With the advent of the multi-Rollup era, how does Opside work together to build a ZK ecosystem?

Introduction to Opside

Opside is a decentralized ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service) platform and a PoW network that supports ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) mining. Opside adopts PoS & PoW hybrid consensus, providing Web3 developers with the function of generating zkEVM application chain with one click. At the same time, the ZKP computing tasks brought by a large number of ZK-Rollups also generate a huge demand for computing power, thus providing a meaningful mining scenario for global miners.

The purpose of Opside is to make ZK-Rollup more friendly and popular, thus making it possible to implement zkEVM-based application chains on a large scale. Opside offers the following services and innovations:

• ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service): For developers, one-click deployment of their own ZK-Rollup (zkEVM) on multiple chains;
• Opside ZK-PoW Cloud: For miners, Opside is also a multi-chain PoW protocol that supports ZK mining and generates zero-knowledge proofs for ZK-Rollup on multiple public chains.

Advantages of Opside

According to V God's latest article, it is foreseeable that we will transition from the multi-chain era to the multi-Rollup era in the future. The ZK-Rollup as a Service provided by Opside will make the large-scale application of ZK-Rollup possible. Developers do not need to have any ZK knowledge, they can create their own ZK-Rollup only through the front-end selection, and the created ZK-Rollup can become Layer 2 of any public chain (such as Ethereum, BNB Chian or Polygon PoS), The computing power involved will also be provided by the Opside ZK-PoW multi-chain protocol. The cost of development and operation of the project party has been greatly reduced by the naked eye.

In addition, Opside will launch specific contracts with 0 gas fee in early July. Users will not need to pay any gas fee when using certain dApps on ZK-Rollup. The 0 gas fee contract is designed to solve the current dilemma of high threshold for Web3 dApps, and it can also greatly improve user experience.

The Ecological Value of Opside

Since the launch of the Opside Pre-alpha Testnet on May 24, 2023, the Opside network has received great attention from the market. In just one month, the number of independent addresses on the entire network exceeded 120,000+, the transaction volume reached 5.54 million+, the number of PoS Validators exceeded 12,400, and the number of miners reached 60+. By simple calculation, the value of the hardware cost injected into Opside by Opside global community members has exceeded 30 million US dollars.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Opside's ZK application ecosystem is also continuously expanding. Up to now, 6 high-quality project parties have created sovereign ZK-Rollup and deployed related applications, and more than 10 other project parties have deployed on Opside Public zkEVM. In addition, there are more than 20 project parties who are docking and scheduling with Opside for deployment. Ecological projects involve Def, Gamefi, Socialfi, Content, NFT and many other popular tracks.

Benefits of deploying on Opside

Opside itself is compatible with EVM, and any Solidity language project can achieve almost zero-cost migration and deployment, and there is no learning cost for new projects. Project parties can enjoy the security brought by ZK-Rollup, low gas fee, extremely low operating costs, and user experience will also be greatly improved.

We also summarized Opside's eight major innovations before:

• ZK-RaaS: Opside provides ZK-Rollup as a service solution, which is safer, more trustless, and faster withdrawal speed. Support Ethereum/Opside Chain/BNB Chain/Polygon and other public chains
• Fully managed hardware: The two hardware resources required by ZK-Rollup: data availability (analogous to a hard disk) and zkp computing power (analogous to a CPU) are decentralized and license-free provided by PoS and PoW respectively. Developers do not need to bear any hardware costs.
• 0 gas fee: Based on Opside's innovative economic model, the developer pays the rent of the rollup slot, thereby bearing the cost of ZK-Rollup. If the developer is willing, the user does not need to pay any handling fees, and the developer can also choose his own gas token.
• Fully on-chain: Thanks to the extremely low gas fee and high throughput, games, financial derivatives and social products can be fully on-chain.
• EVM Compatibility: We will transform multiple zkEVM consensus layers (including Polygon zkEVM, Scroll, zkSync, StarkNet, etc.), developers can freely choose the zkEVM SDK without any migration costs.
• Sovereignty: Developers have the sovereignty of ZK-Rollup and can customize the rollup economic model, such as the free choice of 0 gas fee and gas token mentioned above.
• Cross-Rollup communication: Different ZK-Rollups will be managed by a unified system contract. They have the same interface specification and data results, so that native cross-Rollup communication can be realized.
• More decentralized: Opside Chain adopts the PoS consensus of ETH 2.0, and will have more than 100K validators. At the same time, the promotion of the Opside multi-chain ZKP mining protocol will also attract more miners to contribute computing power to different ZK-Rollups to jointly maintain the security of the network.

Opside Potential

Nowadays, more and more developers and project parties have demand for application chains based on zkEVM. They can use the Opside ZK-Rollup Launchbase to generate their own zkEVM chains on Ethereum/Opside Chain/BNB Chain/Polygon and other public chains, as well as basic supporting settings such as browsers and bridges. The whole process only takes 10 minutes. Sovereign ZK-Rollup means higher security and stability. The 0 gas fee lowers the threshold for users, allowing Web2 traffic to enter Web3 without barriers.

In fact, after switching from ETH to PoS, a lot of computing power has nowhere to go. Opside’s multi-chain ZKP PoW protocol can connect to any Rollup, provide them with decentralized computing power, and generate ZK proofs. The Opside team has many years of PoW experience and has been in good contact with large miners around the world. At present, Ingonyama and others have jointly announced and participated in this testnet.

Since the Opside testnet was launched for more than a month, it has already had more than 12,000 validators, more than 60 large miners participated, and more than 120,000 independent users participated. More than 30+ project parties are connecting to the Opside network in an orderly manner. The various data of the testnet are expected to further increase in the next few months, and we will also keep pace with the progress of the community in a timely manner.

Conclusion and Outlook

As a decentralized ZK-RaaS platform and a PoW network that supports ZKP mining, Opside has accelerated the large-scale implementation of zkEVM-based application chains. Opside not only provides the function of generating ZK-Rollup application chains with one click, which reduces the technical burden for developers, but also uses its ZK-PoW Cloud to meet the computing power requirements of ZKP computing tasks caused by the increase of ZK-Rollup, providing global Miners create a new mining scenario.

Since the launch of the Pre-alpha Testnet on May 24, 2023, Opside has gained widespread attention and positive feedback worldwide.

With the continuous advancement and development of Rollup, it is reasonable to expect that ZK-Rollup technology will be popularized in more application scenarios. The emergence and development of Opside has made possible the large-scale implementation of ZKRollup, and also provided miners with new mining opportunities. Opside has many years of practical experience in PoW and has maintained good cooperative relations with large miners around the world, which has laid a solid foundation for Opside's future development.
