Relatórios (The Block): Omni Network, uma solução de escalonamento Ethereum construída em EigenLayer, lançou sua rede principal Omni Core na terça-feira.
O protocolo visa unificar o ecossistema fragmentado Ethereum Layer 2, facilitando a comunicação e interoperabilidade entre cadeias.
A solução de escalonamento Ethereum Omni Network lançou sua rede principal Omni Core na terça-feira, de acordo com um anúncio. O sistema servirá como “camada base” para o Omni Orderflow Engine, que visa unificar o ecossistema fragmentado Ethereum Layer 2.
“O aumento nos acúmulos de Ethereum resultou em US$ 58 bilhões em valor total bloqueado (TVL) distribuídos por mais de 40 redes, criando desafios significativos para usuários e desenvolvedores”, escreveu a equipe em um comunicado. “A Omni pretende reintegrar este ecossistema para que usuários e desenvolvedores possam interagir com Ethereum tão facilmente quanto interagem com uma única cadeia unificada.”
Omni should not be confused with the similarly named secondary network of Bitcoin; it represents an early experiment unlocked by the emerging world of 'restaking'. Restaking is the reuse of staked assets (such as ETH) to simultaneously secure multiple blockchain networks and applications, theoretically expanding the value of proof-of-stake (PoS) networks and supporting a range of novel applications.
Restaking was initially introduced through the experimental protocol EigenLayer and has become one of the hottest and most promising research areas in Ethereum. However, so far, only a few applications have truly leveraged the potential benefits unlocked by this advanced security measure.
Specifically, Omni launched in 2023 with the aim of improving cross-chain interoperability among the diverse L2 ecosystem of Ethereum. While Layer 2 solutions help reduce transaction costs, foster their unique cultures, and provide more suitable technical solutions for specific applications, these diverse ecosystems disperse liquidity and Ethereum's overall user base.
"Fragmentation limits Ethereum's true potential. Liquidity is dispersed, and users face unnecessary friction when moving between different rollups," said Chief Technology Officer Tyler Tarsi in a statement.
Omni Core consists of a cross-chain messaging protocol and a customized EVM, aimed at 'abstracting' cross-rollup interactions to make the ecosystem appear unified and provide a 'seamless user experience.' Together with the upcoming updated Omni SolverNet, Omni Core acts as part of the Orderflow Engine, responsible for validating transactions and exchanging information across chains.
At launch, Omni will support interoperability between the Ethereum base chain and the largest Layer 2 solutions, including Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, which together account for over 90% of the total value locked. By improving interoperability, Omni aims to support tools currently difficult to launch, such as cross-rollup stablecoins and DeFi-native tools for aggregating multi-source liquidity.
This protocol is built using the open-source Octane framework developed by the Omni team, designed to simplify the integration of EVM with any decentralized application (dApp). Octane combines EVM capabilities with the Cosmos-related consensus engine CometBFT, providing high transaction throughput by simultaneously running consensus and execution processes.
Last year, the Omni team raised $18 million from investors including Pantera Capital, Hashed Fund, Jump Crypto, and Two Sigma Ventures.
