Seoul, South Korea, November 21, 2024  – Prom, a scalable network based on Polygon SDK, today announced the launch of its mainnet, following an extensive testnet campaign that saw over 25,000,000 transactions and 2,000,000 unique wallets interacting with a chain. This milestone is a step forward in blockchain scalability, as Prom leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to deliver enhanced throughput, optimized transaction costs, and advanced security.

Prom’s solution addresses the most prevalent problems of modern networks by utilizing ZK-based architecture, which until now have not been widespread due to technical complexity. Its architecture ensures the needed speed, level of security, and seamless interaction with the chain, reducing friction for users and granting developers a flexible framework for building a diverse range of dApps.

“We’re thrilled to open a new chapter for Prom and streamline the expansion of our ecosystem by welcoming developers and users to interact with the chain,” said Iva Wisher, COO of Prom. “We’re committed to constant efficiency improvement, transmitting scalability and convenience of everyday on-chain actions, and we are looking forward to welcoming a wave of products built on our network.” 

The Prom network was developed in collaboration with industry leaders such as Polygon, DWF Labs, Ankr, Goldsky, Automata, and Blockscout to ensure the highest standards of performance and security.

The native network token, $PROM, is powering the Prom network. Listed on Binance, HTX, KuCoin, Gate.io, Upbit, and AscendEx, $PROM is driving fast on-chain interactions, and serving as the governance token for the Prom DAO. Through this community-driven governance model, users are empowered to help shape the future of the Prom ecosystem while benefiting from a percentage of the total network fees.

The mainnet launch opens new doors for developers seeking a platform for building decentralized applications (dApps). With a grant-based support mechanism in place, developers can utilize Prom’s platform to be an ideal environment to easily build and deploy, unlocking greater product scalability and reducing the barriers to entry for development. For users, Prom’s technology ensures lower transaction fees, strong security, and enhanced decentralization.

Ike is proud to announce the official launch of its Liquid Staking Token (LST), sA0, on Aleph Zero. This milestone provides the Aleph Zero community with a new way to engage with the network by offering staking flexibility without compromising on rewards.

What Is sA0?

sA0 is Ike’s native Liquid Staking Token, designed to enhance the staking experience on Aleph Zero. With sA0, users can stake their AZERO tokens to support network security and earn rewards, all while keeping their assets liquid. This means they can use sA0 tokens across Aleph Zero’s ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities for participation and growth. Meaning, sA0 empowers users to “stake and use” at the same time. 

sA0 Benefits

• Liquidity Meets Rewards: Users receive sA0 tokens in exchange for their staked AZERO, enabling them to stay liquid while continuing to earn rewards.
• Smooth Integration: sA0 seamlessly integrates with Aleph Zero’s growing DeFi ecosystem, creating more utility and value for stakers.
• Stronger Network Security: By encouraging greater participation in staking, sA0 supports the overall security and resilience of the Aleph Zero network.

Building Toward Progressive Decentralization

The launch of sA0 is a significant step in Ike’s roadmap toward progressive decentralization. Ensuring most of the slots are open for permissionless entry when governance live, Ike launched with 7 initial validators including Deutsche Telekom & STC Bahrain. As part of this journey, Ike will soon introduce community-driven governance features, including permissionless validator registration, initially scaling to have 30 slots with a fully transparent on-chain bonding process. This will enable a dynamic and competitive validator ecosystem, with the community playing a central role in decision-making.

Stephen Novenstern, Founder at Ike, commented:

“The mainnet launch of sA0 marks an exciting moment for both Ike and the Aleph Zero community. sA0 offers a powerful tool for staking while maintaining liquidity, and it’s just the beginning of our commitment to building a decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. 

From the inception of the Ike Project, we wanted to build a Liquid Staking Protocol that wouldn’t just unlock staked liquidity; we wanted to put the Ike DAO in control of what percentage each Validator gets, and for it to be permissionless to get on the [Validator Registry] list.”

What’s Next?

With sA0 now live, Ike invites the Aleph Zero community to explore the benefits of liquid staking. In the coming months, Ike will focus on expanding the utility of sA0 within the ecosystem and rolling out governance features that further empower the community to shape its future. Users can see more in the Ike Docs here. 

About Ike

Ike is the home of the sA0 Liquid Staking Protocol smart contracts live on Aleph Zero WASM. Together with the community, validators, and other builders in the ecosystem, they are fundamentally reshaping the network, delivering liquidity at the base layer, composable rewards, increasing participation and ultimately enhancing network security. 

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of Ikebana, Ike is committed to fostering a harmonious and resilient ecosystem. By providing users with flexibility and liquidity in their staking journey, Ike empowers the Aleph Zero community to unlock the full potential of their assets while contributing to the network’s growth and stability.
