![Future-of-Bitcoin-Bridging](https://i.ibb.co/jG7pqfk/Zero-DAO-1.jpg)

The ZERO Network by zeroDAO offers a fresh perspective on cross-chain interoperability with its decentralized and trustless Layer 0 bridge. 

This article examines the issues with existing crypto bridges and provides insight into the key features and technology used by the ZERO Network to solve these problems.

## Challenges with Existing Bridging Solutions

Current crypto bridges typically face several challenges:

1. **Limited Interoperability:** Most solutions cater only to EVM-based networks, restricting the scope of cross-chain capabilities and leaving a large portion of the crypto ecosystem disconnected.

2. **Centralization and Trust Issues:** Some existing bridges require trust in centralized parties or validators, undermining the core principles of decentralization and introducing potential security risks.

3. **Inefficiency and High Costs:** Slow and costly transactions are common in many bridges.

## ZERO Network's Solutions

The ZERO network is improving bridging solutions through advanced technology and features such as a new L0 proof-of-stake (PoS) chain powered by $ETH staking and FROST signing with a custom Roastchain Substrate Palette.

It also incorporates innovative economic structures, including a dynamic burn incentive, ETH restaking and liquidity-generating NFTs.

Let's take a closer look at how the network operates, as well as the benefits it offers users, developers and network participants.

## Enhanced Interoperability

The ZERO Network uses a FROST-Powered L0 to enable cross-chain transfers for EVM and non-EVM assets, including $BTC. 

By bridging the gap between blockchains, Zero allows for a more integrated crypto ecosystem and provides a safe and efficient solution for cross-chain asset transfers. 

![Seemless-Asset-Movement](https://i.ibb.co/WBJHmM9/image-4.png)

## Network Economics 

The ZERO Network employs a unique economic model that focuses on collateralization and staking for assets bridged onto EVM networks. 

Let's break down the components of this model:

1. **Distributed Key Custody:** When assets such as $BTC are transferred from their native chains to EVM networks, they are secured and replaced with equivalent coins or tokens on the destination chain. Zero's collateralization model utilizes distributed key custody, in which the assets are held by a key managed collectively by all participating signing nodes. This approach guarantees that the actual assets on the native chain underpin the value of the tokens on the destination chain, securing the backing of $zBTC.

2. **Staking and Earning Revenue:** The primary staking asset in the network's economic model is $ETH, which provides security to the protocol. Validators who act as a governance body can also stake $ZERO LP tokens. As these activities generate fees, stakers receive a share of the fees, creating an incentive for users to contribute to the network's liquidity and security.

3. **Handling Malicious Behavior:** If stakers behave maliciously, slashing penalties are applied. In such cases, the staked $ETH is liquidated, and the resulting funds are used to buy back and burn $zBTC until the network is solvent again. This mechanism helps maintain the network's stability and integrity.

By implementing this economic model, the ZERO Network aims to create a secure and sustainable environment for cross-chain interactions, offering users the opportunity to generate revenue while contributing to the network's growth and security.

![Locked-to-Bridged](https://i.ibb.co/bHr0DpP/Zero-DAO-2.jpg)

## Staking and Governance

Users can stake their $ZERO / $ETH LP tokens in the [sZERO](https://docs.zerodao.com/dao/dao) staking contract to obtain $sZERO tokens. These tokens also grant voting rights within the network's governance system.

To unstake, users can exchange their $sZERO tokens back into the original input LP tokens and receive any accumulated $ZERO rewards. 

## ZERO Heroes: Liquidity-Generating NFTs

The ZERO Hero NFT collection serves as a mechanism to provide liquidity to the network. 

The liquidity provision process involves the following steps:

1. **Minting:** Users mint a ZERO Hero NFT by contributing $ETH. ZeroDAO provides $ZERO tokens for the other side of the LP, and the $ETH and $ZERO tokens are used to create a liquidity pool for the network.

2. **Incentivized** holding: Hero NFTs are designed as diamond hands NFTs, incentivizing long-term holding. Once the ZERO network is live, NFTs will be redeemable for the underlying LP ($ETH and $ZERO), but the redemption is non-linear. Early redeemers get fewer LP tokens than later redeemers, meaning that the longer users hold on to their NFT, the more the redemption value grows.

3. **LP Tokens:** LP tokens represent the user's share in the liquidity pool. Users can then use these tokens to participate in various DeFi activities, such as yield farming or staking.

![zero-HERO-Headphones](https://i.ibb.co/7GPyHz0/zero-HERO-Headphones.png)

Network Architecture: Key Actors and Their Roles

The ZERO Network relies on several key actors:

- Signers
- Validators

These actors play crucial roles in ensuring the network's efficient and secure operation.

#### **Roles and Responsibilities of Key Actors**
- **Signers:** Signers are responsible for signing messages using the FROST protocol. By staking $ETH as collateral, they can participate in key generation and earn passive yield from the bridged assets.

- **Validators:** Validators produce blocks on the ZERO Network. They earn rewards based on their $sZERO balance on the Ethereum mainnet, acquired by staking $ZERO / $ETH LP tokens. The more value transferred, the more yield for stakers.

## Partnerships, Collaboration and Education

**Partnerships and expansion:** zeroDAO is currently forming partnerships with major protocols and integrating their products as core features of the ZERO Network.

Once mainnet is deployed, the team plans on expanding the range of supported networks to include L2 chains such as Arbitrum.

**Collaborative development:** To promote a collaborative ecosystem, developers are invited to build on the ZERO network. [Documentation](https://docs.zerodao.com/) and an open-source [codebase](https://github.com/zerodao-finance) are available for reference and additional information and questions can be directed to the team via the [zeroDAO Discord channel](https://discord.com/invite/w5SU2pvD8B). 

**Education:** The project emphasizes creating educational content and informative guides for users to boost understanding and adoption of the ZERO Network.

Documentation, research guides and a fully-functioning testnet will allow users to familiarize themselves with the network's features, technology and use cases, ultimately enabling them to make informed decisions regarding network usage and participation.

## Summary

The ZERO Network aims to transform cross-chain interoperability through its decentralized and trustless cross-chain bridge. 

With plans to connect EVM and non-EVM chains, the ZERO Network addresses the issues faced with current bridging solutions. 

Enhanced interoperability is achieved through FROST-Powered L0, enabling secure and efficient cross-chain transfers. 

The network's economic model includes staking and incentives for participation, with the $ZERO token playing a pivotal role. Users can participate in $sZERO staking and on-chain governance and benefit from long-term holding of the ZERO Hero NFTs.

zeroDAO is heavily focused on forging partnerships with major protocols, collaborative development and promoting education and awareness to drive user adoption.

As development progresses, the team plans to provide more detailed tokenomics and launch a bridge testnet within the coming months, followed by the mainnet release later this year.

The Zero Network: Cross-Chain Bridging for BTC and non-EVM Assets

## Problem Statement

zeroDAO has been working for the past 2 years on solving key problems in the interoperability space. Specifically, we’ve been engaged with handling BTC within EVM chains.

1. Bridging Non-EVM assets to Smart Contract Platforms is inefficient and requires multiple steps for users to receive funds.  These steps can take upwards of 1-2 hours in total and can be frustrating to follow.
2. Bridging to an EVM address requires it to be funded by another wallet.  Without having funds in the destination wallet, you are unable to release the funds, leaving the funds stuck in a purgatory of bridging.  Additionally, funding an address on a public ledger leads to compromises of privacy.
3. The amount of time it takes for a BTC transaction to reach an acceptable level of finality is also upwards of 1-2 hours.  Anyone who has experience in the fickle nature of the crypto trading markets knows that this can lead to massive changes in pricing. This, subsequently, leads to large opportunity costs which we refer to as “time slippage” while holding funds safe on a BTC wallet or ledger.

zeroDAO has developed two pieces of technology that are suited to handle these three items, and allow for a pure BTC on EVM experience. All this while retaining the security of keeping your funds on their native chain until “Just In Time” execution.  What we’ll be discussing in this article specifically handles the problems  above, **Meta Transaction Lending.**

## Architecture

Lending is made up of a number of components:

- **Client** - A user wishing to perform some action on an EVM chain with a non-EVM asset
- **RenVM** - Permissionless bridging protocol which handles custody of BTC funds
- **Gateway Address** - the native asset address you would send your funds to, generated by renVM
- **zeroP2P** - Decentralized peer to peer communication network where clients can communicate with keepers
- **Keeper** - Transaction forwarder which executes the Meta Transaction for the user
- **Module** - A smart contract with a defined action on the destination EVM platform

## Executing Logic

Imagine we have someone wanting to swap native BTC → USDC using a DEX on the Ethereum network.

Traditionally, to swap you’d need to perform a number of actions - these below are specific to bridging via RenVM, but timing stays largely the same for bridging funds onto ETH:

1. Generate the BTC Gateway Address using specific mint parameters
2. Send your BTC to the gateway address
3. Notify RenVM of mint parameters
4. Poll RenVM for a signature
5. Submit `mint()` transaction on the BTCGateway contract on Ethereum
6. Approve the Uniswap Router to spend your renBTC
7. Swap renBTC to USDC

A timeline for this is displayed below. This traditionally takes around 1.5 hours on average to complete, with the bulk of the time being spent in BTC confirmation time:

![ZD MetaTransLend - No Zerop2p swap.png](https://i.ibb.co/8mGZB8g/ZD-Meta-Trans-Lend-No-Zerop2p-swap.png)

As indicated by the blue boxes, the bridging requires a number of actions done by the user to complete the bridge and swap. This process takes upwards of 1.5-2 hours to complete.  This often leads to significant price shifts during bridging, with price swings of up to 5% during that time frame.  For a swap, this could result in a loss of funds, or needing to wait for a better entry. Even worse, if a user was trying to add collateral to a loan that is in danger of being liquidated, it could lead to a partial or full loss of their collateral.

Another example would be adding collateral to Maker to support an existing loan.  We’ll use a centralized custodian (FTX) in this example to bridge to Ethereum:

1. Login to FTX and generate a BTC deposit address
2. Send BTC to the deposit address
3. Wait for FTX to credit your deposit
4. Swap BTC → wBTC on FTX
5. Withdraw to your destination address
6. Approve wBTC for spending on the Maker vault
7. Deposit wBTC into the vault to increase collateral

![ZD MetaTransLend - No Zerop2p maker.png](https://i.ibb.co/XWskL99/ZD-Meta-Trans-Lend-No-Zerop2p-maker.png)

Using a centralized exchange still has the same timing issues mentioned before and a large number of user actions required to complete the desired outcome.  If a user has an urgent position that needs to be collateralized quickly, this time frame may be unacceptable and cause loss of funds due to liquidation. In order to execute transactions immediately, a user would need to have funds on an exchange or wrapped on a smart contract platform, which gives up the security advantages in holding BTC natively in a private wallet.

## Enter: zeroDAO Meta Transaction Lending

zeroDAO solves the “time slippage” problem by implementing both a lending platform and a peer to peer network of keepers who execute actions for users via Meta Transactions.  A client need only generate a BTC address and send funds to it. Once the keeper detects the transaction, they will post collateral for the loan, execute the logic, and then send the funds to the user. This gives the user an experience similar to a DEX or funds being on chain, but retaining custody of your BTC until just in time execution.

![ZD MetaTransLend - With Zerop2p Swap.png](https://i.ibb.co/42S0tt3/ZD-Meta-Trans-Lend-With-Zerop2p-Swap.png)

zeroDAO modules can be adapted to perform any business logic, allowing users to enter leveraged positions, top up their maker vault collateral, quickly swap for different assets and easily enter LP positions, just as an example.  A user signs a Meta Transaction (a transaction within a transaction) and includes the data in the bridge for the keeper to execute on their behalf, with the lending vault taking the gas cost out of the output of the logic.

In a future article, we will deep dive into the functionality of the vaults and how they can be leveraged in different ways, as well as the future of how we plan on increasing the capacity of the system and improving the user experience.

# zeroDAO + Optimism

![zerodao_optimism_support.png](https://i.ibb.co/cTyM2Mg/zerodao-optimism-support.png)

After rigorous design and testing, the DAO has finalized and launched the Optimism build of the zeroDAO controller. Bridging to or from BTC on the Optimism network is now supported on zeroBRIDGE. 

![optimism.png](https://i.ibb.co/WVG9QLT/optimism.png)

The new keeper release is now available to anyone wishing to run a node to support signaling.

https://bridge.zerodao.com
https://github.com/zerodao-finance/zero-keeper


### What is Optimism?

![optimism han solo.gif](https://i.ibb.co/Q67cQsq/optimism-han-solo.gif)

[Optimism](https://www.optimism.io/) is a researched backed decentralized scaling for the Ethereum network and a functional implementation of "optimistic rollup." It is cheaper to execute transactions on Optimism than you can find on L1, so this means bridging can be done faster and cheaper for all assets supported by zeroDAO.


### What's next?

At the time of writing, Optimism bridging via zerop2p is only available for renBTC, but the DAO is looking at ways to grow the ecosystem of bridged assets and BTC on the Optimism network, and we see a lot of potential. The [Synthetix](https://synthetix.io/) framework is on our radar next, due to its presence and high utility on the Optimism network as it relates to decentralized BTC exchange.

We need participation from the Optimism community and DeFi at large to further the state of BTC on Optimism! Here's what you need to know:

We have launched a renBTC/sBTC Curve.fi pool on the Optimism network and are moving to source liquidity. Those looking for organic BTC yield on Optimism should acquire Optimism renBTC via zeroBRIDGE and pair it with sBTC on this pool.

Find the sBTC/renBTC pool at: https://optimism.curve.fi/factory/15

More liquidity on this pool is required to support bridging directly to sBTC on zeroBRIDGE, but also to support one of the next zeroDAO applications: zeroSWAP (powered by Optimism).

zeroSWAP is a way to trade BTC to sUSD at negligible slippage, or vice versa, using BTC -> renBTC -> sBTC -> sUSD as a route. The application will use the Synthetix framework to exchange sBTC to sUSD with no slippage, so users will be able to move a large sum of BTC to a stablecoin with almost no price impact!

# ZERO Heroes: Liquidity-generation NFT’s

zeroDAO is announcing the ZERO Heroes NFT drop! In every Hero’s journey there is a great trial to be overcome. For zeroDAO, our trial was the fall of Ren 1.0. Without the framework that zeroBRIDGE was built on, the application was rendered non-operational; and like heroes, the zeroDAO team turned their greatest ordeal into motivation for creating the ZERO Network, an advanced L0 for non-EVM to EVM assets.

As we are creating the ZERO Network, we view holders of the ZERO Heroes NFT as the heroes saving our new, robust system. By minting a ZERO Hero, the $ETH used will be paired with $ZERO to provide liquidity to the network. Then, when the network is live, ZERO Heroes can be burned to release the LP tokens.  But this is no simple redemption, once it is enabled the game is afoot!

More specific details regarding ZERO Heroes such as the release date, early access opportunities, and price will be released in the coming weeks.

# zeroDAO: more than a Bridge - a Cross Chain Highway

![Arb.Av.Poly Tito Header.png](https://i.ibb.co/WBQFYXK/Arb-Ava-Poly.png)

[zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/) is more than just a bridge, we are building a **fully interoperable cross chain communication highway**.

With our recent full integration on [Arbitrum](https://twitter.com/arbitrum), [Avalanche](https://twitter.com/avalancheavax), and [Polygon](https://twitter.com/0xpolygon), We are the first platform that allows bridging from **$BTC** to native gas tokens in one go, on all of the aforementioned chains. Long gone are the days of needing faucets, air drops, or gas stations.

### zeroBRIDGE on Polygon
Moving your assets on to Polygon with zeroBRIDGE is the next step in a more seamless and secure experience.

Before zeroBRIDGE, the steps to convert **$BTC** to **$MATIC** kind of looked like this:

1. Acquire **$BTC** through your local ATM or desired exchange.
2. Find a way to buy **$MATIC** on an exchange
3. KYC on the exchange
4. Send funds to the exchange account
5. Buy **$MATIC**
6. Transfer **$MATIC** to your address on Polygon
7. Go to the renVM bridge app and convert your **$BTC** to **$renBTC** on Polygon
8. Make sure the wallet you minted the **$renBTC** to already has **$MATIC**.
9. Go to the Curve app and trade **$renBTC** for **$WBTC** on Polygon
10. Go to the Uniswap app and trade **$WBTC** for **$MATIC** Polygon
11. Question why you even tried to do this in the first place 😫

![Explaination Gif.gif](https://i.ibb.co/JQRdk8N/explaination.gif)
_(The old way visualized)_

The **new way** with [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/) is as easy as 1–2–3:

1. Acquire **$BTC** through your local ATM or desired exchange.
2. Choose **$MATIC** in the token dropdown on the bridge app, enter your amount, and press transfer.
3. Send the correct amount of **$BTC** to the gateway address and after 6 confirmations, you’ll see **$MATIC** in your wallet.

### Step-by-Step Walkthrough bridging funds from native $BTC to $MATIC

Here’s a guide for using the [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/). In this walkthrough we will turn native **$BTC** to **$MATIC** using zeroBRIDGE exclusively.

To begin we select the Polygon network to get access to **$MATIC** and connect to a deposit wallet. In this example we are using an empty wallet address.

![New Buttons.png](https://i.ibb.co/RvSTHDD/New-Buttons.png)

Next we select the currency we prefer to receive, in this case that is **$MATIC**.

![btc to matic.png](https://i.ibb.co/xjQpjX2/btc-to-matic.png)

When a keeper is ready to pick up the transfer we are asked to sign the transaction with our wallet and a deposit address for the **$BTC** we are sending is given to us.

![btc address.png](https://i.ibb.co/nm9qfVn/btc-address.png)
<u>Note: It is important that you deposit the exact amount you signed for!</u>

Using either the QR code or copying the address into our **$BTC** wallet (_making sure its correct!_), we send the amount we input before we signed the transfer.

![green wallet send btc.png](https://i.ibb.co/FgSywM2/green-wallet-send-btc.png)

After reviewing the transfer and hitting send, the bridge takes care of everything else.

![Green wallet wait btc.png](https://i.ibb.co/Z1dS3R7/Green-wallet-wait-btc.png)

After a short wait, we now have the **$MATIC** in the wallet address connected to the Polygon network!

![Proof of Matic.png](https://i.ibb.co/1Mk2sHv/Proof-of-Matic.png)

Follow these same steps if your preferred network is [Arbitrum](https://twitter.com/arbitrum) to receive **$ETH** (on Arbitrum) or [Avalanche](https://twitter.com/avalancheavax) to receive **$AVAX**. We are excited to continue adding more networks and assets in the future!

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for more guides and info to come.

# ZEC to ETH trading is live on zeroBRIDGE!

![zcash](https://i.ibb.co/kG5b3qM/correctdimensions.gif)

## Permissionless Access to Privacy                   
Private cross-chain scripts are now available via zerop2p, via the gasless **$ZEC**/**$ETH** pair. Exits from DeFi to a transparent **$ZEC** address are available in the [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/#/release) "release" tab.

For funding a new identity on EVM (i.e. a wallet not holding any native gas currency) from a shielded **$ZEC** address, the "transfer" feature on zeroBRIDGE has been extended.

## The Method
If you are entering [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/) for the first time, you will need to connect to the wallet of your choice. Now you can head over to the transfer tab and select **$ZEC** as your "from asset" and then transfer it to **$ETH**. 

![loaded-transaction](https://i.ibb.co/cJ2QKTV/1-z-cash-to-eth.png)

To show that we put our money where our mouth is, here is the [etherscan](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0f30b5300d8c286f9130c37981735733cd57df473f2d3268d9be1c3d6bd6171e) and [blockchair](https://blockchair.com/zcash/transaction/16b25e5709983f761054ef6f194865a1f5cbd71daf79b0cab81d88bacae66a27) of that transfer!

## Additional Upgrade

![but-wait-theres-more](https://i.ibb.co/ftFmgDz/but-wait-theres-more.gif)

###  Managing Transactions and History
In addition to the increased support, we've also added a way to view ongoing transactions and history. This information is stored client side so even if you refresh or close your tab, you will still be able to view it.

![history](https://i.ibb.co/nPnm15Y/Manage-Transactions.png)

## Disclaimer

zerop2p is a decentralized peer to peer communication protocol used in conjunction with renVM to provide enhanced bridging experiences. [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/#/release) restricts access by sanctioned addresses.

# Updated zeroDAO SDK released

The zeroDAO project repository now includes all sources, including orchestration files for running your own keeper!

## An organized approach

Our codebase has been made public at

[https://github.com/zerodao-finance/zerodao](https://github.com/zerodao-finance/zerodao)

In this repository, the zeroDAO framework has been ported to TypeScript and rearchitected with more modular design principles. Files useful for orchestrating signalling servers for your own zerop2p network are located in the root of the project and can be run with docker-compose. It is possible to run your own keepers independent of zerop2p mainnet, for those wishing to host bridging/meta-transaction services on a private circuit.

For those looking to simply run a keeper to relay transaction payloads, a Dockerfile is located at the root of the project and can be started if an environment variable WALLET is passed in, set to the private key of your keeper wallet.

The library functionality of the repository is organized similar to the ethers.js codebase, for those who are familiar. The subpackages in the project are as follows:

Libraries:

- @zerodao/common
- @zerodao/chains
- @zerodao/p2p
- @zerodao/compute
- @zerodao/logger
- @zerodao/protocol
- @zerodao/request
- @zerodao/utils
- @zerodao/buffer

Keeper subprocesses:

- @zerodao/keeper
- @zerodao/pending
- @zerodao/dispatcher
- @zerodao/watcher

Bundled SDK

- @zerodao/sdk

Keeper subprocesses are all started with the pm2-apps.json configuration file located at the root of the project, or can be started in supervisord within the Docker image provided in the repo.

Integrators seeking to add zeroDAO bridging functionality to their dApp can do so conveniently with the @zerodao/sdk module. Some example usage is provided in the README.md

For those looking to hack on the zerop2p protocol, the ZeroP2P class in @zerodao/p2p can be extended to create browser applications with a functional p2p stack (using webRTC). zerop2p is effectively a configuration of libp2p which can be used in the browser in fully decentralized architectures.

# Over 50 BTC in cross-chain volume

![50 btc](https://i.ibb.co/28PtDr3/50-btc-gif.gif)

Hello everyone! We wanted to say thank you to each one of you who has interacted with zeroBRIDGE. We have officially crossed the 50 bitcoin threshold and are ecstatic to be celebrating with those of you that have joined us on the zeroDAO innovation train!

![train party](https://i.ibb.co/5chDjZ3/train-party.gif)

zeroBRIDGE has seen significant usage since launch and our total volume has reached 53 BTC at the time of writing. The zerop2p stack has remained stable throughout operation, with keepers executing a total of 262 transactions, relayed via p2p message.

Developments within the protocol are still moving quickly and there are a number of releases to watch out for in the coming future!

## The Road Ahead

![Road Ahead](https://i.ibb.co/nnzK80P/Road-Ahead.png)

#### ZeroBTC.sol

The new ZeroBTC vault is in the testing phase and will be passed to audit once stable. This new vault will enable the long-awaited zeroDAO lending subsystem. With this, we can speed up bridging to only require 1 or 2 confirmations on a BTC transfer to complete a bridge. The mechanism works by lending assets out ahead of time, with loans collateralized by ZeroBTC vault shares held by the keeper vetting the deposit. The loan is repaid by the responsible keeper by relaying the final signature once fully confirmed on RenVM.

The ZeroBTC vault was authored by @d1ll0n, the prolific Solidity architect known most recently for his work on the Seaport project.

#### SDK Refactor

Alongside the Solidity engineering effort, the zeroDAO TypeScript SDK is being refactored into a monorepo. This monorepo takes design inspiration from the organization of the ethers.js project. The @zerodao namespace on NPM will be populated with each component of the codebase, so integrators can choose to be selective about their usage of the protocol.

#### Ledger Live Integration

A BTC bridge powered by zerop2p will be native to Ledger Live following this upcoming release. This bridge will be engineered using the new zeroDAO SDK components. Ledger users will have the utility available to them and simple access to bridge BTC to an EVM asset, or vice-versa, with one click of the device.

zeroDAO will be collaborating with the Ledger team as the subproject develops. We aim to provide simplified and permissionless access to DeFi for the Ledger community.

#### Wen $ZERO?

The release of $ZERO has been pushed back due to market sentiment and is slated to arrive early 2023, but no formal announcement is being made. Plans for a fair token distribution are in the works. Token holders will hold the ability to participate in the cross-chain narrative as it develops and shapes the future of free finance.

Stay tuned and thank you again!

We've reached over 150 $BTC of volume bridged over zeroBRIDGE!

Over 150 $BTC Bridged

## A History on ZERO
Three years ago, we spun up a project we called “confirmation as a service”. The goal was to build a simple solution for what we saw as a pain point in the RenBridge flow, having to wait 6 confirmations for your renBTC to mint. 

![Confirmation-as-a-Service.png](https://i.ibb.co/MgSxgB1/Confirmation-as-a-Service.png)
_From January 2020_

There was no funding, or any aspirations of ever launching a token and we were all busy working on other projects at that time. Between then and now, there were updates to the RenVM protocol, a couple rebrands, and deployments and refactors of ZERO products. Finally, with RenVM pausing RenBridge in the aftermath of the FTX collapse, we have developed a renewed vigor for innovation as we branch out to create our own bridge implementation.

#### Notable Highlights of the past 36 months:
Receiving pre-seed investment from badgerDAO in 2021 to keep development going
Launching zeroBRIDGE
Processing more than 200 BTC in volume across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism
Raising $1.3M in seed funding in 2022

## Last year 
zeroBRIDGE was functional, where users could swap renBTC and renZEC to WBTC, ETH, or USDC, with transaction execution handled by the keeper network over zerop2p.

We designed and implemented improvements to the protocol where users could bridge BTC in 0 or 1 confirmations using a reserve of capital on the target network. Also in the works was zeroPAY, A system for generating invoices in any denomination and accepting payment in any asset from any chain. Both solutions were permissionless and made use of the zerop2p network stack.

These products relied on RenVM as a bridge transport. zeroBRIDGE was a secondary p2p network built to facilitate cross-chain communication. However, in Fall 2022, the RenVM team was forced to pause the REN network to focus on the development of Ren 2.0, due to a cascade of events following the FTX insolvency. zeroDAO switched focus to filling the void in the bridging ecosystem left behind by the closure of RenVM 1.0, and began development on the ZERO network.

## Where we are Now
There was never a discussion to stop and cut our losses. We pivoted our development towards building our own Bitcoin bridge to replace RenVM as the backbone of our architecture. Fortunately, members of the team had been assisting some other developers working on an XMR bridge, so we brought them in to collaborate and innovate together. We are now fully focused on a new bridge service that operates as a purpose-built layer zero network. We are dedicated to this project and are implementing several new concepts that we hope will lead to the most secure, reliable, and decentralized Bitcoin bridge to date.

**You can read more about what we are building [here](https://docs.zerodao.com/)**

TL;DR : We’re using FROST for signers to manage collectively signing bridge transactions

## zeroBRIDGE Features
**A Pure Bridge** - zeroBRIDGE will only ever be a pure bridge, as we do not have any aspirations for it to become a fully functional L1. We will only entertain additional functionality if it serves to add to the core purpose of being the best, most secure bridge for non-EVM assets. &nbsp;  

**Increase Staking Security** - Along with ZERO staking, zeroBRIDGE will incorporate native ETH staking. For any equal value of ZERO and ETH, stakers should need less of a return on ETH to join staking. This means the protocol should attract more security for any arbitrary level of fee generation. We are looking at partner protocols to help incorporate the re-staking component. &nbsp;  

**Incentivize low float** - Users should only move assets off their native chain if they have a good reason to do so. zeroBRIDGE will have a mint fee and a burn subsidy. If any zASSETS are not actively earning, holders will be better off burning them back to their native chain. Lower float = less risk &nbsp;  

**Real Backing** - In most PoS style systems, malicious stakers are slashed, meaning their stake is burned. In a system where ETH is being re-staked that would be wasted value when it could be used to improve the situation. In the zeroBRIDGE system, in liquidation mode, staked ETH will be auctioned off for zBTC. Therefore staked ETH = real backing for zBTC, not just an incentive for signers to behave with integrity.

## Where we are going
There is still a lot of work to do to get the bridge live. We are hoping to have it ready for testing and begin active review and audits by the end of February. We are still working on the initial mechanics and configurations for signer and validator staking and slashing. The goal is to eventually have the bridge operating in a fully decentralized, censorship resistant manner. In the beginning, when there may be fewer stakers and more volatility in the token value and the protocol usage, the network could be more susceptible to attacks. To address this, we are taking a phased approach to decentralization. Below is the current roadmap.

![Screen Shot 2023-02-08 at 9.48.55 AM.png](https://i.ibb.co/kmB1ypy/Screen-Shot-2023-02-08-at-9-48-55-AM-651a549006.png)

### Liquidity Initiation Event
zeroDAO has built out a new mechanism for launching the ZERO token which we are calling the Diamond Hands Liquidity Initiation Event. Users will be able to mint an NFT that will give them communal ownership of ZERO/ETH LP tokens. We expect this system to create a sticky base of liquidity. More details will be released in a subsequent article post.

### Validator Staking goes live
Participants will be able to stake ZERO/ETH LP to earn more ZERO tokens. This will be a fixed release of tokens, but it will be switched to being based off of fee revenue once the full network is live. This will create the base for governance needed to launch the protocol.

### Private Signer staking goes live
Signers will stake ZERO to register a node and stake ETH LSDs (rETH, stETH, etc) to participate in signing and receive fee distributions. During the initial stages of release, in order to seed the network with a sufficient level of trust, only whitelisted addresses will be able to participate.

### BTC bridge & zBTC go live
Once a sufficient number of trusted signers are in place, the bridge and zBTC can go live. Temporarily, addresses on the OFAC list will be blocked from using the service.

### Open whitelisted signer staking goes live
This will be a stage of expansion to increase signing nodes. During this time, this will be through an expanded whitelist to maintain sufficient confidence that node participation is not becoming concentrated into any one entity.

### Signer slashing mechanism goes live
Governance-based slashing mechanisms are implemented.

### Open signer staking with blacklist goes live
Signing nodes are open to all to run outside of OFAC blacklist

### Decentralized ETH re-staking
Remove reliance on 3rd-party ETH staking derivatives, which requires governance to approve. Replace with decentralized alternative.

### Automated Slashing/Shutdown mechanism
Governance shutdown replaced with a decentralized alternative to gracefully wind down the network if signers act maliciously.

_**AT THIS POINT THE NETWORK IS SUFFICIENTLY DECENTRALIZED**_

### Remove blacklists or launch parallel fully open network
Evaluate the state of the network and determine if it is best to remove upgradability and all governance components to make it fully open and decentralized or launch a parallel, open network.

## ZERO Token 
The ZERO token will be necessary to perform critical functions in the ZERO network.
### Participants
There will be two sets of actors actively participating in the ZERO network who will both utilize the ZERO token.
#### Signers
Will stake a fixed amount of ZERO bond to activate their node and then to participate in signing will also need to stake ETH (or, initially, an ETH staking derivative).  Signers work together to process ll bridging activity.  If > ⅔ are compromised than they could collaborate to steal the BTC backing zBTC, which is why the staking is necessary.
#### Validators
Validators will be processing blocks and participating in governance.  In the earlier phases of rollout this includes monitoring solvency and having the ability to liquidate signers.  Validators will stake ZERO/ETH lp tokens and in return receive ZERO token emissions based on volume processed through the network.  
![Screen Shot 2023-02-08 at 10.00.56 AM.png](https://i.ibb.co/vqT43fX/Screen-Shot-2023-02-08-at-10-00-56-AM-c9392bcfd3.png)

### ZERO Launch
The token may launch prior to network launch. A new mechanism centered around an NFT collection will be used to launch the token and seed initial liquidity.  Details will be released in an upcoming post.

#### ZERO Emissions
Once the network is live the ZERO token will be used as an incentive for validators.  The more volume through the network, the more tokens validators earn.  Tokens may also be used for directing external yield through LP staking, supporting zASSET yield to create demand, and other activities supportive of the Zero network.  Signers and Validators will be able to participate in governance relating to the ZERO token.


## Looking Forward
We don’t know how long each one of these steps will take, but this gives us a clear path forward. There are other matters to consider like supporting zASSETS and encouraging the use of the bridge. We plan to use the ZERO token to create yield opportunities for zASSETS in DeFi and to offer incentives to parties that incorporate and drive volume through the zeroBRIDGE. 


![z-dao-highway.png](https://i.ibb.co/dcdcBss/z-dao-highway.png)

Along the way, we will also be re-incorporating the convenience features we brought live last year, and re-launching the entire suite of ZERO applications, including zeroBRIDGE+, zeroSWAP, and zeroPAY. We will be putting out more content over the subsequent weeks going into more detail about many of the topics discussed above.
## The zeroVerse
Over the years we have had the great fortune to work with many talented people across DeFi, and, where possible, we try to support their ambitions either as part of the ZERO team or outside of it. We expect and hope for this to continue in the future.
As new projects launch, where appropriate, ZERO may be granted some exposure. We have built out a mechanism we call entanglement pools to create positive sum relationships between the tokens of two distinct entities. More info to come for associated projects and the mechanism. If you are interested in working with the zeroVerse, please join the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/BQ5QZzZhv9) and reach out.
## FAQs
#### Wen Token?
We will not be launching the token before we have a full design of all of the staking mechanics and a clear expected network launch date.
#### Is this a DAO?
While there will be some governance needed in the beginning, the goal is governance minimization so the bridge can be as trustless and censorship resistant as possible. Governance may still be active around the ZERO token and for other matters.
#### Is this just for Bitcoin?
We will start out supporting BTC exclusively at first. However, we are looking to support XMR and ATOM in later releases. If you are active in these ecosystems and would like to support that effort, please reach out to us.
#### Are L2s or sidechains supported?
Initially we will only be supporting minting to Ethereum, but we will roll out support to all EVM compatible chains/L2s. All forms of staking and the core smart contracts, however, will remain on Ethereum.
#### What does this mean for ZERO and REN?
We maintain a good relationship with the RenVM team and will stay in contact as both projects move forward and look for creative opportunities for collaboration.

A short reflection on the history of ZERO and a look ahead to ZERO's roadmap for 2023

ZERO, a Reflection and Roadmap for 2023

# Thank You to Ren for a Great AMA

We had a great AMA with [Ren](https://twitter.com/renprotocol) on August 24th discussing the current state of [zeroDAO](https://twitter.com/zerodaoHQ). If you missed it you can always find it [here on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj_-RhQKNaE&ab_channel=MaximilianRoszko)! We wanted to thank everyone who came by and for everyone who has visited zeroDAO. We really appreciate your interaction with us and we hope to provide you all with more features and content as we move forward.

![thanks](https://i.ibb.co/9pgXK1S/hey-thanks.gif)

## Current Plans for the Near Future

We touched upon this briefly during the AMA but the developers at zeroDAO have some plans for the near future for zeroBRIDGE. No timeline on these just yet, but we are excited to share these projects with you!

#### XMR Bridging

One of the exciting assets that we have our eyes on is [XMR](https://twitter.com/monero). XMR is a major cryptocurrency where every user is anonymous by default. They have an emphasis on privacy and speed and will be a perfect fit here on [zeroBRIDGE](https://bridge.zerodao.com/).

#### Lending

One of our main focuses is on [Lending](https://zerodao.com/blog/meta-transaction-lending/). It is our plan to solve "time slippage" by implementing a lending platform and a p2p network of keepers. Interested? Check out the link written by one of the dev's here at zeroDAO.

#### zeroPAY

zeroPAY is a tool that will provide invoices for payment in BTC, trades it over zerop2p, and then pays the vendor in USDC. Stay tuned for more information or come and ask us in our community chat!


#### We're here working hard each and every day

zeroDAO can make cross chain a more user friendly experience!

Thanks for reading! See you again soon.

# ZERO
### an L0 for non-EVM, powered by FROST

For anyone active in the space, we have seen the landscape change rapidly as events have unfolded. The L0 ecosystem has seen fewer options for trustless bridging and the void left behind due to this upheaval are noticeable to say the least.

The engineering force at zeroDAO has been working to bring the world a new cross-chain framework, built from the ground up, starting with the same p2p software components that allowed the original zeroBRIDGE application to facilitate hundreds of BTC in cross-chain trade over this past incredible year.

For bridging useful non-EVM assets such as BTC, ZEC, and XMR, and trading it to assets such as ETH or USDC, a solution is desperately needed now more than ever. ZERO has been designed to bring cross-chain to a higher standard than ever before, to blur the lines between networks and provide the focal point in decentralized trade as we know it.

## The ZERO network

The release of the new ZERO network, as well as the ZERO network token (ERC20), is approaching. Signing groups responsible for locking or releasing non-EVM assets such as BTC, associated with a cross-chain message, will make use of the FROST multiparty cryptosystem, implemented in Rust and built to WASM. The FROST secp256k1 implementation we've developed internally works with taproot addresses as they exist on the BTC network. Our Solidity implementation of Schnorr signature recovery for signatures produced by the ZERO network is now, also, fully functional. 

Project repositories have been published to:

[https://github.com/zerodao-finance/frost-taproot](https://github.com/zerodao-finance/frost-taproot)

[https://github.com/zerodao-finance/frost-taproot-wasm](https://github.com/zerodao-finance/frost-taproot-wasm)

[https://github.com/zerodao-finance/solidity-frost-taproot-recover](https://github.com/zerodao-finance/solidity-frost-taproot-recover)

The ZERO network wire protocol is designed for space-efficiency as well as portability. Transactions and unsettled cross-chain messages on the ZERO network propagate using sketches to reconcile set differences. A WASM build of the minisketch implementation of the PinSketch algorithm, originally designed to improve the network performance of BCH, is included with the ZERO nodes, and is now published on GitHub at:

[https://github.com/zerodao-finance/libminisketch-wasm](https://github.com/zerodao-finance/libminisketch-wasm)


## Economics

The economics behind classic solutions in cross-chain messaging have not supported a truly decentralized model, therefore the lessons we've learned through the short history of L0 have been built into ZERO.
Assets bridged onto EVM networks using ZERO will use a collateralization/staking model slightly different from pre-existing networks. The ZERO token itself can be staked to earn passive revenue from cross-chain bridging and trade, and the token will function as a backstop for liquidation events, but only a portion of the collateral backing bridged assets will be ZERO. Stakers can also bring rETH/stETH to earn complimentary yield.

In addition to the inclusion of less volatile collateral, an economic incentive for burning bridged assets back to their native chain via ZERO will exist such that arbitrageurs can extract MEV and improve market health. With less capital locked in wrapped assets, we reduce the strict collateral requirement and lower stakers' exposure to risk.


Stay tuned for updates as we approach launch of ZERO!
