According to ChainCatcher, Nuffle Labs, an independent entity separated from the NEAR Foundation, released a technical roadmap. Nuffle Labs will focus on providing modular infrastructure for other projects in the last two quarters of 2024.
The specific roadmap includes: the NEAR fast finality layer NFFL mainnet will be launched in early Q3; cross-chain interactive NFFL applications will be developed in Q3; NEAR DA stateless verification will reduce NEAR validator hardware requirements in Q3; Chain Signatures will be launched on the mainnet in Q3. Chain Signatures is a new protocol that utilizes MPC technology, allowing NEAR accounts to send transactions to any ECDSA chain.
According to data from the encryption platform RootData, Nuffle Labs announced in June that it had completed a $13 million strategic financing round led by Electric Capital. Nuffle Labs built NEAR's data availability layer (NEAR DA), NEAR fast finality layer (NFFL) and other products in the NEAR modular product suite.
