Cycle Network (CYC) aims to solve one of Web3’s biggest challenges — fragmented liquidity — with a bridgeless infrastructure protocol. Inspired by Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the project empowers developers to focus on creativity without dealing with the complexities of multi-chain ecosystems. Cycle enables seamless interoperability for dApps and assets across different blockchains using Verifiable State Aggregation (VSA) and Chain Abstraction.
Project Vision
The goal of Cycle Network is to eliminate repetitive “reinventing the wheel” in Web3 by providing developers a unified toolkit where they can build dApps once and deploy them across all blockchains.
- Developers save time by avoiding redundant tasks.
- Users enjoy frictionless cross-chain interaction without high costs or security risks.
How It Works
Cycle Network’s architecture has three main layers:
- Security Layer: Provides safety and liveness of transaction states, inheriting Ethereum’s security guarantees via Rollups.
- Extended Layers: Source and destination networks including Layer-1s, Layer-2s, and app-chains.
- Cycle Layer: Acts as a Rollup for both security and extended layers, aggregating all cross-chain and internal states into one unified ledger.
Partnerships and Integrations
Cycle Network partners with key blockchains, exchanges, and wallets to strengthen its bridgeless ecosystem:
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Avalanche (AVAX)
- Arbitrum
- Optimism (OP)
- Gate.io
- Token Pocket
- UXLINK
- Investors and Backers
- Vertex Ventures (Singapore VC)
- Skyland Ventures (Japan)
- Manta (Blockchain project & investor)
- Unicorn Verse
Technologies Used
- Verifiable State Aggregation (VSA): Securely collects and validates cross-chain states.
- Omni State Channel Indexer (OSCI): Decentralized indexer validating the Cycle ledger.
- Decentralized Aggregate Sequencer: Manages transaction sequencing and aggregation.
- ZK-Rollup: Aggregates off-chain transactions into Ethereum for security.
- ZK-Hardware Acceleration: Reduces latency and enhances UX.
Governance
- Short-term: managed by committee & multi-sig.
- Long-term: transition to DAO governance.
