Opside Validator Whitelist Application - Round II
May 26th, 2023
We always put the community's concerns first. Due to the recent huge enthusiasm from our community to become the Opside validators, we decided to restart the whitelist application now!
Opside Incentivized Pre-alpha Testnet is Now Live!
May 23rd, 2023
We are proud to announce that the Opside Incentivized Pre-alpha Testnet goes live on May 24th and is expected to operate for a duration of approximately three months. This testnet marks a significant milestone, reflecting our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that encourages widespread participation from PoS validators, PoW miners, developers, and end users. In this collaborative setting, Opside aims to test and refine a variety of functionalities, including:
Embracing the Opside Journey: Unveiling the Pre-alpha Testnet and its Incentives
May 16th, 2023
It is with great pleasure that we herald the forthcoming initiation of incentives for the Opside pre-alpha testnet, scheduled to occur in a mere two weeks. This momentous step propels us towards the much-anticipated launch of the Opside mainnet. As a pioneering ZK-RaaS network with the unique feature of ZKP Mining, we wholeheartedly invite all of our cherished community members to actively engage in this thrilling chapter of our journey.

Introduction to Opside (2): ZKP's Two-Step Submission Algorithm
May 5th, 2023
Currently, there are multiple ZK-Rollups running on the Ethereum mainnet. However, the design of decentralized ZK-Rollups is still in its early stages. We are currently focused on the issue of decentralized sequencer, but most people overlook the fact that currently, most ZK-Rollup projects have not implemented decentralized provers.

Opside Tokenomics (Pre-Alpha Version)
April 29th, 2023
Opside is a decentralized ZK-Rollup-as-a-Service (ZK-RaaS) network, founded on the modular blockchain concept. By developing a sophisticated three-layer blockchain architecture, Opside combines the strengths of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanisms. This innovative design offers Web3 developers a robust and feature-rich zkEVM chain, which can be effortlessly generated with just a single click.
In the realm of scalability, the Layer 2 (L2) concept is widely recognized. However, L2's limitations stem from its inability to effectively integrate diverse hardware resources, including data availability, zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) computational capabilities, and peer-to-peer (P2P) nodes. This has given rise to the modular blockchain concept. Opside's innovative three-layer architecture builds upon the L2 foundation by seamlessly incorporating various modules and offering an external Zero-Knowledge-Rollup-as-a-Service (ZK-RaaS) platform.
Introduction to Opside (1): Hybrid Consensus of PoS & PoW
April 29th, 2023
Opside is a 3-layer scaling platform providing ZK-Rollups as a Service, whose layer 2 is an EVM-compatible and Rollup-friendly chain, and layer 3 is a collection of different zkRollups. Layer 2, or Opside chain, has made many system-level optimizations for zkRollup and introduced the concept of the native rollup.
Layer 2 and 3 of the Opside architecture share a consensus mechanism that integrates PoS and PoW.
