TL;DR
- Cycle Network has launched operations on the Symbiotic mainnet, enabling cross-chain transactions with its Verifiable State Aggregation (VSA) technology.
- The platform features a three-layer structure to ensure security and proper state verification across chains.
- Cycle allows transactions between more than 20 blockchains, offering capital efficiency by using a single collateral to secure all transactions.
Cycle Network has begun operations on the Symbiotic mainnet, enabling cross-chain transactions through its Verifiable State Aggregation (VSA) technology. This integration aims to overcome the limitations of traditional bridges, offering a more efficient and secure solution for interactions between different blockchains.
Cycle’s structure is divided into three layers that ensure security and correct state verification across chains. The first layer, the security layer, requires operators to stake collateral through Symbiotic vaults, facing penalties if incorrect state proofs are presented.
The second layer manages interactions between source and destination chains. Finally, the Cycle layer aggregates and verifies the states of cross-chain transactions. This design allows users to interact with both Non-EVM and EVM-compatible networks without relying on traditional bridge infrastructure.
Cycle and Symbiotic: More Efficiency and Interoperability
One of the most important features of this system is its capital efficiency. Unlike traditional models, where each chain maintains its own isolated security, Cycle allows operators to stake a single collateral that covers the security of all transactions within the network. This not only reduces capital requirements but also ensures strong economic guarantees for users.
The platform currently supports transactions across more than 20 different blockchain networks, with plans to integrate more chains in the future. Each new integration inherits the shared security model of Symbiotic, simplifying cross-chain interactions for both users and developers.
With the mainnet deployment, Cycle focuses on improving the user experience and expanding supported networks. Additionally, it is working on optimizing tools for developers, allowing other protocols to leverage the modular security provided by Symbiotic without losing control of their infrastructure.
