NVIDIA developer program is a platform through which the company distributes essential elements of the NVIDIA SDK and interacts with the developer community. Membership in the program provides access to NVIDIA’s latest technology. 

MAP Protocol Advances Cross-Chain Interoperability

MAP Protocol serves as a Bitcoin Layer 2 platform focused on cross-chain interoperability. It offers the necessary infrastructure and elements for decentralized applications (dApps) and projects to achieve interoperability between Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions and various widely used public blockchains. 

Built on zero-knowledge light-client technology, MAP Protocol’s interoperable cross-chain solution is peer-to-peer, without any trusted third-party entities. This approach transforms isolated Bitcoin Layer 2 networks or blockchains that rely on third-party bridges into an integrated and decentralized Bitcoin ecosystem suitable for application development platforms and Web3 user gateway. 

Last year, the MAP Protocol established a connection with the AI public chain NEAR and received official funding. This followed its contribution to enabling asset cross-chain capabilities between NEAR Protocol, a non-EVM chain, and EVM chains by developing a trustless cross-chain bridge. The grant is intended to enhance MAP Protocol’s omnichain ecosystem.

MAP Protocol intends to facilitate interoperability between NEAR Protocol and the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem within the current month. With access to the shared tools, platforms, and frameworks provided by the NVIDIA developer program, the protocol plans to enhance the NEAR Protocol, thereby expediting the development of cross-chain interoperability.

MAP Protocol’s collaboration with the NVIDIA developer program marks a strategic move to accelerate the development of Bitcoin interoperability technology, leveraging AI advancements to drive innovation in the blockchain space.
