The industry-leading omnichain network infrastructure built upon Light-client and zk-SNARK, MAP Protocol, has announced its partnership with Harmony, an open and fast blockchain that runs Ethereum applications with 2-second transaction finality and 100 times lower fees. MAP and Harmony will work closely together to build a trustless bridge connecting to every EVM and non-EVM chains using MAP\u2019s omnichain network infrastructure <\/a>with the best security and cost-efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting Harmony with All Public Chains through MAP Protocol\u2019s Omnichain Network Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MAP CTO, Phil Lau, said of the strategic cross-chain partnership, \u201cIt is fascinating to know that Harmony\u2019s crosschain value aligns with MAP Protocol perfectly: developing a trustless solution that safeguards user\u2019s assets with the best security and cost-efficiency. A trustless bridge requires a significant amount of time and technical knowledge to build. We are very excited to work with Harmony to overcome technological barriers collaboratively and accomplish the best cross-chain solution for Harmony\u2019s community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmony CTO, Rongjian Lan, said, \u201cMAP Protocol\u2019s cross-chain technology is one of the safest and cost-effective cross-chain solutions in the market. Our partnership with them will connect Harmony\u2019s community with all the public chains efficiently and securely. We look forward to working closely with MAP and offering our community the best cross-chain experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAP Protocol Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Security Finality<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAP Protocol provides blockchain-level security via independent self-verification cross-chain verification network with light-client and zk-SNARK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Minimum Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On MAP Protocol, no additional cost for cross-chain transactions other than gas fees. MAP is conducting continuous R&D on zk-SNARK to further reduce gas fee to mininum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. All-chain Coverage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAP Protocol extends EVM layer of MAP Relay Chain with pre-compiled smart contracts of public chains to seamlessly connect all EVM & non-EVM chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Instant Confirmation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAP Protocol confirms cross-chain transactions instantly. Confirmation speed is only limited to each chain\u2019s block time thanks to our trustless structural design and continuous optimization of workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Developer Ready<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAP Protocol provides effortless integration via SDKs to dApp developers for straightforward omnichain application deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits to Harmony\u2019s Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Connecting Harmony with all EVM and non-EVM chains securely with blockchain-level security of MAP Protocol.<\/li>
  2. Harmony\u2019s developer can build an omnichain application directly or upgrade their existing single-chain application to an omnichain application effortlessly through MAP\u2019s SDK.<\/li>
  3. MAP\u2019s omnichain network allows Web3 residents from other chains to participate in Harmony\u2019s ecosystem, and provides an user-friendly access for Web2 residents to enter into Harmony community, which drives new traffic and assets to Harmony, thus further enlarge Harmony community.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
