Zulu Network – A New Introduction
Zulu Network, a trailblazer in Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, features a distinctive two-tiered architecture. This platform accommodates both EVM and UTXO, leading to groundbreaking progress in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The Zulu Network introduces a pioneering dual-layer architecture on Bitcoin, incorporating L2 and L3.
ZuluPrime (EVM)
An EVM-compatible L2 platform aimed at building a new BitFi (Bitcoin DeFi) ecosystem through smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).
ZuluNexus (UTXO)
A L3 platform that integrates the scalability of UTXO and focuses on innovation of Bitcoin’s original ecosystem and native assets.
Decentralized Bitcoin Bridge Infrastructure
Zulu Network is in the process of creating the initial decentralized Bitcoin bridges. These bridges will link all Bitcoin Layer 2s and the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem to the Bitcoin network.
Furthermore, Zulu is developing and supporting a diverse ecosystem within the Bitcoin economy. This enables native Bitcoin assets to interact with advanced DeFi applications and financial services, all while maintaining the Bitcoin Network’s original security, dependability, and functionality.
“Zulu Network’s innovative dual-layer network structure within the Bitcoin ecosystem not only provides users with more stable and innovative services but also offers tremendous value and potential for DeFi applications. The EVM compatibility and smart contract functionality of ZuluPrime, along with the hybrid design of UTXO and account types in ZuluNexus, represent new directions for the future development of the Bitcoin ecosystem” — Steve Chiu, founder of CGV, a leading blockchain investment and fund of funds (FoF)
