ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement from the Starknet Foundation, the technical team of the Bitcoin settlement network Chakra Network has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Starknet to jointly promote the development of Bitcoin infrastructure.Chakra's proof based on ZK-Starks can trustlessly synchronize and settle Bitcoin states, introducing Bitcoin liquidity to the Starknet mainnet and supporting asset settlement for various protocols in the ecosystem. The first phase of the testnet has been launched based on Babylon to ensure the economic security of the future settlement layer. Meanwhile, the Chakra technical team will also assist Starknet in implementing parallelization and promote the development of its shared sequencer.

ChainCatcher news, the lightweight blockchain Mina has released the Mina Public Roadmap, which is divided into 5 phases: Trust Minimization, ZK Programmability, Settlement Layer Performance, Recursive Rollups, and Road to DAOification.Among them, Trust Minimization will protect the protocol from centralized attacks and biases, and will add decentralized data storage to Mina's functionality. ZK Programmability will build a better ZK programmable layer on Mina through scalable verification and zero-knowledge privacy; Settlement Layer Performance will optimize Mina's latency, finality, and throughput; and trustless bridging between chains will be achieved through recursive ZKP.

ChainCatcher news, the Cosmos ecosystem modular settlement layer Dymension revealed on its official Twitter that it will soon launch a testnet.It is reported that Dymension is a sovereign Rollup built on Cosmos, aimed at simplifying the development of RollApps (Rollups focused on custom applications) through Dymension Chain (settlement layer), RDK (RollApp Development Kit), and IRC. Like Cosmos, Dymension RollApps aim to create blockchains for specific applications to reduce consensus overhead. (source link)
