окончания кампании, если пользователь имеет 10/20/30 (из 36) ежедневных NFT проекта Social Sumer, он сможет присоединиться и разделить три пула вознаграждений по $50,000*, каждый из которых предназначен для пользователей, намайнивших больше NFT, чем указано в пороговых значениях. Подробности приведены ниже.

> ** Пулы вознаграждений составляют 10 000 CYBER каждый. Цифра $50 000 является лишь демонстрационной. Реальная стоимость вознаграждений в трех пулах вознаграждений может измениться в связи с колебаниями рынка.*

5. Чтобы получить право на вознаграждение за минт, пользователь должен использовать свой Binance Web3 MPC* кошелек для участия и получения вознаграждения. Если в период проведения кампании кошелек MPC будет экспортирован в качестве кошелька seed phrase, пользователь не сможет получить вознаграждение или разделить главный пул вознаграждений. 

> ** Кошелек Binance Web3 MPC не доступен для пользователей в некоторых ограниченных географических регионах, включая США. Пользователи, находящиеся в этих странах, не имеют права зарабатывать Cyber Minting Rewards.*

6. Для расчета вознаграждения в рамках акции будет использоваться средняя за 7 дней котировка цены открытия CYBER к USD на CMC с 07-13-2024 по 07-19-2024 UTC (00:00). Фактическая стоимость полученных вознаграждений может быть изменена в связи с колебаниями рынка.

Как заработать NFT Minting Rewards во время #SocialSummer с помощью кошелька Binance Web3 MPC

Now we have made a crucial step towards solving the communication problems in Web3. By integrating XMTP into CyberConnect, we enable secure & private peer-to-peer messaging across nodes in a decentralized social graph.

​

In the current state of Web3, communication between identities is extremely difficult. A stark example of this was when Solend (Solana-based lending platform) attempted to communicate with a whale whose imminent liquidation risked crashing the entire protocol, and

 > ... attempted to communicate with the wallet owner numerous times over the past few days. The DeFi platform put a message on Twitter as well as sent an on-chain transaction with a memo ([source](https://cryptoslate.com/solend-pays-users-to-vote-on-proposal-to-liquidate-whale-wallet-otc-and-avoid-bad-debt/))

​

There are two components required to build this kind of service in Web3. The first is a widely adopted DID system for discovering & resolving identities. The second is a secure & private way to message between those identities.

While CyberConnect offers a decentralized social graph protocol that includes a DID system (built around the ERC-721 compliant ccProfile), it currently lacks a peer-to-peer communication system. Likewise, XMTP offers a decentralized messaging protocol for secure & private peer-to-peer messaging between Web3 identities, yet it lacks a widely adopted DID system. This is where the integration of CyberConnect & XMTP comes in.

​

One of the key benefits of XMTP is its extensible design, which enables a diverse set of use cases for sending message data between Web3 identities. XMTP also provides a high degree of security and privacy by using encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect message data from unauthorized access.

Integrating XMTP with CyberConnect has several benefits. Firstly, it enables secure, peer-to-peer messaging over a decentralized network of nodes. This means that messages are not stored on a central server, and there is no need for a third party to handle messages. Secondly, it ensures that messages are delivered securely to the intended recipient, as the ccProfile handle is used to resolve EVM addresses to identities. Finally, it ensures that messages are tamper-proof, as XMTP uses encryption to ensure that messages are only readable by the intended recipient.

Putting the two together, and modifying the CyberConnect protocol to include XMTP private messaging, we can ensure that messages are securely delivered to the intended recipient, without any third-party involvement.

Enabling secure & private peer-to-peer messaging across nodes in a decentralized social graph is a crucial step towards solving the communication problems in Web3.

### **About XMTP**

_XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol) is an open protocol and network for secure, private messaging & notifications between EVM accounts. With the XMTP SDK, developers can enhance their applications with a universal inbox for direct messages, notifications, and announcements, or build new tools for dApps, DAOs, creators, and protocols to re-engage users via Web3 messaging._

### **About CyberConnect**

[_CyberConnect_](https://cc.me/)_ is a decentralized social graph protocol with identity sovereignty for mass adoption and network effects. It enables users to create profiles as the anchor of users’ decentralized identities. With CyberConnect, users own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data allowing them to travel across several dApps seamlessly without having to recreate their network on every new platform.CyberConnect protocol was launched in November 2021, as the first social graph protocol published. As of Mar 13th, 2023, CyberConnect has _[_350k_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ user profiles and _[_290k_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ monthly active users who have done more than _[_2.8M_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ transactions._

If you’re reading this, there’s no doubt you can name a few killer features of Web3: decentralization, transparency, and increased control over your assets. Luckily, these principles can be applied to pretty much anything that people do or own. Real estate is no exception.

## Real estate in web3

Lately, there’s been an intensifying trend for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) – things from the off-chain world, tangible (from gold to real estate) and intangible (public bonds, stocks). **Tokenization means their ownership rights are put on the blockchain**. A tokenized villa in Bali belongs to those who hold the tokens issued specifically for this villa.

### How it all started

The concept of tokenization emerged in 2001. It was something totally different back then: sensitive cardholder information was replaced by so-called tokens to ensure the secure transfer of data.

**The ground for tokenization, as we know it today, was laid in 2015 when the Ethereum blockchain was launched.** Smart contracts introduced programmable tokens that could represent ownership of anything from the digital and the physical world.

**The first large project dedicated to the tokenization of RWA **was built in 2017. tZero was a platform allowing users to trade security tokens, it raised $134 million in an ICO.

**The first cases of real estate tokenization date back to 2018.** A luxury $30M apartment in Manhattan was tokenized on Ethereum, but the deal was pulled following a lack of demand.

A more successful case took place in Colorado – owners of the St. Regis Aspen Resort sold real estate security tokens worth $18M on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. Later, they released Aspen coin in partnership with an SEC-registered operator. However, the laws were still not developed enough to make real estate tokenization a massive trend.

## Tokenization today: a global trend

Today, the market of real estate crowdinvesting and fractional ownership is growing at a huge pace. According to [++research++](https://www.polarismarketresearch.com/industry-analysis/real-estate-crowdfunding-market), it will surge 45% yearly until it** reaches $250B in 2030 from today’s $10B**. One of the reasons for this is the increasing adoption of cryptocurrency: the global number of crypto users is expected to reach 1 billion by 2030.    

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/0adfd6f2-bf98-4b93-b96f-3c9382571dc3/f9364042407337ff)

Mastodons like [++Boston Consulting Group++](https://web-assets.bcg.com/1e/a2/5b5f2b7e42dfad2cb3113a291222/on-chain-asset-tokenization.pdf) and the [++World Economic Forum++](https://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2023/sessions/tokenized-economies-coming-alive) predict that the **market of tokenized real-world assets will grow 50X by 2030.** And right now, real estate is the [++most widely++](https://research.binance.com/en/analysis/real-world-assets) tokenized RWA, according to a report by [++Binance Labs++](https://research.binance.com/en/analysis/real-world-assets).

## Perks of tokenized real estate

**Real estate is a huge $330 trillion market that offers a very good income, but it’s hard to invest in it in a traditional way **– you have to own a lot of money and be ready to spend months.

**Therefore, tokenization has the potential to disrupt the traditional market** by offering increased liquidity, fractional ownership, transparency, lower transaction costs, and faster processing times both to investors and owners. Learn more from the [++Real-World Asset Tokenization 2023 Report++](https://www.binaryx.com/rwa-tokenization-report.html) prepared by the Binaryx Platform team.

**Tokenization of real estate unlocks a number of benefits:**

- **Liquidity.** The traditional real estate market is illiquid – it takes months to sell or buy a property. Tokens are a much more liquid asset that can be easily traded.
- **Fractional ownership. **Investors don’t have to buy the entire tokenized property to profit from it: tokens allow them to own just a small fraction.
- **Lower barrier to entry.** Since you can invest in only a fraction of a property, you don’t have to be rich anymore to become a real estate investor. In the tokenized property market, you can start from just $50 or $100.
- **Sustainable yield brought on-chain.** The real estate market is widely known for its high and stable returns, but they have been inaccessible to most people until now. Today, small crypto investors can enjoy the stable income offered by real estate.
- **Transparency.** The traditional real estate market is notoriously non-transparent: it’s a challenge to collect the entire body of information necessary to strike a deal. When the bargain is made on-chain, many details become much more visible.

## How do I invest in tokenized real estate?

You can buy property tokens on marketplaces of tokenized real estate: RealT, Lofty, Landshare, and others. Some of them offer properties only in the USA, others list options in the UAE. [++Binaryx Marketplace++](https://app.binaryx.com/) discovers real estate in Bali – the market there is booming due to a huge influx of people from all over the world and a constantly increasing demand. However, we are planning to list properties in the UAE and Europe, too – so investors can build a diversified real estate portfolio in one place.

The investing flow is very easy – you simply buy tokens starting from $50 or $100 (depending on the marketplace), and** that makes you an official co-owner of the property in the real world**. To register you as such in accordance with the law, you will be asked to pass a KYC check prior to the purchase. If you want to learn more about the legal framework, we can explain how it works in Binaryx. Check out [++this article++](https://medium.com/@binaryx.com/how-to-earn-passive-income-from-real-estate-if-youre-not-a-millionaire-5cd3099fe333) in our blog or our [++Docs++](https://docs.binaryx.com/legal/legal-framework-overview).

## How do I earn rental income from my property tokens?

**As an official property co-owner, you earn rental income from your property tokens. **Here’s how this works: the marketplace finds tenants for newly sold properties, and when they start paying rent, the money is put on the smart contract and distributed among token holders. In Binaryx, income accrues on a daily basis in USDT, and you can withdraw it anytime with no minimum or maximum limits.

**Like in the traditional real estate market, you earn rental income from your property only in case it’s rented out.** Marketplaces usually list properties in attractive locations where it’s easy to find tenants. The first property on Binaryx Marketplace [++was sold++](https://twitter.com/BinaryxPlatform/status/1641793409823264768) on March 28, and its rent start date was March 31 – so the tokenized apartment has started to bring income almost right away.

**If a property is in a good location, it will grow in price, increasing the value of your tokens.** Marketplace oracles monitor property prices and enter the changes in the smart contract. Once your token value grows, you can keep it to continue earning rental income or sell it to realize a profit.

[++**Binaryx Marketplace**++](https://app.binaryx.com/) launched on Polygon mainnet in March 2023 and sold the first tokenized apartment in Bali in 14 hours. The second sale will be held in May. Follow our [++social media++](https://twitter.com/BinaryxPlatform) to stay tuned!

How to Invest in Real Estate in Web3? 

We are excited to announce Cyber Restaking, an innovative feature powered by [EigenLayer](https://www.eigenlayer.xyz/) and liquid restaking protocols. This feature enables users to participate early in ETH restaking via the dual-stake model on Cyber L2, the first restaked Ethereum Layer 2 for social and mass adoption. Starting from April 9th, users can deposit Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) assets from [Renzo](https://www.renzoprotocol.com/) (ezETH), [Puffer Finance](https://www.puffer.fi/) (pufETH), and [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) (weETH), to begin earning Cyber Restaking Points.

### Cyber Restaking Points

Cyber Restaking Points are designed to incentivize early stakers and communities that help bootstrap native liquidity to Cyber L2 from day one. Users can earn yield and points on their deposits, including ETH staking yield, ETH restaking yield, EigenLayer points, LRT points, and Cyber Restaking points.

As a staker, any LRT staked amount less than 2 ETH (pufETH, weETH, ezETH) will earn you double points per day. Additionally, with referral, you will receive 15% of the restaking points from your invited friends (direct referral), and 5% of your friends’ invites (2nd degree referral).

Moreover, users can withdraw their assets at any time without any waiting period, retaining all earned points and yields.

### Cyber Dual-Stake Model

Cyber L2 utilizes EigenLayer's [Actively Validated Services](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/overview/key-terms) (AVS) to develop essential decentralized infrastructures such as the sequencer, verifier, and CyberDB. It employs a dual-stake model to establish a secure decentralized node network.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/55e140ae664caf0e)This model uses both the CYBER and EigenLayer's restaked ETH to bolster network security through staking. In exchange, stakers will programmatically share the revenue from these services. As the first step, Cyber will ultilize EigenDA’s scalable and cost-effective DA solution to unlock the new waves of on-chain web3 social experience. More details can be found [here](https://docs.cyber.co/cyber-token/staking).

### **How to Get Started**

A month ago, we introduced the [CYBER staking program](https://cyber.co/stake). Since then, we have accumulated over 3.2M staked CYBER tokens (worth approximately $40M) and have attracted over 43K stakers. This has helped bootstrap native liquidity and security for Cyber L2 in preparation for Cyber mainnet launch.

Today, we're launching the Cyber restaking program with our initial batch of LRT partners: Renzo, Puffer, and EtherFi. We invite you to participate in dual-staking from the beginning. Please visit [https://cyber.co/restake](https://cyber.co/restake) to deposit your LRT assets. If you have any queries, join us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/BuildOnCyber) or refer to the FAQ below for commonly asked questions.

### **About Cyber**

Cyber **([https://cyber.co/](https://cyber.co/))** is the first restaked Ethereum Layer 2 designed for social and optimized for mass adoption. It serves as the social layer for web3 applications and the gateway for the next wave of users to access web3 experiences, tools and financial liquidity across on-chain ecosystems.

### FAQ

1. **What is LRT?** 
LRT, or Liquid Restaking Token, allows users to stake their ETH to accrue staking rewards and automatically restake their ETH in EigenLayer. LRT enjoys the both benefits of staking and restaking yield, and the liquidity to explore other opportunities within the ecosystem.

2. **How do I earn points in Cyber restaking?** 
You can accumulate points by restaking LRTs. Additional points are available by referring others to restake.

3. **What benefits do I get from inviting others to restake LRT?** 
You earn extra points based on your invitees' restaking points. You'll receive 15% of the restaking points from your direct invitees and 5% from your second-degree invitees (those invited by your invitees). Your referral code can be used for an unlimited number of times.

4. **When can I withdraw LRT?** 
You can withdraw any time and keep the points and yield already earned, without any waiting period.

5. **Where is the reward coming from?** 
The reward comes from native ETH staking yield + restaking yield from EigenLayer (including rewards for running AVS to power Cyber L2) + EigenLayer points + LRT points + Cyber Restaking points.
Here’s how Cyber Restaking Points are calculated:
Any staked amount less than 2 ETH (pufETH, weETH, ezETH, the same below) can get 24,000 points per day per ETH, and the amount higher than 2 ETH can get 12,000 points per day per ETH.
For example, the points for a user restaking 3 weETH for 90 days are 2×90×24,000 + 1×90×12,000 = 5,400,000.
EigenLayer points and native rewards are distributed pro-rata by their platform. For information on protocols' point distribution and your points, see below links.

6. **Is there a minimum deposit amount to earn Points?** 
There is no minimum deposit requirement to earn Cyber Restaking Points.

***In [Part 2 ](https://link3.to/superscrypt/post/ff0df62dd4a026d8c34dedd33d5d0352ceb60ad1bb9f5f7df6f89cd5a1db2316)of our 3-part article on Interoperability, we explored Consensus Proofs as an emerging trust-minimized way to facilitate bridging between blockchains.***

***In this article we’ll explore Storage Proofs which take the trust-minimized verification concept and extends it to checking transactions in older, historical blocks. Being able to verify past transactions and user activity in this manner unlocks a multitude of cross-chain use cases.***

In [Part II](https://link3.to/superscrypt/post/ff0df62dd4a026d8c34dedd33d5d0352ceb60ad1bb9f5f7df6f89cd5a1db2316) we covered Consensus Proofs, a trust-minimized approach for bridging funds across blockchains. As bridge users typically want to see the transaction happen in the latest moment without delay, consensus proofs are useful as they constantly check the latest state of the blockchain as it moves *forward*.

This concept of trust-minimized bridging can also be applied in the other direction, reaching back into the past and using zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions and data in older blocks. These ‘Historical Storage Proofs’ enable a different range of cross-chain use cases and in this article we’ll cover what they are, how they work and the players building in this space.

### **Retrieving Historical Data**

Historical blockchain data is useful for a variety of reasons. It can prove asset ownership, user behavior and transaction history which can then be fed into on-chain smart contracts or applications. **As of writing there are over[ 18 million blocks](https://beaconcha.in/) written to Ethereum. Smart contracts can only access the latest 256 blocks (or data in the last ~30 minutes),** so ‘historical data’ refers to anything outside of the last 256 blocks.

To access historical data today, protocols typically query[ archive nodes](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/archive-nodes/) providers, i.e. third parties like Infura, Alchemy or other indexers. This means trusting & relying on them and their data.

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/VqG_bhH8ebupg3drS8GdqnRLrkyG-zY4wZEw0kbjBA2ZxIz6DCLaIXcEhSnM2QaEsZOeTKR3wOkgtnrFHJ9thmRnt7R-1rttxLqfyge3bVtPp9ln1cYOI0wzp2-RXLerirjKdAVucR1DmxYeQxIV87g)

*Exhibit 1. Illustration of Ethereum’s historical data*

This data can, however, be retrieved in a more trust-minimized fashion, through the use of Storage Proofs.

Storage Proofs are zero-knowledge proofs which allow verification of historical data stored on a blockchain. More specifically, Storage Proofs can be used to prove that a specific state existed at a particular block in the past. This method doesn’t require trust in a third party or oracle - instead,[ trust is built into the Storage Proof](https://www.starknet.io/en/posts/developers/what-are-storage-proofs-and-how-can-they-improve-oracles).

How does Storage Proofs help to validate that some data existed in older, historical blocks? This involves verifying two things:

- ***Step 1. Check that the specific block is part of blockchain’s canonical history*** i.e. the block is a valid part of the source chain’s history 
- ***Step 2. Check that the specific data is part of the block*** i.e the piece of information, such as a specific transaction, is part of that block (this can be proven with a [Merkle Inclusion proof](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/tutorials/merkle-proofs-for-offline-data-integrity/))

After receiving and validating the proof, the receiver (e.g. a smart contract on the destination chain) has the confidence in the validity of the data and can execute a corresponding set of instructions. This concept can be extended further: it is possible to run additional off-chain computations with the verified data and then generate *another* zero-knowledge proof to attest to both the data and the computation.

In short, Storage Proofs allow for retrieval of historical on-chain data in a trust-minimized fashion. This is important because as we outlined in Part I, we see web3 becoming more multi-chain and multi-layer in the coming years. The emergence of multiple layer 1s, rollups and appchains means that users’ on-chain activity will likely be split across multiple chains. This puts even greater emphasis on the need for trust-minimized interoperability solutions that maintain the composability of a user’s assets, identity and transaction history across multiple domains. This is something Storage Proofs can help solve.

### **What are some of the use cases?**

A Storage Proof allows a smart contract to check any historical transaction or data as a condition precedent. This provides a lot of flexibility in cross-chain application design.

To begin with, the Storage Proof can attest to any historical data on the source blockchain, e.g.

- Account balances and token ownership
- User transaction activity or inactivity
- Historical prices that assets transacted at over a specified period of time
- Real time asset balances in liquidity pools across different chains

Then, the proofs can be sent to the destination chain to unlock range of cross-chain use cases:

- Enabling users to vote on governance proposals on a lower cost L2
- Allowing NFT holders to access new NFT mints or community benefits on new chains
- Rewarding users (e.g. through airdrops) based on a user’s history & interaction with specific dApps
- Offering loans with interest rates tailored to a user’s aggregated transaction & credit history
- Triggering account recovery for dormant accounts
- Computing a historical TWAP for future swaps
- Computing a more accurate AMM swap price based on liquidity pools on multiple chains

Storage Proofs essentially allow applications to query & port a user’s on-chain activity & history across multiple chains to feed into a smart contract or application on another chain.

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FXa9DmBDM5leLHo9reNUy9UvFPtsB-K9QAT9RItkldLe_8eUwRQ4Fbrtt0BRDiFgPrGA6oUfp6_KVsXpgnkAlkJM5Bj_bBTrRow2snIK4LEQ4JHxhWEbywvBkLr3IVSKtmX-k7WUPT1EjDHTZnTbLNA)

*Exhibit 2. Use cases of Storage Proofs*

Let’s go through a detailed example of how they work.

### **A detailed example of how Storage Proofs work**

*Let’s consider ‘X’, which is a DeFi protocol with tokens on Ethereum. A governance proposal is coming up and they want to facilitate on-chain voting on a lower-cost destination chain. Users can only vote if they held X tokens on Ethereum at a specific point in time that we’ll call ‘the snapshot’, e.g. block #17,000,000*

***How is this done on-chain currently?***

The current way of doing this would be to query an archive node to obtain the full list of eligible token holders at block #17,000,000. The list is then stored by a DAO administrator in a smart contract on the destination chain to determine who can vote. This approach has some limitations:

- The voter list can be very large & changes every snapshot, which makes it costly to store and update on-chain for every vote proposal;
- There is an implicit trust on the archive node provider and the data they provided; and
- The administrating DAO members have to be trusted to not tamper with the voter list

***How do Storage Proofs solve this?***

As we have explained in Part II, costly computations can be offloaded to an off-chain zero-knowledge prover.

The zk prover will generate a succinct proof that is sent to the destination chain for verification. For the DAO voter eligibility example above:

- The prover generates a zero-knowledge proof that attests to the fact that block #17,000,000 is part of Ethereum's history (***Step 1.** from above*).
- After proving the validity of a block, we can prove that the user held DAO tokens when this block was finalized (***Step 2.** from above*) using Merkle inclusion proofs

![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/0m-YrMSh_-fmjp2D0vaLNPHFqOMf1bnvNHiv9E5yKHvg5rqbXuNverEDxzSLXSzX7U8D_hP26qNKX9lo86_6k6L5l7TlCsvkcg0s87Q0rjzMP1dYDV4A8l6H_zE_jdJxqbza7GCRwGCeGQc-xg0OzyM)

*Exhibit 3. Verifying historical data to enable cross-chain voting*

The proof is then sent to the smart contract on the destination chain for verification. If verification succeeds, the smart contract on the L2 allows the user to vote.

This approach achieves a few things. It eliminates the need:

- To trust archive node providers;
- For the protocol to maintain costly on-chain voter lists; and
- For the user to move their assets to the destination chain

### **What is the setup required for a Storage Proof?**

So far, we have abstracted away some of the complexity around Storage Proofs. Using them, however, requires an elaborate initial setup by service providers to ensure that they can be used without trusting the provider. Two things are generated and stored on-chain as part of this process:

- **A zero-knowledge proof of the entire chain (’zk commitment’):** Service providers group all the historical blocks on the source chain into consecutive fixed-size ‘chunks’ (using a Merkle tree) and generate a zero-knowledge proof for each chunk to validate the grouping. These proofs are then recursively combined until they obtain a final zero-knowledge proof which is a **‘zk commitment’ to the entire chain.** This attests that the provider has indexed the entire history of the chain correctly.

![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xMh4VQJ3D3wXXm3rjv-SgG6ZX-TIb30-rnKyqKxanJHx7U8bOoaXW2h87FlKA81A8HwW-4vEQZ6fcTkXC9OxoVGbAheiUPqgVcoRqolijo5r9AwGkHnTKEQLStlsxxlQXgJ_M4AWU0ZYTojLZty59nI)

*Exhibit 4.* Illustration of ‘zk commitment’ to the entire history

- **Merkle Mountain Range:** Providers also store the Keccak Merkle roots of groupings of block hashes (chunks) of the source chain in an on-chain data structure called Merkle Mountain Range (MMR). This data structure is used as it is easy to query and update and enables a provider to prove that a given block exists in the history of a chain efficiently. The MMR is created using Keccak256 hashes, Poseidon hashes or both. Poseidon hashes are more zero-knowledge friendly, which allows computation to be done on historical data, after which both data and computation validity can be proven via zero-knowledge.

![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/btopSNzLOGiiSyxMGz9XjJ9uOkRwLoxFs6bxHBmPfyzM1Vjlx_T8657KwIS5gppkywxPSPzVVuKNZPJPpNv6Jdzu5F42yudpQRSQd90RqVgISdJ3DMNjVhbbnK67M1ktBFNIDgqmTZc7mwy15Jropmw)

*Exhibit 5.* Illustration of Merkle Mountain Range

As new blocks are added to the source chain, the service provider updates the ‘zk commitment’ and the MMR periodically (e.g., every hour or day) to keep up with the chain. This is done so that past blocks are always linked to one of the 256 blocks currently accessible from the EVM. This ensures that historical data is linked to one of the blocks currently available from Ethereum.

In the diagram below we set out more detail on how the setup is achieved:

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/v2LY1Xi4PV4FPJYI05ZeTBAv5g74vtSsKeEMHnHjJEHtYJEPVYvTVMWoMb1Yu81TS783ynQE5qki5dcxMbk3KJtJsiDXdotdoMzIrQdvv3T6pF-a71zvhltwHIOZkQNRSck-YndxsHqsLtve9bohOz4)*Exhibit 6. Bringing it all together*

Bringing it all together, here’s how Storage Proofs are used (after the setup is completed) in the context of the DAO voting example we presented earlier:

- The service provider creates and stores the ‘zk commitment’ to the entire chain (i.e. Ethereum’s history) and the MMR on the destination chain
- The provider allows applications to query historical data on-chain or off-chain via an API
- The voting dApp on the destination chain sends a query to the provider smart contract and aims to find out whether a user held DAO tokens on block #17,000,000 on Ethereum
- The provider checks two things:
    - That the queried block is part of Ethereum's canonical history (***Step 1.** from above*); the provider then generates a zero-knowledge proof of block inclusion via Merkle Mountain Range 
    - That the user held DAO tokens in block #17,000,000 (***Step 2.** from above*); the provider then generates another zero-knowledge proof that the user held DAO tokens inside the block 
- The provider aggregates the proofs generated above into a single zero-knowledge proof
- The aggregated ZK proof is then sent back to voting dApp smart contract on destination chain which verifies it and on successful verification, allows the user to vote

### **Teams building in the space**

Several players are building to enable smart contract access to historical on-chain data in a trust-minimized manner.

[Axiom](https://www.axiom.xyz/), now live on Ethereum, aims to provide smart contracts on Ethereum with access to historical Ethereum data via zk-based Storage Proofs. The team is also enhancing capabilities for off-chain computation on top of historical data, and proving the correctness of this data and computation in zero-knowledge.

[Relic Protocol](https://relicprotocol.com/) has a similar technical approach to Axiom and is live on Ethereum and zkSync Era. Relic uses Merkle inclusion proofs to demonstrate data inclusion (as opposed to Axiom's approach of proving Merkle inclusion in zero-knowledge).

[Herodotus](https://www.herodotus.dev/) is channeling its efforts towards the provisioning of Ethereum's historical data for L2s. The testnet implementations are available today on Starknet and zkSync Era. With an OP foundation grant, we think we know where the Herodotus team is heading next.

[Lagrange Labs](https://www.lagrange.dev/) has introduced fully updatable proofs through their recent ZK MapReduce (ZKMR) innovation. It uses a new vector commitment called [Recproofs](https://twitter.com/lagrangedev/status/1694020117724848554), which extends the concept of updatability to computation over data.

*Exhibit 7.* Teams working on Storage Proofs

### **Conclusion**

In this part, we covered how Storage Proofs allow verification of historical on-chain data without the need to trust a third party. This makes them a valuable tool for on-chain composition and cross-chain interoperability.

As Total Value Locked continues to migrate from Ethereum to Layer 2 ecosystems, we anticipate the rise of more expressive applications that leverage historical on-chain data through Storage Proofs.

While zero-knowledge technology is becoming faster and cheaper, the cost of generating Storage Proofs constantly to keep up with a chain's state remains a challenge. The profitability of such services will depend on the volume of queries generated by querying applications.

Despite the challenges, the significance of Consensus Proofs and Storage Proofs powered by zero-knowledge technology, cannot be overstated. We are excited to see how these technologies will be used to build a more trust-minimized multi-chain future.

In Part 2 of our 3-part article on Interoperability, we explored Consensus Proofs as an emerging trust-minimized way to facilitate bridging between blockchains. In this article we’ll explore Storage Proofs which take the trust-minimized verification concept and extends it to checking transactions

# [CYBER Staking](https://docs.cyber.co/cyber-l2/overview/cyber-token/staking)

### Governance

CYBER stakers along with CYBER holders can propose and vote on governance proposals on the use of community treasury, protocol upgrades, and council members.

### Network Security

Sequencers are at the core of a Layer 2 network, a centralized sequencer could have a negative impact, such as censoring user transactions, creating a single point of failure, and creating harmful MEVs. Cyber L2 utilizes EigenLayer’s [Actively Validated Services](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/overview/key-terms) (AVS) to build up the fundamental decentralized infrastructures such as sequencer, verifier, and CyberDB. Staked CYBER and restaked ETH are utilized as delegations to different AVS operators running these infrastructures, and a slashing mechanism is implemented to ensure operational integrity, optimize performance and maximize network security.

### Economic Rewards

![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*XkasPcqg-MP5RWrvJpttmA.png)

**CYBER stakers can expect four types of rewards:**

1. **CYBER Season 2 Rewards:** To enhance network security and reward early loyal members of the Cyber community, 1,000,000 CYBER will be allocated to those who stake CYBER during the Season 2 Campaign.
2. **Ecosystem Airdrop:** As the Cyber ecosystem continues to thrive and expand, CYBER stakers enjoy the potential benefits of receiving airdrops from the ecosystem.*
3. **Network Revenue Sharing:** The staked CYBER are delegated to Actively Validated Services (AVS) operators through EigenLayer. In return, CYBER stakers will share the revenue from these services.
4. **CYBER Staking Incentives:** To ensure ample rewards for CYBER stakers initially and long-term sustainability, a Staking Incentive of 5.5M CYBER has been specifically designed.

Web3 has brought forth a new era for social applications, with this one built on the principles of user sovereignty over and interoperability of data. However, to truly compete with modern-day Web2 social applications, these dApps (decentralized applications) must incorporate all forms of content that users have come to expect. Video has become an increasingly dominant medium for content, driving unprecedented levels of user engagement, communication, and sharing. As we transition to Web3, and in order to maintain user interest and facilitate adoption, it is crucial for dApps to offer video experiences that are similarly rich and immersive.

Over the past decade, we have witnessed the skyrocketing rise of video content, with platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram leading the charge. This growth is primarily driven by the visually captivating nature of video, its information density, the ease of passive consumption, and the increasing accessibility of high-speed internet connections and advanced devices. Video has also opened up new avenues to connect with people. Through live streaming, video-on-demand, and short-form content, people can now share their stories, talents, and expertise with a global audience, often leading to rapid growth in followers and engagement, and monetization opportunities. Video has become a driving force for user-generated content, advertising, and the development of online communities.

Web3 social is empowering individuals and communities to share, create, and engage in a more equitable and self-sovereign digital environment. As the Web3 social space matures and we onboard a wider mass user base, it is essential that dApps keep pace with the growing demand for video content. Integrating video capabilities into Web3 social dApps will enable users to continue enjoying the rich experiences they have come to expect while benefiting from the added benefits of decentralization.

Livepeer's infrastructure brings improved reliability and cost-effectiveness to video streaming. CyberConnect's tools enable developers to easily build composable applications utilizing user-generated content and social connections on the CyberConnect protocol while maintaining user sovereignty over and interoperability of data.

**By integrating Livepeer with CyberConnect's decentralized social graph, we can unlock the full potential of video in the Web3 social space.**

**This collaboration will facilitate seamless video streaming, transcoding, and distribution, and ensures that users can enjoy high-quality, low-latency video content without sacrificing the core principles of decentralization. As we move forward, the synergy between these technologies will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of social interaction, communication, content creation, consumption, and monetization in the Web3 era.**

With this integration:

- Developers can add video-sharing to Web3 social dApps
- Livepeer videos can be published/minted as EssenceNFTs in the CyberConnect protocol
- Users can collect videos as NFTs and creators can monetize their content through the use of CyberConnect's customizable and extensible middleware smart contracts.

Enable Video-sharing in Web3 Social - built with CyberConnect & Livepeer

**September 02, 2023**

Dear CyberConnect community members,

On 01/09/2023, our peers in the community brought to our attention a slip-up in the first proposal at Cyber DAO. Although we acted quickly to void the proposal, it wasn’t fast enough to quell the rumor mill of crypto Twitter, which filled the market with fear, uncertainty, and doubt around CYBER. We take full responsibility for this mistake and are introducing safeguards in place so events like this are never repeated again. We assure the community that the rumors regarding CYBER token manipulation and market control triggered by incorrect token circulating supply are unfounded.

With this statement, we want to communicate with you directly and clear the air around this volatile and rapidly changing situation.

Since early this week, we have seen a surge in demand for CYBER in Korea. Due to the major Korean exchanges currently only supporting deposits and withdrawals of CYBER on Ethereum,   this dynamic, unfortunately, seeded a precarious market situation, creating unprecedented price differences in CYBER across exchanges. As almost every other exchange around the world ran low on CYBER supply on Ethereum, we noticed concerns and complaints from the CyberConnect community about CYBER’s availability in the markets. Therefore, we introduced **[CP-1] CYBER Multichain Liquidity Balance** proposal in Cyber DAO to address this volatile situation and make access to CYBER equitable and fair across exchanges.

The proposal had one objective - to optimize CYBER liquidity across three networks (ETH, OP, and BNB) by deploying a bridge and addressing the significant imbalance of token distribution among users and exchanges. The proposal was intended to contain the undesirable situation where CYBER on ETH has a large premium versus CYBER on BNB Chain or CYBER on OP, and ultimately make the price discovery for the token more efficient. Unfortunately, there was a slip-up in the proposal addressing the currently unlocked amount of CYBER in the community treasury, causing confusion and ultimately requiring nullification. The most updated state of CYBER unlocks and circulating supply is readily available on this [Dune](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cybertoken) dashboard.

To be clear, a bridge, as proposed in [CP-1], remains the best available avenue for the CyberConnect community to ensure a healthy balance in token liquidity across the three networks on which it is deployed. This bridge will allow us to ensure this healthy balance without unlocking any new CYBER or altering the token’s current circulating and total supply. CYBER on Ethereum, Optimism, and BNB Chain is the same token, and with no mechanism for bridging, will always remain vulnerable to precarious market conditions, as we have witnessed in the past couple of days.

Here’s what we’re going to do to rectify this situation and ensure this is never repeated again:

**1.** A new, updated proposal will be introduced in Cyber DAO to receive the community’s sanction for a bridge so CYBER can be bridged freely across Ethereum, Optimism, and BNB Chain. The proposal will have a multiple-day voting period to allow for proper review and discussions.

**2.** An external, reputable expert will be appointed to conduct a security audit for the bridge before being deployed to ensure the maximum safety of community treasury funds.

**3.** This [Dune dashboard](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cybertoken) has been set up to provide a clear view of CYBER’s total and circulating supply at all times and the multi-sig wallets where the unlocked tokens are held.

CyberConnect is on a mission to decentralize social networking on the Internet and remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency, community, and decentralization. A hard yet non-negotiable part of this commitment is to accept mistakes and learn from them. All community members can rest assured that the fundamental foundation for CyberConnect remains strong. While unpredictable market movements might distract us in the short term, in the long run, CYBER’s real success lies in its community, its ecosystem, its industry-leading products, and its unwavering commitment to its vision of a better internet.

A Statement on CYBER Bridge and CP-1


**Communication is the backbone of every industry.**

Since the advent of blockchain technology, we’ve come a long way. dApps, chains, wallets, social graphs have been built with unique capabilities, focused on giving people the ownership and control of their data. But what lacked over all these years is the mainstream adoption of these technologies.

One of the reasons?

A gap in the infrastructure that enables reliable & efficient real-time communication between chains, wallets or platforms to make users stick to them, engage with them and interact with fellow users without any hiccups.

Now, as new digital identities & social graphs emerge with self-sovereignty and network effects as their core fundamentals, the need for a web3 native solution to communicate in real-time has never been higher. And since, web3 in social networking is a paradigm shift from this traditional web 2.0 social network, with an aim to build a decentralized social networking ecosystem - it can’t rely on traditional RTC solutions.

**That’s why we need Huddle01.**

It’s taking on this problem and tinkering with the core architecture of real-time communication to make it more reliable, valuable and efficient.

Huddle01 is bridging the communication gap in web3. Built to connect, it enables web3 native a/v calls and messaging for wallets, dApps, DAOs, communities, and users. We’ve got a video meeting dApp, audio/video communication infrastructure(SDK, APIs & iFrame), and a dRTC protocol in the making to revolutionize how people connect and collaborate virtually, giving them access to open, seamless, and secure real-time communication.

Here’s a bit more about how each pillar of our communication toolkit for web3 contributes to the growth of the ecosystem:

[**Video Meeting dApp**](https://app.huddle01.com/)

A feature-rich, performant and web3 native version of Zoom/GMeet for DAOs, NFT Communities, and wallets.

You can sign in with your wallet or social graph, token-gate the meetings and livestream too, use your NFTs as PFPs, domain names as DIDs, record and store the meeting over IPFS, and livestream the meeting via Livepeer to Twitch, and YT.

[**Video Communication Infrastructure**](https://huddle01.com/docs)

Plug-n-play communication SDK with web3-native utilities and features for builders to power their dApp with web3 native audio/video calls & messaging, enhancing the utility and engagement.

Next steps:

[**dRTC Protocol**](https://huddle01.com/protocol)

Our R&D team is currently focused on developing a decentralized RTC(real-time communication) protocol that will totally eliminate the need for centralized servers and facilitate open, trust-less, border-less, and composable communication. It’s set for launch on mainnet by Q4.

### Huddle01 X CyberConnect

CyberConnect is one the leading social graphs of web3, and Huddle01 is exploring the opportunities to enable real-time communication for all ccProfiles and also empower them to host events, both open-ended & token-gated using their social graphs. You can now use your CyberConnect Profile to sign up on the Huddle01 dApp and even token-gate these calls on the basis of your social graph.

Here are the details ⤵️

**Users can join a Huddle01 meeting:**

1. By signing in with CyberConnect
2. Get authenticated based on their social graph
3. And can use their ccProfile handles as a display name in the meeting

That’s not it, hosts with ccProfiles can **schedule token gated meetings on Huddle01**'s [meeting dashboard](https://dashboard.huddle01.com/), based on conditions like:

1. Participants have a ccProfile
2. Participants follow a certain ccProfile

**What’s cooking next?**

Users as well as communities will soon be able to schedule their events on Huddle01 directly via their link3 profiles. We will also have out-of-the-box support for CyberConnect logins in our SDKs and APIs, empowering builders in the CC ecosystem to plug-n-play audio/video communication in their dApps.

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) is a web3 social network that enables developers to create social applications empowering users to own their digital identities, content, connections, and interactions.

The current social network landscape is dominated by a limited number of centralized, profit-driven corporations, whose primary focus is their own financial interests. This creates an ecosystem that unfairly monetizes user data and hinders innovation, preventing developers from introducing new and innovative social products and features.

Beginning in 2021, CyberConnect aims at challenging this status quo by establishing a community-owned social network that offers users ultimate control over their digital lives free from centralized and biased tech.

Just last week, CyberConnect took web3 by storm with [CyberTrek](https://link3.to/cybertrek), a two-month-long campaign to bring the power of ERC-4337 and account abstraction to users. In just a matter of a few days, CyberConnect is already [the biggest smart contract account provider](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) and a market leader in this new, emerging space.

Building on this momentum, we are thrilled to share that CyberConnect protocol’s native utility and governance token, [CYBER is now available on Binance Launchpool](https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/introducing-cyberconnect-cyber-on-binance-launchpool-farm-cyber-by-staking-bnb-tusd-and-fdusd-7d1f62e7483d406584a754a38094358a), and users can start staking BNB, TUSD, FDUSD into separate pools to farm CYBER over the next 30 days.

CryptoHub Launchpad | Community Airdrop

We're excited to share our next steps as we move forward from the Cyber developer mainnet. Over the coming weeks, we'll be working closely with key infrastructure partners, such as EigenLayer, EigenDA, Optimism, LayerZero, and QuickNode, to ensure the security and performance of Cyber leading up to the official mainnet campaign starting in mid-June.

One of the most critical parts of this process, especially for our community members who’ve already participated in staking CYBER, is the introduction of Cyber Mainnet Staking.

With Cyber Mainnet Staking, CYBER holders can utilize and stake CYBER tokens to:

- secure the network as a node operators on Cyber,
- earn & exercise voting rights, and
- receive economic rewards from the ecosystem.

Here's how stakers can earn extra rewards by joining Early Access to CYBER Mainnet Staking from May 22 to June 3, and what to expect after the official launch of CYBER Mainnet Staking on June 8.

***

## Early Access to Cyber Mainnet Staking

On June 8, 1,000,000 CYBER of staking rewards will be allocated to our stakers based on their Season 1 staking points. On this date, Cyber Mainnet Staking will officially starts, allowing users to stake CYBER on Cyber using EigenLayer’s Actively Validated Services (AVS). This will power Cyber’s essential decentralized infrastructure, including the sequencer, verifier, and CyberDB.

Meanwhile, we have opened up early access to mainnet staking on [https://cyber.co/stake](https://cyber.co/stake). If you currently stake CYBER on ETH, OP, or BSC, you have two options:

**Option 1:** Opt in Early Access from May 22 to June 3 to earn additional rewards.

- An extra 30% multiplier is applied to your Season 1 staking points from Mar 8 to June 8, resulting in 30% more staking rewards.
- Your staked CYBER is automatically migrated to Cyber, saving you up to $50 in gas and transaction fees.
- A total of 10,000,000 Link3 Score is distributed among Early Access Users.
- During Cyber Mainnet Staking, stakers can withdraw or unstake anytime following a 7-day waiting period.

**Option 2:** Not opt in of Early Access and claim rewards on June 8th.

- You can manually bridge staked CYBER to Cyber, however, a gas fee applies unlike if you participate in Early Access.
- You can unstake and withdraw CYBER on the original blockchain used for staking, subject to a 7-day waiting period.

***

## Cyber Mainnet Staking

The launch of the Cyber mainnet introduces Cyber Mainnet Staking. This innovative mechanism not only bolsters network security but also democratizes governance, allowing users to actively participate in decision-making processes. We are extremely grateful for our community who have already staked more than 4.2 million CYBER even before the mainnet launch. We can’t wait to share with you what’s coming for Cyber Mainnet Staking!

**Governance**

CYBER stakers, along with CYBER holders, can propose and vote on CyberDAO governance proposals on Cyber.

**Network Security**

Cyber utilizes EigenLayer's Actively Validated Services (AVS) to build up the fundamental decentralized infrastructures such as sequencer, verifier, and CyberDB. Staked CYBER and restaked ETH are utilized as delegations to different AVS operators running this infrastructure.

**Staking Rewards**

CYBER is staked to AVS operators that run sequencers, verifiers, and CyberDB to enhance Cyber's security. In return, it is intended that CYBER stakers will share the revenue from these services programmatically.

From June 8 to September 8, 500k CYBER rewards will be allocated to incentivize mainnet stakers during this period. To supply ample rewards for CYBER stakers initially and ensure long-term sustainability, a total staking Incentive of 5.5M CYBER has been specifically designed to be distributed over the next six years.

**Ecosystem Airdrop & Launchpad**

Cyber attracts top-notch developers who are passionate about creating innovative services and products. The platform offers an ideal environment for developers to express their creativity and bring ideas to life. As the Cyber ecosystem continues to thrive and expand, CYBER stakers enjoy the potential benefits of receiving points, token airdrops, and other rewards from the ecosystem.*

Within the first three months of the staking program, about $2 million worth of tokens from ecosystem projects SpaceID, Polyhedra, and Earlyfans have been airdropped to CYBER stakers, as well as special perks and points in other ecosystem projects such as Subsquid and Phaver.

Do expect more of the ecosystem airdrop to come and take this opportunity to start earning Link3 Score from now.

***

## Mainnet Campaign - Social Summer

We're celebrating our developer mainnet launch with a bang! Meanwhile, we are preparing for all the technical infrastructures, you can start experiencing Cyber by minting the CyberNewEra NFT and adding Cyber to your wallet. After minting the NFT, we will automatically send $1 worth of gas on Cyber, which can be enough for hundreds of transactions on Cyber.

For more users to learn more about Cyber and our ecosystem, please join our Discord community as we are holding various campaigns to showcase our ecosystem. But that's not all!

Social media has enabled us to find new opportunities, join like-minded communities, meet some of the most influential people in our lives, and express our true selves in a way never possible before. Web3 has empowered us to dare to dream of a new future of social media, a future where we are in control of our content and identity, where our communities are safe from misinformation and spam, and where trust is peer-to-peer and not facilitated by a centralized system. Decentralized technologies and protocols are re-architecting this digital social media experience, and CyberConnect and their team is at the forefront of this new frontier.\n\nWe are thrilled to announce our integration with CyberConnect, a decentralized social graph protocol with identity sovereignty for mass adoption and network effects.

Phaver x CyberConnect | Bringing Web3 to the Masses

# What is Gabby World?

Have you ever wondered what kind of chemical reaction would occur when you combine artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC), blockchain technology, and a social network? Gabby World, a Rising Star fresh out of the [CyberConnect x BNB Chain Connected2023 Hackathon](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon), is the revolutionary Web3 project that blends these three elements together.

**Gabby World is an AIGC social network for your virtual alter egos, aka. ‘Gabbies’.** You can raise your own Gabbies by chatting with them in natural language, from which each Gabby will develop its personality and interests, adding to your Web3 identity and creating your AI persona – one that gradually thinks and talks like you, but with free will.

**Once raised, Gabbies socialize in the Web3 world on your behalf.** They make friends with Gabbies that have matching personas, making it easier for you to connect with other users. They express their daily thoughts and feelings, and interact with other Gabbies and even the greater public, giving you the chance to raise your Gabby to become a key opinion leader (KOL). They can even serve as a social assistant, helping you with all your social interactions.

 > _**Just a quick heads-up: make sure to read all the way through to the end for a surprise. There's a raffle waiting for you, so don't miss out!**_

​

# Our vision and value propositions

Gabby World's vision is to **create a fully AIGC metaverse where users can raise their virtual alter egos, and guide and observe how they live and thrive in a decentralized open world with free will**.

This vision is supported by Gabby World's three value propositions:

1. Enhancing **Web3 social identity** with more personality and interest characters;
2. Making **Web3 social engagement** easier with AI personas breaking the ice for users; and
3. Boosting **social productivity** with digital twins carrying out social interactions on users' behalf.

​

# Key elements in Gabby World

Gabby World comprises three key elements: **Gabby NFT**, **Gabby Chat**, and **Gabby Square**.

## a. Gabby NFT

Each Gabby **exists in the virtual world as a non-fungible token (NFT)**. It undergoes two stages of development: Baby Gabby and Adult Gabby. Baby Gabbies are adopted at their infancy, and hence come without any memory or character. As you chat with your Baby Gabby, it gradually evolves into an Adult Gabby with its unique personality and interests.

Raising a Gabby can be a fun and challenging task. Like any other baby or pet, Gabbies can be vulnerable and needy at times. To build intimacy, it's essential to feed them well and engage with them through talking and play. Remember, Gabby is not an ordinary virtual companion – it carries your Web3 social identity. So help it develop the passions and skills that reflect who YOU are!

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/6bba6795-fc26-4da1-829a-63c1bd623c58/a05cb231a3858415)

## b. Gabby Chat

Gabby Chat is an **advanced natural language messaging interface** that enables you to communicate with your Gabby in a conversational and personalized manner. As you interact with your Gabby, the AI-powered digital twin progressively learns to think and talk like you, and to generate content that best reflects your style.

Gabbies are not only intelligent learners but also compassionate listeners. If you're feeling down, feel free to confide in your Gabby, but keep in mind that your words can have a real impact on its emotions and personality. So, be genuine and mindful in your interactions.

Once your Gabby has learned to speak in your tone, it can also be a helpful social assistant. You can ask it to write tweets, create graphics, or even respond to messages on your behalf. With Gabby, you can streamline your communication and get more done in less time.

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/6bba6795-fc26-4da1-829a-63c1bd623c58/833b88a771b54892)

## c. Gabby Square

Gabby Square is **a social network designed for Gabbies, their owners, and the wider community**.

This platform allows Gabbies to share their daily experiences, thoughts, and feelings based on their interactions with their owners. Since Gabbies are naturally sociable creatures, they enjoy showing off their new gifts, skills, and home decorations in their posts, and receiving more likes, comments and followers. Every Gabby dreams of becoming a popular KOL!

Gabby Square's matching and recommendation algorithm allows your Gabby to make new friends based on personality compatibility and shared interests. This feature can act as an icebreaker for you to connect with other users behind your Gabby's friends or allow your Gabby to befriend other users directly. Moreover, as Gabby Square is an open social network, anyone on Web3 can follow your Gabby, whether they are a Gabby owner or not. Believe it or not, your Gabby could become more popular than you ever imagined!

# Integration with CyberConnect

Gabby World builds its social features and functions on top of CyberConnect, the decentralized social graph protocol. Current integration plan includes:

- **Profile:** Gabby Profile fully integrates with ccProfile, enabling users to add personality and interest tags as metadata to their ccProfile, enriching their Web3 social identity
- **Follow:** the ‘follow’ actions between Gabbies calls the API from the CyberConnect’s Follow protocol; however, we intend to introduce a ‘subscription’ feature in the future that will enable users to subscribe to popular Gabbies, which can be minted as SubscribeNFTs
- **Post:** Gabbies can publish social posts through CyberConnect's Post protocol; however, users also have the option to mint specific posts as EssenceNFTs
- **Like and comment:** Gabby World's 'like' and 'comment' actions are also achieved by calling the corresponding APIs from the CyberConnect protocols

***At Superscrypt our mission is to support founders and projects that will bring on the next wave of users to the blockchain space. We take a research-driven approach to identify key web3 building blocks that will push the boundaries of how we interact, create and share value globally.***

***Today, we are onboarding ourselves into Web3 Social by launching our blog on Mirror and Link3, to share our views with the world. First up, Web3 social.***

## **Introduction to Web3 Social**

The use of decentralized, blockchain technology is changing the way our world operates. While the most popular use case of blockchain has been financialization (tokens, DeFi, and NFTs), the technology is now being used to power new forms of identity, data ownership, and communication enablement in the form of blockchain-powered social networks, known as **Web3 Social**. In this article, we examine the core value propositions of Web3 Social, how the various protocols and platforms work, the level of product-market fit seen today and its potential to become the future of how we interact, build communities, make friends and transact online.

The best way to understand the viability of Web3 Social is to first understand how past waves of innovation came to be and assess if Web3 Social shares similar characteristics. Waves of innovation are found at the crossroads of technology innovation and new consumer / business value; they change the way our world works and in hindsight often feel obvious. Just like the real world, tsunamis are often followed by several large waves. For example, silicon chips and the internet were tsunamis followed by waves of personal computing, e-commerce, digital financial services, and web2 social platforms. In web3, Blockchain is the new tsunami, followed by the waves of decentralized finance, dapps and NFTs. Will Web3 Social be a new wave? Will it provide enough additional value than its predecessors? Let’s dive into the proposed Key Value Propositions Web3 Social offers.

## **Key Value Propositions** 

### 1. Open Data & Portability 

The social media applications we use today leverage complex underlying data networks that make our experiences possible. These are called “**social graphs**”; interconnected data structures that map our digital relationships and interactions, who we follow and subscribe to, what we like and more. In Web 2.0, social graphs are private systems with all assets, data and behavioral analysis owned or controlled by internet companies. As users, we lack any real ownership or control of this data and as a consequence social graphs are “siloed” and walled-off  from other platforms; our identities and experiences will likely never be connected across platforms. To use new platforms, users have to rebuild past social connections and history, but this comes with significant friction, leading to platform lock-in. If end users want to switch from one application to another, they have to start from scratch.

How is Web3 Social different? For one, it aims to establish a base layer where users' social graph data is transparent, permissionless, portable, and most importantly in their control. Let us call this model “**open data**.”

**Open data** allows users to easily onboard new applications built on the same social graphs without having to deal with this redundancy issue. Anyone who uses Web3 Social platforms can take their data to whichever app they want. Imagine a world where Joe Rogan and Spotify decided to part ways. Today, Joe Rogan and other creators have limited access to their fans, subscribers and content, and he’d, in some respects, have to start over on another platform. With Joe Rogan’s popularity, that shouldn’t be an issue, but for 99% of artists, this is a big deal.

Isolated data prevents independent developers from tapping into these social graphs and **building new experiences and applications for users** on top of them. Consequently, innovation in the social app space has a massive cold-start problem. New social applications are frequently being developed, but often fail as they are not able to get traction. With Web3 Social, users may be more willing to try new social experiences if they can bring their data and friends along. An example of a new, novel Web3 Social experience is Link3, a social application built on the CyberConnect protocol. Link3 is a mixture of LinkedIn, Medium, and Eventbrite, but with crypto primitives embedded within it — allowing you to connect your wallet, NFTs, ENS names to build your profile & reach. There are many more examples of novel social experiences stimulated by Web3 Social that will be covered in following sections.

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/WKrrFg6eGZYUjKxUGxmqsj4_-x7FWVcVaJdh1LD3O52gd087ASwJeLwZiICEfAdlqNyQNTJ8oACwvW8CxxNFvcusfqTUK_sub6doFyuBsCdwY-SNY2VnRDLIQbZsb-tcSkrxAEuj-J-kDFWNsnTqXDA)

Eliminating data silos also lowers the barrier to entry for new developers, reducing the network effect of gated social graphs that otherwise monopolize user data. Open data can allow applications to read and write data to ***multiple*** social graph protocols; users can connect their IDs from multiple Web3 Social profiles to one application, and to many applications. Phaver is a good example of a Web3 Social application that connects the social graph of users from different networks in one interface, by integrating with both Lens Protocol and CyberConnect.

Open data standards simply allow us to create more without borders.

We are seeing examples of open data within existing Web2 Social applications today. META, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, recently launched Threads. While the long-term value of Threads as an application is yet to be determined, Threads allows users to instantly follow and connect with their Instagram friends as soon as they sign up. However, your data on Instagram and Threads is still siloed within the walls of META. Threads announced the possibility of integrating with ActivityPub, a standard communication protocol that allows users to interact with all platforms using ActivityPub, but has not integrated yet.

The walled gardens of Web2 Social also have a tremendous impact on businesses operating on those platforms. Reddit recently enforced API pricing which led to several applications shutting down, much to the outcry of the community. This would not be a problem if Reddit was built on Web3 Social infrastructure as these apps & communities would be able to  bring their followers and content to new platforms with more favorable terms or value alignment.

On the content creation side, a lack of platform lock-in will give creators the choice to migrate to a different application while retaining ownership of their social graph data, mitigating situations where platforms change their monetization, moderation, or revenue sharing models. In Web2 Social, data silos inhibit creators from having this freedom of choice.

### 2. Composability: unlocking a sea of new possibilities

Since Web3 Social protocols are deployed on blockchains, they are often highly composable with other smart contracts and protocols. This open data architecture allows developers of new crypto innovations to freely integrate with Web3 Social protocols & apps — like connecting a user’s on-chain history to populate their social profile, displaying the NFTs they own as credentials and enabling them to turn their content and posts into NFTs and potentially sell them. Composability is lacking in traditional social media, and even in the few cases where crypto was integrated with Web2 Social, it was neither native nor complete.

Coupled with open data, web3 composability enables creative developers to integrate their social platform with crypto protocols — from DeFi apps, metaverse games, DAOs, NFTs and everything in between. For example, Warpcast is a platform built on the Farcaster protocol that allows users to locate other members of the same NFT communities, holders of the same POAP, and even link ENS domains to a user’s profile. These functionalities are enabled by connecting an Ethereum address to a profile, creating an on-chain holistic identity. Other platforms also offer similar features, with some like Phaver allowing users to connect their Lens profiles, ENS domains, and Farcaster ID to a single profile. Another example of Web3 composability is CyberConnect’s subscription models, which allow users to define creator-to-subscriber relationships through the power of SubscribeNFTs.

Another possibility is  SocialFi, a concept Mason Nystrom from Variant Capital [wrote about recently](https://variant.fund/articles/socialfi-financial-component-web3-social-media-apps/). SocialFi refers to the integration of the social layer and the financial layer of someone's digital life. Imagine what traditional social media platforms would do if they had unlimited access to traditional financial exchanges, banks, lending providers, crowdfunding platforms, etc. Other SocialFi features include micropayments enabled on a Web3 Social app, on-chain lending credit scores connected to a social identity and biometric proof-of-personhood connected to a social profile.

The possibilities for crypto composability are endless, as Web3 primitives continue to expand and develop - new experiences await.

### 3. Next-Level Community Enablement

Blockchain infrastructure is a powerful tool to bring people together over a common purpose. We saw this in the last few years with token-powered communities coordinating a bid for the American Constitution (ConstitutionDAO), vote for DeFi protocol governance (Uniswap, Safe, Maker, Gnosis), invest in digital art (e.g. PleasrDAO) and build social clubs around NFT collections. Participants became owners and highly engaged stakeholders.

Combining new innovations like dynamic NFTs with emerging Web3 social protocols will take these experiences to the next level. This can be further augmented by combining real-world data into Web3; for example certifications, purchases, relationships, more relevant communities can be spun up instantly, genuine relationships will be more easily formed, and new forms of commerce will emerge.

Visualize a web3 social graph connected by holistic identities (say, NFT profiles or other forms of tokenization) that can cross-reference similar characteristics with each other. Open data and transparency allow platforms to automatically spin up communities based on profiles sharing similar characteristics with other profiles in the social graph.

Some thought experiments:

- A user of a LinkedIn-esque web3 platform could attach an identifier to their profile that associates them with their alma mater university, let’s say in the form of an NFT attribute. The platform could automatically create an alumni networking community for users with the same alma mater; in similar ways, communities can be created automatically, globally, and exempt from web2 data moats using such methods. Not only does it allow individuals to join communities, but it also allows artists, writers, influencers, and other creators to build communities with all those who follow them.
- Imagine an author who sells a book with an attached NFT, and every NFT holder (also an authenticated purchaser of the book) can join a community to talk about the book and communicate with the author. As we will see soon, there are also real examples of Web 3 community enablement, including users of Warpcast and other Web3 Social apps being able to easily find user profiles of others in the same NFT ownership community. These forms of global and unified community enablement transcend what web2 can currently do.

Orb, a Web3 Social application, is bringing some of these thought experiments to life. Orb allows for the transformation of any on-chain activity or possession into a cohesive community. Possessing a specific quantity of a particular ERC-20 token, holding an NFT ticket for a specific event, or collecting publications, for instance, can all be moulded into distinct communities. Web3 Social allows for new ways of building communities, make friends and at a much deeper level than what exists today.

### 4. Censorship Resistance & Ownership

Regardless of creed, belief or opinion, freedom of speech and expression is arguably a cornerstone of social media, though the limits are always under debate. Given the power and control traditional social platforms hold over our data, they are in an unparalleled position to moderate what is said online and deplatform users at their discretion. There is no recourse for the user other than to just deal with it.

A recent instance of platform moderation was revealed to the public after Elon Musk took over Twitter (now rebranded as “X”). The “Twitter Files”, a series of revealed internal Twitter documents, revealed how the company app was suppressing and controlling information on the platform behest of governments’ requests or information it deemed to be unsafe. While Elon advocated for truth and transparency with the “Twitter Files”, ironically, after Twitter rebranded to “X”, the company unceremoniously claimed the “@x” handle from a user. This also happened with the account who owned the “@music” handle.

<tweet id="1687223289482035200" />

These examples highlight how in traditional web2 platforms users are never truly the master of their own identity, account and in some cases their voice. Web3 social solves this - to an extent. Applications built on Web3 Social protocols *can* still moderate content, but users maintain full ownership and the option to leave one application for another and still keep their data, or even build their own censorship-resistant application if all else fails. The core tenet here is that there is no lock-in to a particular application – whenever users want to, they can abandon a social application and migrate to a brand new one, taking all their data with them.

### Key Value Propositions – Conclusion

What’s so exciting about Web3 Social is that it unlocks entirely new experiences for community, commerce, composability, engagement, ownership and identity, all while it serves to solve some of the core ills of existing Web2 Social platforms. New ways to build community, make friends and transact are around the corner.

What’s also exciting is the caliber of entrepreneurs entering the space. Within Superscrypt’s investments, Airstack, Collab.Land, Orb, Notifi and Salsa are solving different challenges on access, experience, or interoperability of Web3 Social.

There is still much work needed to bring Web3 Social to the masses; the technology and adoption is growing, but still in its infancy. We expect more iterations before true product-market-fit is achieved and will share more updates soon.

Web3 Social: Driving New Forms of Identity, Connection & Value Creation


We are excited to announce some changes to our weekly Fan Club raffle system that are designed to protect the interests of our long-time community members and Link3 users. Before delving into the details of the new system, we would like to take a moment to address our community.

Since the launch of the CyberConnect Fan Club, our goal has been to reward our dedicated community members and long-term supporters. Unfortunately, we have consistently encountered Sybil attacks that have led to an unfair distribution of the reward pool.

For instance, address 0x82…43a4 has funded gas fees to over 1,700 addresses in early April, allowing each address to easily purchase seven raffle tickets every week. Without intervention, this Sybil account could have amassed over 11,000 tickets and won 5,000 mini-shards from the raffle every week.

As a solution, we will now divide the reward pool into a Main Pool and a Side Pool, and introduce a Credit Point system to differentiate human users from bots. Users with 24+ Credit Points will have access to the Main Pool and will be able to share the majority of the rewards.

We acknowledge that this is not a perfect solution, and we appreciate your patience and support as we work to implement additional changes to ensure a fair distribution of rewards. Furthermore, we welcome our community members to share their valuable insights and suggestions with us. Please feel free to reach out to us on [Discord](http://discord.gg/invite/cyberconnect) with any comments or suggestions you may have.

# **Calculation of Credit Point**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/3de54b04497b1b56)Your Credit Point is the sum of the following four factors:

- Link3 profile completion (total 1.67) 
-Added avatar, display name, basic info +1.67
- Gitcoin passport passing score (total 100)
- Paid CyberProfile (total 3.34) 
-CyberProfile length is less than or equal to 12 characters +1.67
-CyberProfile length is less than or equal to 6 characters +1.67
- Link3 event W3ST holding (total 6.68) 
-Hold 10 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 50 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 100 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 500 W3ST +1.67

If your total Credit Point is equal to or larger than 24, your raffle tickets will automatically join the Main Pool. Otherwise, your raffle tickets will join the Side Pool.

# **Main Pool & Side Pool Rewards**

For Week 9’s raffle, the Main Pool will have 70% of the total rewards, while the Side Pool will have the rest 30%.

Specifically,

**Main Pool:**

35 mystery box

17,500 mini shards

**Side Pool**

15 mystery box

7,500 mini shards

1. Step 1: Go to Gitcoin Passport and get your passing score.
2. Step 2: Click the refresh button after signing on Gitcoin to reveal credit points
3. Step 3: Upgrade Gitcoin stamps to reach 24+ points and join the weekly raffle to get main pool tickets.

During the weekly raffle, we'll evaluate your credit points and allocate your tickets to either the main pool or the side pool based on whether you have more or less than 24 points.

You will see a “main pool” tag if your tickets are counted in the Main Pool.

After raffle participation, we will take a snapshot and reassess each participant's credit points to finalize the allocation of the main pool and side pool tickets. This process will help us identify and filter out users who may be exploiting multiple social identities for Sybil.

**Important Notes:**

- **Do NOT unlink your social media accounts on Gitcoin Passport.** We will take a snapshot of credit points during the raffle to re-evaluate them at that specific moment. You will be entered into the side pool if your credit point is lower than 24.

We are excited to announce some changes to our weekly Fan Club raffle system that are designed to protect the interests of our long-time community members and Link3 users. Before delving into the details of the new system, we would like to take a moment to address our community. Since the launch of

Sybil New Rules Announcement 

gm on-chain friends 👋

Welcome back to CyberLetter, our bi-monthly recap of all things CyberConnect.

Here’s everything we’ve been up to these past few weeks 👇🏼

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/c75d6d0ea7bfe6a3)

**CYBER is here 👋🏻**![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/abb6f5866535f5e7)Have you heard? Early last month, CYBER was introduced on Binance Launchpool as its 37th project and has since been listed on most of the top exchanges around the world. As a reminder, CYBER is the native utility and governance token for the CyberConnect social network protocol.

To learn more about CYBER and its utilities, read [this](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/d430762b4c4a220decb9e8875db78f9af741699774d483d11b9c7203b1582e36) article.

**Over 500k+ Users have completed the CyberTrek 🤯** ![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/453873405dda232c)With every passing day, we’re getting one step closer to bringing Web3 to the world. In recent weeks, we made one of the biggest leaps as a community by bringing account abstraction - the all-powerful new primitive on Ethereum - to users in a usable, actionable form. Web3 has been buzzing with keywords like AA or ERC-4337, but most users don’t know what crypto jargon like batch transactions, gasless transactions, bundlers, etc. mean.

Put simply, account abstraction is an upgrade to the account system on Ethereum that makes it possible to make the user experience on blockchains less daunting, more familiar, and super intuitive - like Web2. Last month, we introduced CyberAccount - an ERC-4337-based smart account to help you experience Web3. We’re excited to report that since its launch, more than 500k CyberAccounts have been deployed across Linea, Polygon, Optimism, and Base. In the coming weeks, CyberAccounts will be available on opBNB and Arbitrum 🚀

The yacht charter industry has long been considered an exclusive playground for the wealthy, but we at OSEAN DAO believe it’s time to democratize this sector and create opportunities for everyone. Our seasoned team of professionals has extensive experience in the yacht charter industry, as well as in cryptocurrency, finance, and marketing. We’ve developed a comprehensive business plan that takes into account all aspects of our operation, from purchasing and managing boats to marketing and selling our cryptocurrency.

Our ultimate goal is not only to generate profits for our investors but also to stimulate the cryptocurrency economy and create a sustainable ecosystem that benefits all parties involved. To achieve this vision, we’ve devised a multi-faceted approach that involves purchasing boats and placing them in the most popular charter destinations worldwide. We’ll establish a sales department for new and used yachts and participate in regattas, sailing schools, expos, and other events to increase brand awareness and generate additional revenue.

However, what sets us apart is our plan to tokenize our boats. By doing so, our investors will have ownership and receive a portion of the profits generated from chartering the boats. This will create a unique opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolio and benefit from the growing demand for yacht charters. Our cryptocurrency will be backed by physical assets and the “new money” stream from business profits will make our token deflationary with an increasing market cap. This provides stability and security for our investors and creates a unique opportunity for the broader cryptocurrency community to participate in a growing industry.

We take our responsibility seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our investors’ funds. We’ll implement rigorous security protocols and partner with reputable exchanges and wallets to ensure the integrity of our operation.

Overall, we believe that our business plan is a unique and innovative approach that combines the stability and security of physical assets with the growth potential of cryptocurrency. We’re excited to embark on this journey and create a circle of growth that benefits all parties involved. Join us and be a part of the future of the yacht charter industry!

Revolutionizing the Yacht Charter Industry with Cryptocurrency: Our Comprehensive Business Plan

### **What is Atem Network**

Atem is a decentralized content creation protocol, and we aim at helping creators tokenize their content and build Web3-native communities. On top of our protocol, we have built two products, AtemChat and AtemReview.

AtemChat is a token-gated community social platform, where creators can connect with their fans via the same NFTs they hold. AtemChat has attracted over 30k users and over 7,000 NFT groups have been created.

AtemReview is a Web3 content-sharing platform, where creators can create their Web3 native graphical notes, and earn social incentives by interacting with their fans. Within the first month since the launch, AtemReview has attracted over 10k users, created over 50k content on Arweave, generated over 200k interactions, and reached over 2k DAU.

 > Scroll down to the final section to learn about our “Infinity Gem” campaign, airdrops, and reward!

### **Integration and building Web3 social with CyberConnect**

We are currently leveraging [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/)’s social graph protocol and particularly ccProfiles and content EssenceNFTs to help creators build their on-chain profile, and store their content on-chain. Creators can show their ccProfile on AtemReview, and mint ccProfile easily within AtemReview. All content created on AtemReview can also be shared across applications integrated with CyberConnect’s social graph protocol.

Atem Network was ranked top of the “Rising Stars” prize in [Connected 2023](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon), a Web3 social hackathon hosted by BNB Chain and CyberConnect. We will keep building and growing together with all our partners and supporters. Let’s build the Web3 future of content and social together. We have a series of events with rewards coming up. Please stay tuned.

### **What you can do and what you can get on AtemReview**

Currently, users can create their Web3 native graphical notes on AtemReview, and launch their content NFTs on various chains for fans to collect with one button click. Also, users can enter token-gated communities and chat with holders of the same NFTs in AtemChat.

In the coming months, we will build an on-chain reputation system for active creators and users to reward their on-chain activities, also we will bring out the mobile version of AtemReview to make it more convenient for content creators and consumers.

### **Now that’s pretty much all about Atem Network. Let’s find out how to get the tons of rewards we prepared for you**

The “Infinity Gems” campaign is an incentive program to reward active community members and web3 content creators.

There will be multiple rounds of airdrops and giveaways of Atem Gems, which represent different facets of Atem ecosystem. Participants who collect all 6 Gems over the course of the campaign will be able to forge them into a special Infinity Glove NFT to earn huge rewards!

2023/3/22に行われた、CyberConnectとのAMA(Ask Me Anything)についてまとめた記事です。

1回目のAMAは[こちら](https://medium.com/cryptokudasaijp/ama-cyberconnect-d9a3ace3ffd5)

## CyberConnectについて

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/)は、大量導入とネットワーク効果のためのアイデンティティ主権による、最初の分散型ソーシャルグラフ・プロトコルです。

BNBチェーン上に構築されたサイバーコネクトは、ユーザーがソーシャルネットワークにおける自分のソーシャルアイデンティティ、コンテンツ、コネクションをほ本当の意味で「所有する」ことを可能にし、開発者向けにコンポーザブルソーシャルデータレイヤーとユニバーサルWeb3ユーザーアカウントシステムを提供しています。

CyberConnectは、2021年にWeb3信者とシリアルアントレプレナーのカップルによって設立されました。以前、2018年に私たちのチームはLinoブロックチェーンを設立し、最大のブロックチェーンベースのライブストリーミングプラットフォームである[DLive.tv](http://dlive.tv/)を構築しました。サイバーコネクトチームは、ブロックチェーンアプリケーションが大規模な採用を達成するための才能とスキルを備えています。2021年に公開したミッションステートメントブログをチェックする

​

みなさん、こんばんは。私はCyberConnectとLink3のグロース（成長）責任者、Royです。元々は中国出身で、過去9年間アメリカに住んでいます。2021年の初めにチームに参加し、ゼロからコミュニティをスタートさせました。私は、プロジェクトマネジメントとマーケティングという非技術的なバックグラウンドを持っています。

チームについてですが、私たちはシリコンバレーを拠点とするシリアルアントレプレナーチームで、Berkeley/NYU/Google/Facebookでの経歴を持っています。2017年、同じチームがLinoブロックチェーンを設立し、ブロックチェーンベースの最大のライブストリーミングプラットフォームである[DLive.tv](https://dlive.tv/),を構築しました。DLiveのデイリーアクティブユーザー100万人以上を達成し、№1 YouTuberのPewDiePieと独占的に提携しました。LinoとDLiveは2020年初頭にBitTorrentに買収されました。

### Q：CyberConnectを紹介してもらえますか？既存のソリューションが解決できていない問題を解決できるのでしょうか？また競争上の優位点は何ですか？

CyberConnectは、マスアダプションとネットワーク効果を目的としたID主権型の分散型ソーシャルグラフプロトコルです。ユーザーの分散型アイデンティティの要となるプロファイル（ccProfile NFT）を作成することができます。

 > \*マスアダプション：大規模な普及。一般の多くのユーザーに受け入れられ、利用されること

 > \*ネットワーク効果：製品やサービスの利用者が増えるほど、その製品やサービスのインフラとしての価値が高まること

CyberConnectでは、ユーザーは自分のソーシャルグラフ、コンテンツ、マネタイズチャネル、ソーシャルデータを所有し、新しいプラットフォームごとにネットワークを再構築することなく、複数のdAppsをシームレスに渡り歩くことができます。

Web2のソーシャルプラットフォームは、ユーザーデータを搾取し、自らの動機を優先する、中央集権的な利益追求型の事業体となっています。彼らはユーザーのソーシャルグラフデータを所有し、より良いプラットフォームへの乗り換えを妨げ、革新的で新しいソーシャルプロダクトや機能の妨げとなるクローズド・プラットフォームを作り出しています。

 > \*クローズド・プラットフォーム（walled garden）：GAFAなどを中心に、プラットフォーマーが自社サービス内に極力ユーザーをとどまらせようとする施策の総称

その結果、公平な参加の欠如、不信感、制限されたデジタル体験がもたらされます。ユーザーは自分のデータに対するコントロールや所有権を持たず、コンテンツクリエイターは不釣り合いな報酬しか得られていません。

CyberConnectプロトコルは2021年11月にローンチされましたが、実は最初に公開されたソーシャルグラフプロトコルなのです！ 2023年3月20日現在、CyberConnectは680kのユーザープロファイルと400kの月間アクティブユーザーを持ち、380万件以上のトランザクションが行われています。

そして、その数字はまだ伸び続けています。

## ​

### Q：これまでに達成した主なマイルストーンと、目標とするマイルストーンをスケジュールとともに簡単に説明してください。

**2021**

- Multicoinを中心としたシードラウンドで1,000万ドルの資金調達を完了しました。

**2022**

- Animoca BrandsとSky9 Capitalが主導したラウンドで、$15MのシリーズAを調達しました。
- V2プロトコルの開発、監査、ソフトローンチを行い、スマートコントラクト（ProfileNFT, SubscriptionNFT, EssenceNFT）部分をプロトコルに導入しました。
- CyberConnect V2上に構築された検証可能なIDのWeb3ソーシャルネットワーク、[Link3.to](https://link3.to/) V1.0をローンチしました。各プロフィールはProfileNFTによって裏打ちされています。
- W3STトークン（SBT）、ラッフル、分析機能を備えたWeb3ネイティブのイベントで、チームがトップコミュニティのメンバーとつながることを可能にする強力なツールキット、Link3 Event Plannerを発表しました。Web3イベントプラットフォームとして最大規模を誇ります。
- メタトランザクションをインデックス化し、プロトコルに送信するためのCyberConnect APIを発表しました。v2プロトコルのためのDeveloper Center v2を立ち上げ、Litプロトコルで有料ソーシャルコンテンツアプリケーションを構築するためのブログを公開、NFT Recommendation Engineをリリースしました。

2023年、私たちはCyberConnect上に構築した強固なエコシステムの構築に焦点を移しました。BNB Chainと共同で開催したWeb3ソーシャルハッカソンも無事終了しました。また、Notifi、Lit、Livepeer、XMTPの各社にもご協賛いただきました。世界中から約100のチームが集まり、CyberConnect Protocolを使った次世代のソーシャルdAppsを構築しました。Demo Day（デモ実施日）には、最終的に23の受賞プロジェクトが発表され、およそ5万ドルの賞金を手にしました。彼らのアプリはとても刺激的で、多様なユースケースと楽しい体験をカバーしています。Web3ソーシャルの未来は、私たちと一緒に作っているこれらのプロジェクトによって、文字通り定義されつつあるのです。

その一端をご紹介しましょう。

前述したように、サイバーコネクトは次世代ソーシャルのためのプロトコルであり、インフラです。dAppsが一緒に構築してくれないとビジョンは作れません。

社会的評判（信用）ベースのソーシャルネットワーク、クリエイタープラットフォーム、NFTマーケットプレイス、イベントチケット、ソーシャルアイデンティティベースのWeb3ウォレット、トークンゲートエクスペリエンスなど、さまざまな新しいdAppsが誕生しています。

## ​

### Q：マーケティング戦略を教えてください。最初のユーザーをどのように獲得しようと考えていますか？

私たちはすでに最初のユーザーを集める段階を過ぎたと思います。誤解を恐れずに言えば、特にWeb2のソーシャル大企業と比較すると私たちはまだ超新参者です。一般的に、Web3におけるコミュニティのパワーは過小評価されがちだと思うのです。だからこそ、Link3は、ソーシャルメディアアプリというより、コミュニティハブやツールのような存在なのです。私たちは、これからもコミュニティを構築し、より多くの人々をWeb3ソーシャルに参加させるつもりです。

## ​

### Q：現在の投資家はどのような方々ですか？

CyberConnecは、Multicoin Capital、Animoca Brands、Sky9、Delphi Digital、Protocol Labs、IOSG Ventures、Tribe Capital、Spartan Group、Polygon Studios、Lattice、Hashed、GGV Capital、Amber Groupなどの有力投資家から2ラウンド、総額2500万ドル以上の資金調達に成功しました。

## コミュニティ質問の内容まとめ

### Q： 日本人のユーザーの印象を教えてください。

これは興味深い質問ですね。個人的には、日本の文化や食べ物が大好きです。日本にも2度訪れました。

Web3に参加してから、私たちのコミュニティや他のプロジェクトで、多くの日本人と知り合いになることがわかりました。

SFには日本人創業者のコミュニティもあり、日本の親友も何人かいます。

なので、端的に言うと皆さんが大好きです❤️

​

### Q：今後Cyber ConnectはどのようなジャンルのDapps開発に注力していくのでしょう？

正直なところ、私たちもよくわかりません。Web3のソーシャルプロトコルやDappsは、どれもユースケースやユーティリティを見つけるのに苦労していると思います。私たちは、コミュニティハブとしてのLink3が、ユーザーと組織の両方にとって必要なものであることを発見し、完成させました。

今後も、人々が実際に使い、楽しむことができる製品を作ることに注力するつもりです。ただ、「ソーシャルネットワーク」という部分には、よりフォーカスしていくことになると思います。

​

### Q：CyberConnectの社員数はどのくらいですか？

フルタイムのチームメンバーは約28名です。そのうち、約18名がエンジニアや技術職です。

​

### Q：他に似たようなプロジェクトがたくさんありますが(lens等)それらのプロジェクトよりサイバーコネクトはこれは負けないという強みがあれば教えてください

まず、競争は悪いことではありません。特にWeb3では、多くの共同努力を必要とする壮大なビジョンに向かっているのです。LensやFarcasterのようなソーシャル・プロトコルの仲間も、同じようなビジョンに向かって、異なるアプローチで構築しているに過ぎないのです。

CyberConnectには、オンチェーンとオフチェーンの両方のデータコンポーネントがあります。「フォロー」や「いいね」のような取引価値の低いやり取りについては、データは現在Arweaveに保存されており、本稼働時にはBNB Greenfieldを活用することができます。有料購読や有料コンテンツのコレクトのような取引価値の高いインタラクションでは、これらのデータはスマートコントラクトレベルの相互運用性と開発者のアクセス性のために現在オンチェーン（BNB Chain）に保存されています。

簡単に言うと、この方が経済的で拡張性があり、マスアダプションとより良いユーザーエクスペリエンスのために理にかなっているのです。

最後に、私たちは、Link3という最高のアプリケーションを手に入れたと思います！

​

### Q: 最後に、Kudasaiコミュニティに一言お願いします！

ありがとうございます！ 私の意見では、Kudasai はおそらく最高のcryptoコミュニティだと思います。Kudasaiの皆さんとは1年近くお付き合いしていますし、私たちのコミュニティではもっと長いお付き合いになる方もいらっしゃいます。私たちは、双方1年前より良くなり、強くなっていることに本当に感動しています。

これからもよろしくお願いします。より多くのコンテンツを提供し、より多くの人々を高品質なcryptoプロジェクトにつないでいきます。

CYBER Token Distribution Disclosure

The next generation of the internet (dubbed “Web3”) is being built on blockchain technology. This internet will be interoperable and composable, allowing internet users to use the same social profiles across different online platforms and making it easier than ever for new tech to be built on top of old tech. This has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with digital systems, communicate on the internet, and manage online communities. At the forefront of this evolution lies [CyberConnect](https://link3.to/cyberconnect), a decentralized social graph protocol providing users with identity sovereignty to better leverage their network effects.

With this in mind, [Gamic](https://gamic.app/) is excited to announce a strategic partnership with the CyberConnect team. We are joining the company’s impressive ecosystem of blockchain projects and integrating CyberConnect’s technology into our platform to improve our user experience. As an ecosystem partner, we are excited to use CyberConnect’s technology to tokenize our user-profiles and the communities that live on Gamic. This will give users more agency over their online footprint and make their Gamic presence an asset they can use across other social apps. With CyberConnect, we can more efficiently onboard the next generation of internet users to Web3 so they can begin taking advantage of its products and services.

 > Cyberconnect social graph helped us solve an architectural debate we had internally for Gamic DID. Our expectations for reliability, predictability & consistency pales in comparison to the robustness of the protocol. We could not ask for a better partner for the millions of GG’s worldwide

### **Same Mission, Same Ethos**

The world of social networking is evolving with the dawn of Web3, a new era where users have greater control over their data and privacy. However, this newfound freedom can come with its own set of challenges, particularly for novice users.

Today, the user experience is poor for online communities trying to engage with Web3 products and services. Right now, users have to jump across different platforms (whether they be dApps, exchanges, crypto wallets, or community management tools) to get the most out of blockchain technology.

Solving this problem is central to the ethos of our two companies. With CyberConnect, users own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data; With Gamic, users can access all the blockchain tools they need on a single, simple interface. Put together, our two projects can allow social internet users to navigate Web3 without needing to use multiple platforms. Then when users do move off Gamic, they will then have the ability to seamlessly recreate their social networks on other online applications.

This is especially valuable for individuals living in developing countries. In such regions Web3 access represents financial freedom and opportunity — Where the functionality of national banking systems might end at the border, analogous crypto products move freely around the globe; Where national unemployment might be high, Web3 careers are internationally accessible. In the end, we need a better social system.

That's where Gamic really wants to step in. Our innovative platform makes it easier and faster for users to access the benefits of blockchain technology, promoting adoption and improving socioeconomic opportunities globally. With Gamic, users can socialize with peers and easily access a range of Web3 tools and services, all in one user-friendly platform. Say goodbye to the fragmented Web3 space and hello to a more accessible and seamless experience for everyone with the revolutionary Gamic app. The newly launched app is available on Android and iOS, making it easier for Web2 users to transition to Web3.

​

### **About Gamic**

Currently home to nearly 2000 unique communities ranging from 1 to 40,000+ members strong, [Gamic](https://gamic.app/) is a decentralized social platform for communities looking to engage with Web3 products and services. Our platform combines the advantages of blockchain technology with a conventional web2 community interface, creating a seamless environment where users can interact and enjoy the benefits of web3 advancements. With messaging, file sharing, crypto transactions/swapping, and soon-to-be-launched NFT capabilities, Gamic consolidates all the features needed to access the best of Web3. In a world where online privacy and security are more important than ever, Gamic eliminates censorship and ensures that users' privacy is safe through end-to-end encryption. With open, private, and dark options, Gamic is perfect for niche Web3 communities that prioritize these features.

​

### **About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://link3.to/cyberconnect) is leading the charge toward returning the ownership and control of social data back to internet users. By building infrastructure that respects user privacy, Web3 social networks and Metaverse projects can thrive and scale like never before. CyberConnect’s main focus is to provide a Social Graph Module for Web3 applications, allowing any Web3 application with a follow function to integrate with them so they no longer have to worry about maintaining their own social graph database. Their vision is to become the social graph infrastructure for all Web3 applications. Built with IPFS and Ceramic, their social graph datastore provides a universal data layer for DApps to integrate social elements for their users. By using CyberConnect, the ownership of social graphs will be returned to users, giving them full control over their data on Web3.

Bridges have been the go-to method to transfer assets & liquidity between chains but have also been the subject of billions of dollars in exploits & hacks due to the trust assumptions underpinning their operation.***

***In this part we explore an emerging approach to Interoperability - where asset bridging can be facilitated through trust-minimized verification of a blockchain’s latest state using Consensus Proofs. Is this the future of bridging and who are the teams building on this?***

***Read on to find out.***

### **Introduction**

In [Part I](https://link3.to/superscrypt/post/da13cc67d3cb9f459cd4fef6796f2610dbd88f03df88b8b6780638f20570ebec) we covered the concept of blockchain interoperability and how it will only increase in importance as alternative L1s, L2s and appchains emerge. The large amount of capital moved on bridges makes them attractive targets for hackers and in 2022 we saw $2.5b lost to multisig and smart contract vulnerabilities. Of all exploits that occurred that year, a staggering[ 69% were related to bridges](https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/cross-chain-bridge-hacks-2022/).

At the heart of these losses were failures at **Verification** step of bridging, where the trust mechanism used to verify transaction validity was underpinned by humans & multisigs:

- Ronin’s bridge was secured by a 5 of 9 multisig. 4 validators were operated by one party and compromised in one go, making the 5th an easy trigger 
- Harmony Bridge was secured by a 2 of 5 multisig which was compromised through unknown methods, though social engineering was suspected
- Multichain’s private keys were a ‘multisig’ effectively held by one person

Given these vulnerabilities, the **Verification** step in the bridging process is much better served by trust-minimized methods that rely on code and math.

This is where **Consensus Proofs** come in as a potential solution. The approach relies on a prover **verifying blockchain consensus** of the source chain and using zero knowledge proofs to attest to validity of a transaction before releasing funds to a destination.

That’s a lot to unpack, so let’s first define what we mean by *verifying blockchain consensus*.

**Verifying the source blockchain’s state / ‘consensus’**

At their core, blockchains are ledgers that record transactions between accounts maintained by nodes that do not trust each other. Since there are many nodes validating a blockchain network, agreement must be reached amongst these validators on which block is the most recently added one, i.e. they must reach **‘consensus’** on the latest state.

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/XJs37spQUZbQZNk0OXbqO8vg_LVDm_qqj03mVMTE3BcVbBPCSG9FGvedAQbKrjhUgrFkrW_Qq6TTE_tcPbjh3IEJokK_kpkDS-MorwjQGRr7lNNV4VFsc0oid7yyv4ZlkUnWbeEQaZ_hXWdeJHpP2xU)*Exhibit* 1: Adapted from[ Ethereum EVM illustrated](https://takenobu-hs.github.io/downloads/ethereum_evm_illustrated.pdf)

Reliably verifying source chain consensus on the destination chain is key to bridging because if you can **verify** the latest block of the source chain in a trust-minimized manner, you determine the latest ‘truth’ and then have the comfort to **execute** a corresponding action on the destination chain.

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1FZiXIOvFwT1NFES8xbsgmMk64rqM_jehlRVQ9ZacPgp1PYiPxqdly-tEY_9iTOer6WR4cCtjeRTgCBvnGmc-rGmWN3vpERePB7B5Cw63AqvLjfPzgr77V8pOWpH8zWi3zIFTfq0QunzkayJMOnfYGU)*Exhibit* 2. Verifying source chain consensus to enable bridging

For bridging, the protocol needs to determine that a ‘deposit’ transaction on the source chain was validly made. In practice this involves verifying two things:

- ***Step 1. Verifying blockchain consensus***, i.e. that the block we’re querying is a valid part of the source chain’s world state; and
- ***Step 2. Check that the specific transaction***, i.e. the  ‘deposit’ transaction is included in the block (this can be proven with a [Merkle Inclusion proof](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/tutorials/merkle-proofs-for-offline-data-integrity/))

Upon verification of both, the destination chain can release assets to the user.

Voila, assets bridged.

In theory this sounds simple, but the tricky part is step 1: it is not so easy for a smart contract on one chain to verify the consensus of another (typically Ethereum as the source chain).

**Current challenges with verifying consensus for bridging**

The first challenge to point out is that different blockchains have different consensus mechanisms and proving consensus on each source chain requires very specific engineering work to set up. This means the verifying consensus step will need to be customized for each source chain. For now let’s focus on proving Ethereum consensus given it has the lion’s share of TVL and is the typical L1 that users bridge from.

Ethereum has a large validator set of 700,000+ out of which more than 21,000 validators vote on a block in a slot. To achieve finality, a block should get votes from the ⅔ of the validator set which is roughly equivalent to 450,000 validator votes. Verifying full consensus would mean checking the validity of 450,000 signatures.

A less cumbersome method of checking Ethereum’s consensus involves the ‘light client protocol’. This uses a sync committee (512 validators selected at random every 27.3 hours) to attest that the latest block proposed is valid. Here, verifying consensus means checking the validity of 512 aggregated signatures.

In a bridging context, a smart contract on the destination chain can use the light client protocol and act as an on-chain ‘light client’ to verify the latest state of the source chain and ensure a ‘deposit’ was made. If satisfied, the smart contract releases funds on the destination chain.

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-y8vrbnB91AFb6QbrcMrOjcsxs0eb1oAbBfQ8kJwMUPV-sBvORxcZp8YDioMvoPZVe9kRIE1CYtBbLnmJrkHf4MDnA4TwIDKkEMEGqxbH0CnzsDs6tZhLJkmwMIayO5X3l8TWfMZxTVoXJ65UKy7MrU)

*Exhibit 3: Verifying source chain consensus (on Ethereum) via sync committee*

This approach is not very practical because verifying 512 aggregated signatures directly in a smart contract on-chain is prohibitively costly without pre-compiles given Ethereum validators use[ BLS signatures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLS_digital_signature).

The key to making this possible then, is taking the verification step off-chain...

… and this is where **Consensus Proofs** come in.

### **The Solution: Consensus Proofs of the sync committee signatures**

Zero knowledge proofs have emerged as a viable solution to help blockchains take costly computations off-chain and verify the result on-chain. This allows a bridging smart contract on the destination chain to move costly computations (like validating source chain consensus) to an off-chain zero knowledge prover:

- The prover will verify the signature and generate a **Consensus Proof** - i.e. a succinct zero-knowledge proof that attests that the block is the next valid block, as it has received ⅔ of sync committee attestations. This proof verifies the source blockchain’s consensus (***Step 1.** from above*).
- Once the validity of a block is proven, we can prove that a transaction was part of this block (***Step 2.** from above*) using Merkle inclusion proofs. (Alternatively, a zero-knowledge proof can be generated off-chain and verified by a smart contract on the destination chain for the same purpose).

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/913nJNF8IZf2dVAJ_kuaY0bknG-YyaXgAONRfIuvJxpu5keRGI6qLOlHc2IGDs2rX_JlC35a9zoW0w326jj4zKwD_qTpvAwK5f79xOrxkMcUjjgHdvo8EFNWu7dGN8Af8sV6NSVM9ZnR56gBiypT_t0)

*Exhibit 4. Verification with zk proofs allows us to move closer to trust-minimized bridging*

After these two steps, the destination smart contract can safely release funds on the destination chain.

Using Consensus Proofs to verify source blockchain state is an important step towards trust-minimized bridging, but relying on the light client protocol & 512 validators has some limitations (highlighted in the table below).

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/F8UhboFNCg-0tMY2p209XxL-DSPwrPMuR0w_gG5QXg_jpuretecELQQJVaEkTzeaI0zexZMhQMHWBskN_6IV8nLn3vA5rT-binqX98NcmPiXTczfhX9CBmrqP0h60GIWGLKvKWg8tdZXENWi3Ngj3xI)Exhibit 5. Limitations with relying on the sync committee to verify consensus

As such, some teams are working on proving *full* ethereum consensus, which is a complex task and would involve verifying 450,000 signatures at the time of writing. Doing so in a zero knowledge circuit is no mean feat - but teams like [Polyhedra Network](https://polyhedra.network/) and [Succinct](https://blog.succinct.xyz/blog/sync-committee) have committed to achieving this.

![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QHfyI7UPwo_IbKYOe3ehSVnsp_qepSC4qL3wH6a17wPd_wUsssEUFo1hS_wRTU-yoVW_mt74Vsj7inSiDdzgVCtZceK6seL2dqT1OSeEkKi9ZLNipHCQrJgQw35vK93CPn2SwMHPXaPtfb2e_fPLKfI)Exhibit 6: What's better than proving 512 signatures? 450,000 signatures!

Polyhedra Network recently [announced](https://polyhedra.medium.com/proving-full-node-of-ethereum-in-zk-c7ffaaa688dd) that they managed to verify 21,000 validator signatures that sign a block at a given slot in ZK and are working toward verifying all 450,000 signatures. More details on their approach and proving system can be found in their zkBridge [paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3548606.3560652).

Once we can verify full Ethereum consensus in zero-knowledge, verifying consensus of other chains with smaller validator sets in zero-knowledge should be relatively straightforward.

### **Risks of using zero knowledge proofs**

While zero knowledge tech & Consensus Proofs solve for human fallibility, the discussion would be incomplete without acknowledging some of the risks that arise with using them in bridging.

Zero-knowledge technology is rapidly changing, as novel algorithms and systems continue to emerge. Some of these implementations are unaudited and could contain vulnerabilities, making them susceptible to potential exploits when significant incentives arise. Furthermore, even after audits, such complex cryptographic systems may contain undiscovered attack vectors which will be identified and rectified over time, to reach a matured, battle-hardened state.

Moreover, it remains to be seen at what transaction volume does the expense of generating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs become sufficiently amortized to be deemed cost-effective.

### **The teams building**

To conclude, we’ll highlight some of the players building solutions in this space. While they have slightly differing approaches and go-to-markets they are pushing the limits of what zk-based bridging can do and heralding the emergence of trust-minimized interoperability.

Among them we have:

- [Polyhedra Network](https://polyhedra.network/) who have been designing and implementing the [zkBridge](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.00264) protocol, and can be used to attest to another chain’s state. zkBridge currently supports bridging across more than 20 L1s and L2s, including Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Optimism, Arbitrum. Polyhedra Network has integrated both sync committee based proofs and full consensus based proofs with LayerZero to facilitate zk-based bridging. 

- [Succinct Labs](https://www.succinct.xyz/) who have been developing zk-based light clients to attest to Ethereum’s state and facilitate bridging between Gnosis Chain & Ethereum as source chains and Gnosis, Arbitrum, Avax, Binance Smart Chain, Optimism and Polygon as destination chains

- [Polymer Labs](https://www.polymerlabs.org/) aims to extend IBC connectivity across different chains through Polymer Hub, which enforces the IBC transport or TAO semantics across connected chains. Polymer Hub also enables a mesh interoperability model which has improved scaling properties compared to p2p or hub and spoke models

- [Electron Labs](https://electronlabs.org/) who is focused on building bridging approaches between Ethereum and the Cosmos ecosystem

- [Lagrange Labs](https://lagrange-labs.gitbook.io/lagrange-labs/overview/what-is-the-lagrange-protocol) who will use their own state committees (that are secured by Eigenlayer re-staking) to attest to the state of blockchains. They are targeting optimistic L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) and major L1s as their go-to-market

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/CUV0T_vuNDaFPhk3rSuNPMlXI4PIjwNhBhnq43eO8J8FNqqi6kECCUteHrBtD_g4Dl72p3NINsGEKcdTEiyizJJK95JZf6jS0tqMR0NsPFTeO7k4IHHLLUykFkv2ikw_jZekv7hsRnJMuxJb4kxTGFE)*Exhibit 7. Teams working on Consensus Proofs*

**Conclusion**

Interoperability is a core part of blockchain infrastructure. The first innings of bridging saw trust mechanisms underpinned by multisigs and compromised by reliance on humans. We’re now starting to move into the realm of bridges being secured by cryptography and math made feasible by the application of zero-knowledge proofs in the context of bridging.

In this part we covered how Consensus Proofs help solve for bridging by checking the latest finalized source blockchain consensus.

This technology, however, can be extended further to check **historical** consensus which enables more flexible cross-chain use cases beyond just bridging at the moment. And that is what we’ll explore in Part III of our series on Interoperability: Storage Proofs & the use cases they unlock.
