According to BlockBeats, on July 5, according to official news, Nuffle Labs released a technical roadmap and will provide modular infrastructure for other projects in the second half of the year. 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 uses MPC technology to allow NEAR accounts to send transactions to any ECDSA chain.
BlockBeats previously reported that on June 13, the NEAR Foundation announced that it had established Nuffle Labs and received $13 million in funding. The spin-off aims to advance the modularity of NEAR and bring more decentralized development to the ecosystem. The fundraising included grants from the foundation and external investment from Electric Capital. Also involved were Canonical Crypto, Fabric Ventures, Robot Ventures, Caladan, and Lyrik Ventures.
