Welcome to the Zen

Welcome to Zenrock​

The Zenrock project is a unique combination of blockchain and MPC technology deployed in a form factor that is easy to use for Web3 developers. Zenrock provides permissionless access to institutional-grade private key management through a smart contract on any chain or offchain APIs.

Developers can build a single application on any chain that can initiate highly performant and secure settlement of assets on any other chain (EVM, Cosmos, Solana, Bitcoin). These capabilities allow developers to provide a far faster and more secure cross-chain user experience while simplifying development and maintenance.

Remote Control For Your Assets​

Zenrock lets users directly interact with your favorite dapps across supported networks. No need for bridges between the networks. Since the public key and signatures are stored securely and tamperproof on Zenrock, with the possibility of having private transactions, all that needs to be done is assembling the unsigned transaction with the signature and publish it to an RPC node of the destination network. Zenrock has relayers in place for most of the networks already to improve the user experience as much as possible.

This design lets users remotely control their assets from Zenrock and reduces the need for many smart contract hops, wrapping of assets and drastically reduces time and transaction fees. With the possibility of building smart contracts on CosmWasm, Zenrock is a great place for aggregating many cross chain use cases, bundle liquidity and addresses across many networks.

Zenrock Products​

zrChain​

zrChain is Zenrock's own blockchain and the home of the native ROCK token. It is a sovereign application-specific blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. zrChain is secured by the economic security of the ROCK token, but also through assets on Ethereum through an new Eigenlayer integration as zrChain's AVS (Actively Validated Services).

zrChain comes with various tools to make MPC easier to use and access as well as manage the keys and their assets. Workspaces play the core role where users can collectively request keys and signatures to interact across various blockchain networks backed by zrChain's own policy engine that manages authorizations.

Developers can also build their own dApps on zrChain through CosmWasm smart contracts and access the full suite of zrChain features directly.

zenBTC​

ZenBTC is Zenrock's wrapped Bitcoin product that leverages decentralized multi-party computation (dMPC) infrastructure. By using MPCs, ZenBTC provides a more secure and transparent alternative to traditional wrapped Bitcoin solutions that are often opaque and centralized.

Bitcoin private keys are securely generated, shared, and managed across Zenrock’s and partners’ federated MPC nodes, eliminating the need for a single trusted custodian and distributing the custody of the deposited Bitcoin across multiple parties to prevent any single point of failure or mishandling.

Furthermore, zenBTC can be made available across many different networks as a wrapped token representation of Bitcoin with it being primarily managed through zrChain.

Going Omnichain with Zenrock​

With Zenrock and its MPC-capabilities, we want to provide a secure, fast, and convenient way of going to an omnichain future. The Zenrock blockchain both provides ways to request keys and signatures from Zenrock's MPC federation and use them cross-chain and remotely control them without the need to manually hop via bridges and other smart contracts to execute a transaction on a remote network. This approach can not only save gas costs but also bring a performance benefit.

Source Networks​

The Zenrock blockchain is our sovereign application-specific blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK and provides a broad variety of creating workspaces to manage your keys and assets across various destination networks in a secure and efficient manner.

Destination Networks​

While the Cosmos-based Zenrock Blockchain can be used to make requests, we support the most popular networks as destination to execute transactions, such as other EVM networks, Bitcoin, Solana, and the Cosmos ecosystem. The created keys can be reused across networks as long as those networks support the key type, like a secp256k1 ecdsa key can be used for EVM and Cosmos networks.
