Airchains

Airchains is helping the Municipal Corporation of Raipur put real estate records on the blockchain with zkFHE rollups ☄️ Raipur, the capital city of Chattisgarh in India, issues more than 8,000 permits annually. This has raised issues of document forgery and slow processing times for the corporation, making the process inefficient and risky. With Airchains’ zkFHE rollups, the corporation is encrypting records onto the blockchain with self-owned servers and encryption keys - they’ve encrypted 100,000 so far and will be providing each building with their own smart contract to track permissions and updates. This is the first known use of Zero-Knowledge Fully Homomorphic Encryption (zk-FHE) in India. Read more in this piece by Amitoj Singh for CoinDesk 👇 https://lnkd.in/gakwQ2Hx

🔒 Don't Put All Your Privacy Eggs in One ZK Basket Privacy is a growing concern in the digital age, and while Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs offer promising solutions, relying solely on them might not be the ultimate solution. This oped by Airchains CEO Ankur Rakhi Sinha in CoinMarketCap explores the strengths and limitations of ZK technology, emphasizing the need for a diverse approach to privacy protection with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and composability. Airchains is building a multichain zkFHE composable framework for scalable projects needing bespoke privacy for rollups. To read the oped, head to the comments 👇

One of the key features of our first public testnet - Switchyard - is its robust settlement layer. The Airchains settlement layer forms the backbone of the Switchyard testnet, providing secure and reliable transaction finality across all connected ZK-rollups. This enables seamless interoperability and unlocks a world of possibilities for cross-chain interactions. Airchains’ settlement process can greatly benefit multiple institutional sectors that require flawless privacy implementation, including: - Financial Services: Instant cross-border payments and remittances. - Supply Chain Management: Transparent and verifiable tracking of goods. - Healthcare: Secure sharing of patient records across institutions. - Gaming: Seamless transfer of digital assets between platforms. With the Switchyard testnet, we are opening the doors for developers, enthusiasts, and visionaries to experience the future of blockchain technology firsthand. We’re gearing up for a robust mainnet with zkFHE integration and Quicklaunch - a way for builders to deploy their privacy chain with minimal code. #Blockchain #zkRollups #DataSecurity #Scalability #Airchains

We closed out last week with over 1 million zkProofs submitted on the Airchains Switchyard Testnet. 🚀 The Switchyard public testnet was released in May 2024 as part of our journey towards a scalable, privacy-preserving, and interoperable blockchain ecosystem. With the testnet, we opened the doors for developers and builders to experience future-proof blockchain technology firsthand. Soon, we will be bringing Quicklaunch to the public testnet — our no-fuss method for initiating Airchains rollups on EVM, SVM, and CosmWasm with minimal setup. We are also working on integrating Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) into our proofs for enhanced privacy. Watch this space ☄️ #Airchains #ZeroKnowledge #Blockchain #Privacy

🔐 Ensuring true privacy in zk-rollups requires every aspect to be secure and reliable. This is why we’ve partnered with Eigen Labs EigenDA, Celestia Labs, and Avail to offer builders flexible and robust data availability (DA) layer choices. By integrating EigenDA, Celestia, and Avail, Airchains addresses scalability concerns inherent in Layer 1 blockchains without compromising security or decentralization. This partnership allows for diverse DA solutions, ensuring efficient data handling tailored to specific project needs. We’re committed to doubling down on privacy for the Airchains framework. One of our next steps: integrating zero-knowledge fully homomorphic encryption (zk-FHE) into our stack to craft a truly future-proof, scalable, and secure ecosystem for the next generation of decentralized applications ☄️ #Blockchain #zkRollups #DataSecurity #Scalability #zkFHE

The Airchains Station Rewards Program is Live! We are excited to announce the launch of our Station Rewards Program, designed to incentivize developers to contribute to the Airchains ecosystem. Developers who launch stations on the Airchains network for their EVM, SVM, or CosmWasm rollups will earn points and unlock future rewards. The more stations you build and the more value you bring to the ecosystem, the higher your rewards will be. Additionally, we’re committed to promoting and marketing the most interesting and innovative projects built on Airchains. If a station catches our eye, we'll put our marketing muscle behind it, helping the team reach a wider audience and attract more users. The Station Rewards Program is another step in rewarding our community for their contributions to the Switchyard Testnet and the future of Airchains. We're enabling builders to create modular and interoperable ZK rollup dApps in minutes. Developers can get started here → https://lnkd.in/eY9W5mHR
