ChainCatcher news, the oracle network Blocksense Network has completed a $4 million seed round financing, led by Permutation, with participation from a16z's Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX), Scott Moore, Public Works, Tykhe Block Ventures, Selini Capital, and MH Ventures.It is reported that Blocksense is an oracle solution based on Zk Rollup, which reduces high costs through tightly packed data blocks, introduces a transparent charging model, and provides a fully decentralized, permissionless data feed, aiming to fundamentally change the oracle network. Anyone can become a data provider on the network by staking BlockSense tokens, and nodes will automatically execute all reporting tasks by obtaining the appropriate oracle scripts and broadcasting their results to the BlockSense network.

ChainCatcher news, according to News.bitcoin, Web3 developer Quicknode's Vice President of Products Josh Neuroth stated that ZK Rollups provide tangible benefits in transaction throughput and data confidentiality, making these L2 solutions more of a foundational technology rather than a fleeting trend. Furthermore, as the technology behind these L2 solutions matures, more projects are adopting them, and the Web3 space may witness lasting improvements in blockchain performance and user experience.Meanwhile, Neuroth expressed his agreement with Bitcoin extremist David Sorey's view that ZK Rollups are a missing piece in the Bitcoin network's scalability and privacy. He explained that ZK Rollups ultimately "help Bitcoin overcome its current limitations and compete with other blockchain networks that offer advanced features."

This means that users will now need to run multiple rollups themselves to withdraw DeFi positions from the platform, and they will likely have to pay over $200 in Ethereum gas fees, while also independently addressing any security issues.It is reported that Aztec Labs has provided two code repositories on GitHub, namely aztec-v2-ejector and aztec-connect-ejector, for users to reference on how to withdraw safely.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin ZK Rollup protocol Citrea has completed a $2.7 million seed round financing, led by Galaxy Ventures, with participation from Delphi Ventures, Taproot Wizards co-founder Eric Wall, and Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun, among others. Citrea plans to use zero-knowledge cryptography to help develop the DeFi and NFT ecosystem within Bitcoin.Citrea's ZK Rollup will be based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which means developers will be able to migrate their applications built for Ethereum and other compatible networks. Citrea has not yet launched, but the team plans to release a test network in the next quarter.
