A Comprehensive Guide to LayerEdge

LayerEdge is an innovative Layer 2 protocol for Bitcoin that combines the security of Bitcoin's proof of work (PoW) with zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology. This allows for low-cost and efficient verification of off-chain computations. LayerEdge is not just for financial transactions; it also finds applications in decentralized identity (DID), on-chain gaming, the Internet of Things (IoT), and more. Its goal is to turn Bitcoin into a decentralized supercomputer and to support the growth of the Web3 ecosystem.
