Union is a bit interesting, this is a new generation of modular cross-chain L1, EVM, Cosmos, Move, Solang, BitVM can all run
Chain abstraction + payment abstraction is carried out together, which is equivalent to ZK-driven LayerZero, benchmarking LayerZero, Axelar, and Wormhole, but more decentralized and lighter
Just set a record and held the most attended trusted setup ceremony in the history of blockchain, second only to Ethereum KZG in scale
This process is a critical part of all ZK systems before they go live: users around the world take turns contributing randomness, and as long as one person is honest, the whole set of parameters is secure
Union uses this method to make its position that ZK is not about privacy, but about reconstructing cross-chain trust, and directly using ZK to compress the consensus of the chain into verifiable evidence, so that the chain can speak its own words
At present, it has raised more than $16 million, backed by funds such as gumi and LongHash, and partners include Polygon, Berachain, Babylon, Celestia, Sui and other leading projects
The Union ecosystem is also taking off: Tower DEX and incubation camps are in the process of landing. It is becoming the base of choice for projects on various tracks
SOPH ignited the ZK narrative, and now Union has taken over the baton
Union breaks the record for the largest Groth16 Trusted Setup Ceremony with 4,664 contributors and counting.
The most decentralized proving system will power trustless interop across Ethereum, BTCfi, Cosmos, and more.
