Building @zkLayer_ 🪄✨ Harnessing ZKPs & EVM to pioneer a scalable next-gen programmability layer on Bitcoin.

We’re raising! 🤝

[Mattia Pintus @btcleet]

Seven years on, the importance of #Layer2 has only deepened. As #Bitcoin’s network continues to evolve, #L2 solutions like #Lightning but also #Sidechains and #Rollups are essential for scaling and unlocking new capabilities without compromising decentralization. @starkness’s vision of Layer 2 as the ‘HTTP of Bitcoin’ feels more relevant than ever as we push towards a truly decentralized financial future. 🎯

[Mattia Pintus @btcleet]

It’s finally time to pack it up and incorporate in the US. 🇺🇸 @zkLayerLabs

🧠 Bitcoin bridge evolution in one image:

❌ No soft-forks.
❌ No trusted 3rd parties.
❌ No operators & committees.
❌ No pre-signed transactions.
❌ No challenge-response game.
✅ Trustless with Permissionless withdrawals.

Coming soon with @zkLayer_ Devnet in Q4 2024. 🚀

[zkLayer @zkLayer_]

#Bitcoin got its eyes on the future! Why rely on MPC, TSS, and BitVM-based trust-minimized bridges when you can have @zkLayer_'s PIPE-based OP_CAT trustless bridge? 😼

No soft-forks, no operators, no committees, just permissionless withdrawals. PoC implementation is underway. 👨🏻‍🔬

[zkLayer @zkLayer_]

😎 No soft-forks required. No BS.

Trustless bridge leveraging #OP_CAT through Polynomial Inner Product Encryption via Quadratic Functional Encryption with Full-Hiding Multi-Input Inner Product Encryption is coming soon along with @zkLayer_ Devnet: Q4 2024. 🚀

MEOW 😼

[zkLayer @zkLayer_]

GMEOW 😸 The CAT is out of the bag, and there’s no going back!

@zkLayerLabs is developing a Trustless bridge, connecting #Bitcoin to @zkLayer_ through a #CAT #PIPE 👨🏻‍🔬⚗️

We’re almost ready to verify state transition #ZKPs on Bitcoin — whether through #OP_CAT or a #CAT #PIPE 😼

[zkLayer @zkLayer_]

😼 Whether #OP_CAT is soft-forked or not, the #CAT is coming out of the bag. @zkLayerLabs's engineering team has been silently brewing a potion within a #PIPE to unleash the #CAT.

RT @btcleet: 🚀 Thursday, October 24th at 16:00 GST (UTC+4), I’ll be speaking at @BullAmbSummit on the "L1/L2/L3 Layers Battle" panel.

We'l…

[BullRun Ambassadors Members Syndicate @bams_cult]

Its time to discuss one of the hottest themes in crypto now:
L1/L2/L3 layers battle- why do we need so much “blockchains”?

So meet our next speaker:

The Silicon Valley Launchpad team is excited to endorse zkLayer: ✨

PROBLEM:
The Bitcoin ecosystem has deep liquidity but lacks efficient scalability and programmability:

1. Economically dormant BTC
2. Minimal Layer 2 activity
3. No native support for scalable DeFi and DApps

SOLUTION:
The Silicon Valley Launchpad team endorses zkLayer, addressing all the ABOVE ISSUES.

zkLayer enables scalable Bitcoin-native DeFi with full EVM equivalence, facilitating seamless DApp development and cross-chain interoperability.

📊 Product details:
zkLayer uses a Bitcoin-native zkRollup, providing increased scalability, enhanced programmability with other L2 solutions.

💯 Fundraising Round:
Pre-seed round target: $2.5M
FDV: $25M
Equity+Token (SAFE + Token Warrant)

Call to Action:
— Seeking investors and strategic partners to help scale zkLayer's impact.

Below you can find projects listed on the Bitcoin Layers website. So, what’s their relationship with Bitcoin?

[Mattia Pintus @btcleet]

In today's fast-paced tech landscape, where innovation and agility are key, excellence isn't just a goal — it's a necessity. As we assemble and nurture our engineering teams, let's remember that excellence isn't about perfection; it's about a relentless commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and a growth mindset.

Here’s why focusing on excellence matters:

1. Quality Products: Teams committed to excellence produce superior products. This translates to better user experiences, higher user satisfaction, and a stronger market position.

2. Innovation: Excellence fosters a culture of curiosity and creativity. Engineers motivated by excellence are more likely to explore new technologies and solutions, driving innovation.

3. Talent Attraction and Retention: Top talent wants to be part of teams that strive for excellence. It creates an environment where individuals are challenged, supported, and recognized for their contributions.

4. Sustainable Growth: Excellence in engineering ensures that growth is sustainable. Robust, well-designed systems are scalable and adaptable, reducing technical debt and enhancing long-term efficiency.

5. Resilience: Teams that value excellence are better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks. They approach problems methodically, leveraging their skills and knowledge to find effective solutions.

As leaders, it's our responsibility to set the standard and create an environment where excellence can flourish. This means investing in continuous learning, encouraging innovation, and celebrating achievements. When we prioritize excellence, we build teams that are not only capable but also inspired to push boundaries and achieve greatness.

At @zkLayerLabs, we're on a mission to build an engineering team that doesn't just meet expectations but exceeds them! 🚀
