Published

In partnership with AltLayer, Optimism, and EigenLayer, Cyber, the first L2 for social, has been launched on Mainnet!

Cyber leverages leading modular solutions, such as Optimism’s OP Stack and customized infrastructure secured by EigenLayer’s Actively Validated Services (AVS). To meet the unique needs of social applications, Cyber expands on these by integrating purpose-built tools developed by the team. To mark this significant launch, CyberConnect has rebranded to Cyber with a revamped VI and spun out Link3 to focus on its L2 and developer-centric offerings.

H2: Cyber, Previously Known As CyberConnect, Unveils The First L2 For Social

Cyber, formerly CyberConnect, has announced the launch of its L2 on Mainnet and its rebranded identity. This consolidates all the developer-centric solutions and infrastructure offerings released by the team under a single brand, centered around its new Layer 2 for social applications. Cyber aims to simplify application development through an all-in-one platform that integrates high-performance infrastructure and purpose-built tools.

Over the last few years, the team behind Cyber has introduced several products, including the CyberConnect Protocol, CyberWallet, and Link3, which have shaped the web3 social landscape. With a refined focus on their L2, Cyber is spinning out Link3 as a standalone brand. Rebranded Cyber comes with a fully revamped visual identity that’s young, bold, and adaptive, signifying the value social can bring to a diversity of use-cases. To celebrate the launch of Cyber and its rebrand, a commemorative NFT mint is being held.

H3: High-Performance Infrastructure With Purpose-Built Features For Social

Deployed by AltLayer using Optimism’s OP Stack, Cyber joins the Superchain alongside several OP stack L2s including Base and Mode. By doing so, it adopts a shared vision and pledges to contribute a portion of the revenue generated by its sequencer back to the Optimism Collective.

Cyber aims to facilitate the creation of social applications that offer a familiar web2-like experience, enriched with web3 benefits. Through native Account Abstraction and familiar authentication methods such as Passkey and Webauthn, Cyber enables FaceID wallet access for users. Cyber also natively supports Smart Accounts, allowing for gas sponsorship, which is crucial for user adoption.

For developers, Cyber incorporates features built by the team into its L2 to meet the specific needs of social applications. Cyber’s unique infrastructure features include its enshrined CyberConnect Protocol and CyberDB. These enable developers to interact with and store social data securely and efficiently.

During the next month, Cyber is focused on attracting projects and applications for users to engage and play in their upcoming Social Summer Campaign. To support ecosystem growth, Cyber has set aside $2M for grants to builders. It has already distributed $170k in $CYBER tokens during the pilot phase of their Ecosystem Grants program. Several additional grant rounds will come, so developers actively building or considering building innovative social apps and infrastructure are encouraged to join the ecosystem. Developers interested in building on Cyber can visit its Developer Documentation.

About Cyber

Cyber, the L2 for social, enables developers to create apps that transform how people connect, create, monetize, and share the value they generate.

By simplifying workflows and accelerating time to market, Cyber streamlines development through an all-in-one platform that integrates high-performance infrastructure—with ultra-low fees and high TPS—and purpose-built tools for social applications, such as the CyberConnect protocol and CyberDB. To meet the demand for a seamless UX in social applications, Cyber offers a familiar, web2-like experience enriched with web3 benefits, through features like native Account Abstraction and seedless wallets.

With 3 years of experience in building decentralized social networks, Cyber leverages its resources and knowledge to nurture a synergistic ecosystem with strong support systems atop its L2.

Published

Today, STON.fi, a leading decentralized automated market maker exchange (AMM DEX) built on the TON blockchain, announces a previously undisclosed round led by CoinFund with participation from Delphi Ventures, Karatage and TON Ventures, as well as Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov, Co-Founders at 1inch, and Philipp Zentner, CEO of LI.FI. The funding will be used to fuel operations for STON.fi’s rapid growth, on a mission to expand DeFi services to Telegram users via instant exchange of Toncoin and USD stablecoins for any native token at the best rate.

STON.fi provides a decentralized cross-blockchain platform that allows users to effortlessly trade their crypto assets across multiple blockchains without the need for bridging or wrapping. Integrating seamlessly with the rapidly growing Telegram Messenger and its 900 million monthly active users (MAUs), STON.fi offers a user-friendly and accessible solution that empowers individuals to manage their digital assets while maintaining full control.

“STON.fi exists to make it simple and fair for everyone to access DeFi as easily as they use Telegram,” said Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi. “STON.fi is building a cross-blockchain decentralized platform that provides a reliable and secure way to trade cryptocurrencies without relying on centralized institutions.”

The innovative and distinguishing aspect of STON.fi is the OMNISTON protocol, which allows the implementation of direct cross-chain swaps and eliminates the need for intermediaries or third parties. This approach minimizes user risk associated with security breaches and significantly enhances the transaction speed. Since the beginning of 2024, STON.fi’s liquidity measured by total value locked (“TVL”) has increased 26x and its MAUs 49x. Today, STON.fi is #1 in the two most important DeFi categories, TON native TVL with greater than $115M and spot volume of roughly $676M in April.

“STON.fi is the liquidity layer underpinning the consumer crypto activity on TON,” said Einar Braathen, Partner at CoinFund. “The seamless integration into Telegram Messenger opens up native possibilities for simple peer-to-peer transfers of digital assets, serving users where they are, and eliminating the need for intermediaries. STON.fi is poised to capture the real momentum driven by the cultural moment that Telegram is having right now.”

As Telegram has developed a global user base, its users have demonstrated they have real need for an app ecosystem underpinned by blockchain. STON.fi is a key building block for applications and mini-apps on Telegram enabling developers to easily integrate TON DeFi through the STON.fi SDK.

About STON.fi

Stablecoin Standard and Aleph Zero Announce Strategic Partnership to Facilitate the Future of On-Chain Commerce

Published

on

Stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies are key for mainstream blockchain adoption, but only if transactions remain private.

Stablecoin Standard, the industry body for stablecoin issuers globally, and Aleph Zero, a privacy-enhancing layer 1 blockchain announce their strategic partnership aimed at stimulating commerce on chain.

By partnering with Stablecoin Standard, Aleph Zero is engaging with most of the top stablecoin issuers around the world, currently representing 17 differently denominated currencies, including CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY and USD. The objective is to enable users of the Aleph Zero ecosystem to have multiple safe harbors on-chain that they can settle in, no matter where they are based. As Stablecoin Standard aggregates more fiat-backed stablecoin issuers, Aleph Zero users will have greater access to on-ramp and settlement options denominated in their domestic currencies.

Stablecoin Standard and Aleph Zero recognize that true privacy is not about hiding all information, but rather, empowering people to choose selectively what they share. Privacy means giving individuals control over their personal information, just as they have in traditional finance and the real world.

Consumers expect their transactions to be private by default, so the adoption of stablecoins on privacy-focused blockchains is set to shape the future of web3 commerce. However, Aleph Zero’s privacy also actively addresses anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) requirements. By combining price-stable cryptocurrencies with inherent on-chain anonymity, these networks allow for private, legally-compliant, and censorship-resistant transactions ideal for e-commerce and payments.

“Historically, we talk about fast speeds, low costs and transparency when showcasing the benefits of the next generation of blockchains. However, if we expect private businesses to conduct business on-chain, there will need to be a higher degree of confidentiality to protect sensitive information. Aleph Zero is solving this problem and will unlock the true potential of commerce on chain” states Christian Walker, Chairman & Co-Founder of Stablecoin Standard.

Aside from reconciling in local currencies for businesses on-chain, other exciting use cases that will be explored include on-chain FX and instantaneous international remittance.

Matthew Niemerg, co-founder of Aleph Zero, said: “As one of the fastest layer 1 blockchains, we envision many real-world use cases for Aleph Zero. Our partnership with Stablecoin Standard opens up multiple possibilities and will provide vital services for users who want to transact with stablecoins. With inherent compliant-privacy features like shielded transactions and assets, Aleph Zero can offer the anonymity expected from traditional payments – setting the stage to bring commerce on-chain. By combining speed, safe havens, and transaction privacy, we aim to provide ideal infrastructure for the next generation of web3 adoption.”

Representatives from Stablecoin Standard and Aleph Zero are available for interviews to discuss this release.
