Zulu Network recently launched the first innovative solution based on a two-layer architecture to solve the scalability challenges faced by the Bitcoin network. The solution separates transaction processing from the main chain by introducing an intermediate layer, greatly improving transaction throughput and confirmation speed, while maintaining the decentralization and security of the Bitcoin mainnet. This solution has attracted widespread attention in the industry and is expected to become an important engine for building the future Bitcoin ecosystem.
The scalability issues of the Bitcoin network include transaction congestion, block size restrictions, balance between decentralization and security, and limited functionality. To address these issues, Zulu Network launched two major features, ZuluPrime and ZuluNexus. ZuluPrime is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 platform that aims to build a new BitFi (Bitcoin DeFi) ecosystem in the Bitcoin network through smart contracts and decentralized applications. ZuluNexus is a Layer 3 platform that integrates the scalability of UTXO and focuses on the innovation of Bitcoin's original ecosystem and native assets.
Zulu Network’s two-layer architecture not only bridges the gap between Bitcoin’s inherent security and the DeFi world’s pursuit of convenience and efficiency, but also greatly promotes Bitcoin’s transformation beyond its traditional boundaries from a simple cryptocurrency to an unlimited innovation stage.
