A historic event in the development of blockchain gaming occurred when Orochi Network and Zypher Network signed a strategic partnership agreement. This partnership uses complementary features of both networks to improve security, scalability, and features within the gaming space with the power of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).

About the Networks
Approved by the Ethereum Foundation, Orochi is the first zkDA Layer, ensuring the safety and efficiency of Web3, AI/ML, and enterprise solutions. While Zypher Network is an active participant in the industry of data-verifiability layers for gaming, it helps integrate traditional games for blockchain using its modular ZK stack.
This kind of partnership between Orochi and Zypher is a step towards achieving what can be considered revolutionary blockchain gaming integrated with trust and security in the gaming experiences.
Shared Vision for Gaming and Data Integrity
Orochi and Zypher both have the same goal of increasing on-chain game capabilities. Zypher will be able to deliver better gaming experiences by integrating Orcachi’s advanced zero-knowledge solutions, such as Oran,d, which is a verifiable randomness beacon and Orocle, an oracle service.
Orand: Procedures that offer random or unpredictable game mechanics while also maintaining that the game was not tampered with.
Orocle: Adds elements of reality in games to make the gameplay deeper and more satisfactory.
Orochi’s game tools will be adopted by Zypher Network, which has a modular ZK stack and leverages Artificial Intelligence tools for video games.
Empowering Developers with zkDatabase
A key focus of the partnership is Orochi’s zkDatabase, a transformative technology that brings privacy, verifiability, and transparency to gaming:
Private and Verifiable Ownership: The private and secure ability to own items/weapons/vehicles within a game and track personal achievements.
On-Chain Game Logic: Ensures that all players follow the right competition regulations and guarantees a smooth and clear outcome.
Trustworthy Play-to-Earn: Strengthens the credibility of blockchain-based reward programs.
Integrating zkDatabase within Zypher’s gaming platform will benefit developers by providing them with means that will enable them to create a higher standard of trustworthy and efficient play-to-earn games on Web3.
Introducing zkDAL: Unlocking New Possibilities
In the meantime, the companies have tied up, and Orochi will soon be releasing its zkDAL, Zero-Knowledge Data Access Layer. Zypher Network stands among the pioneer adopters of this platform, which securely opens a vast dataset outside the blockchain. Using zkDAL, developers can create zkApps, dApps, and smart contracts connected to real-world references to bring new capabilities into the world.
A Unified Approach to Innovation
Through research and development, both platforms are dedicated to uncovering new uses of zero-knowledge technology. This partnership then cements each of them as pioneers in their respective domains of blockchain gaming and ZKPs for further evolution.
