According to Foresight News and The Block, cryptocurrency startup Vlayer, which is developing 'Solidity 2.0', has completed a $10 million pre-seed funding round, with participation from a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX), Credo Ventures, BlockTower Capital, and others.
Vlayer is a cryptocurrency startup developing 'verifiable data infrastructure' (also known as 'Solidity 2.0'), aimed at enabling developers to verify and integrate real-world data into Ethereum smart contracts. Vlayer will introduce four new features to Ethereum's Solidity language: time travel (executing smart contracts using historical on-chain data), teleportation (running contracts across multiple EVM-compatible networks), Web proof / zkTLS (verifying and integrating web content, including APIs and websites), and email proof / ZK email (accessing and verifying email content).
