## Q1. What is LayerNet and how does it integrate with Solana and Telegram?
LayerNet is a pioneering gaming platform designed to integrate seamlessly with <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> and Telegram. It is the first zk-based infrastructure on Solana, comparable to StarkEx behind IMX. LayerNet aims to onboard Telegram’s 900 million users into a dedicated space within Solana’s framework, offering zero gas fees and robust security. This platform allows developers to build applications using Solana’s components and security through the LayerNet SDK.

## Q2. How does LayerNet lower the barrier for Web2 users to enter Web3?
LayerNet, much like Solana’s Blinks, aims to lower the entry barrier for Web2 users by providing a user-friendly and enjoyable experience. By integrating with Telegram, a widely used Web2 platform, LayerNet offers a familiar interface while leveraging Solana’s advanced blockchain technology to ensure a seamless transition to Web3.

## Q3.Can you explain the two layers of LayerNet and their functionalities?
LayerNet consists of two main layers: the infrastructure layer and the Telegram mini-app layer. The infrastructure layer is the first zk-based infrastructure project on Solana, packaging Telegram’s 900 million users into a dedicated space within Solana. The Telegram mini-app layer allows developers to build applications similar to IMX and DYDX using the LayerNet SDK, utilizing Solana’s security and components.

## Q4.What are the potential benefits of LayerNet for developers and users?
For developers, LayerNet provides a robust SDK to build and launch applications quickly, leveraging Solana’s high throughput and security. Users benefit from zero gas fees, a seamless and secure gaming experience, and the ability to interact with a vast ecosystem of applications and games directly within Telegram.

## Q5. What milestones has LayerNet achieved so far?
LayerNet has already made significant progress, including the sale of 2096 Energizer NFTs and 200 nodes. It launched a Telegram mini-game that reached 150,000 users in 24 hours and surpassed 1 million users in just four days. Additionally, the $NET IDO on Bybit attracted over 13,000 participants in 24 hours, with 8,000 new users, showcasing strong market interest.
