ChainCatcher news, ZK technology developer =nil;Foundation announced early this morning on platform X that the Devnet development network is officially online.Devnet will allow users to deploy contracts, interact with them, and retrieve contract states, demonstrating both synchronous and asynchronous contract calls in various scenarios, focusing on the development of various DEX architectures.

ChainCatcher message, ZK infrastructure and Ethereum scalability solution developer=nil; Foundation announced the public product roadmap, which will launch Devnet in July, ecosystem testnet V1 in November, testnet V2 and V3 in Q2 and Q3 of 2025, and the mainnet Alpha version in Q4 of 2025.=nil; Foundation will transition from the Alpha phase to full decentralization.In Devnet, users can deploy contracts, interact with contracts, retrieve contract states, and demonstrate various scenarios of synchronous and asynchronous contract calls. Devnet focuses on the development of various DEX architectures.

ChainCatcher news, ZK technology developer =nil; announced on social media that co-founder Konstantin Lomashuk will serve as the new CEO of =nil; former CEO Misha Komarov will transition to a strategic role within the =nil; ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, ZK technology developer=nil; Foundation announces the launch of a new Type-1 zkEVM, powered by zkLLVM, aimed at enhancing the security of Ethereum scaling. The zkEVM V1 is now open to the public, including a prototype codebase, specifications, and related blog posts.=nil; Utilizing zkLLVM to automatically compile high-level code (such as C++ or Rust) into efficient zk-SNARK circuits, this automated compilation method contrasts with the traditional manual circuit definition approach. =nil; Key features of zkEVM include auditability (the C++ compiled circuit approach is more feasible and cost-effective, making it easier to audit); upgradability (changes to the EVM can easily and automatically recompile the circuit); compatibility (Type-1 bytecode is closest to the C++ version of the Ethereum base execution environment, evmone).According to the crypto data platform RootData, ZK technology developer=nil; Foundation completed a $22 million funding round at a valuation of $220 million in January this year.

ChainCatcher news, the Lido ecosystem organization Lido DAO is funding =nil; Foundation and Metacraft Labs to explore the use of zkLLVM technology for additional soundness and correctness checks on the trustless zk-proof TVL oracle through LEGO (Lido Ecosystem Grants Organisation). This funding aims to build trustless accounting technology, which, if implemented, will serve as an additional check for the oracle without completely replacing the current accounting oracle; it focuses on supporting decentralization and reducing trust in the oracle accounting process, providing better decentralized support for existing protocols.Lido also stated that if zk-proof technology proves to be efficient, secure, and beneficial for the operation of the Lido Protocol oracle accounting, there may be a gradual rollout of broader functionalities across the entire oracle system in the future.
