LayerEdge is the world's first dual-layer decentralized protocol platform centered on zk-SNARKs verification and anchored in Bitcoin for security. It aims to create a low-cost and transparent global verification layer to address the efficiency and trust issues of blockchain infrastructure, promoting the robust development of the Web3 ecosystem.
LayerEdge System Architecture and Functions
LayerEdge includes two main components: the edgenOS verification layer and the Edgen Chain blockchain. The edgenOS allows ordinary devices to participate in zk-SNARKs verification, while the Edgen Chain is built using Cosmos SDK to create a high-performance EVM compatible chain, anchoring zk-SNARKs proofs to multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, within 24 hours, achieving secure and efficient data verification.
Addressing the pain points of blockchain
LayerEdge significantly reduces zk verification costs by up to 99% through recursive aggregation technology and provides cross-protocol standard verification services. Coupled with probabilistic light node verification, it enhances Decentralization and security, effectively breaking the bottleneck of traditional centralized verification.
Token Economy and Upgrade Plan
The native token EDGEN has a total supply of 1 billion pieces, with allocation ratios covering airdrops, liquidity, staking rewards, core team, and foundation. The Shannon upgrade in Q2 2025 mainly promotes permissionless verification gateways and node systems, introduces modular token logic, and enhances system resilience and governance capabilities.
Future Vision
LayerEdge aims to become the trust cornerstone of a multi-chain ecosystem, providing a unified and efficient platform guarantee for various zk applications, cross-chain data anchoring, and IoT verification, making information transparent, secure, and verifiable, and driving Web3 towards large-scale commercial use.
