Privacy-focused Zcash (ZEC) will be the first coin supported by Wrapped—a cross-chain bridge that allows for bringing various cryptos onto the EthereumEthereum blockchain, Tokensoft and Anchorage jointly announced on Wednesday.
We're proud to support the launch of https://t.co/HNroVZlw9J, a collaboration with @Anchorage and @cmsholdings. A partnership designed to provide access to layer one protocols, more about the partnership here: https://t.co/NAOt4w03pW
— Tokensoft Inc. (@TokensoftInc) October 21, 2020
The bridge will enable Zcash holders to use their shielded ZEC on Ethereum, including on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms such as Maker, Uniswap and Compound.
“By bringing new liquidity sources into DeFi, and enabling users to benefit from those qualities that make layer one protocols unique, Wrapped is a boon for both market participants and the broader ecosystem,” said Nathan McCauley, Anchorage co-founder and CEO.
To move a coin onto a different blockchain—in this case, ZEC onto Ethereum—a special smart contract first locks up (stakes) the original coins in their native network, and then creates a “wrapped” copy of them on a new blockchain at 1:1 ratio.
These wrapped coins fully retain the original’s price and functionality. If a user wants to return their assets to the original blockchain, the smart contract will simply unlock them—and burn the corresponding amount of wrapped coins on Ethereum.
Per the announcement, WZEC is based on the ERC-1404 token standard developed by Tokensoft. It allows “for the free transfer of WZEC along with incorporation of applicable compliance requirements globally.”
Within the partnership, blockchain company Tokensoft will focus on the technical development of the new system while institutional digital asset platform Anchorage will provide custody for Wrapped Zcash’s (WZEC) underlying assets.
Close to 80,000 Bitcoin have now been transferred to the Ethereum blockchain, as DeFi protocols attract value back to their liquidity pools following an early September crypto market correction. Even as prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum fell starting September 1, BTC transferred onto the Ethereum blockchain has already increased nearly 37% so far this month, according to data from Dune Analytics. The increase in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and other cross-chain Bitcoin lockups has pushed their aggrega...
“We’re looking forward to enabling a more interoperable form of Zcash with WZEC," said Mason Borda, CEO of Tokensoft. "Users of WZEC will have the ability to use their Zcash in a variety of DeFi applications. Additionally, exchanges will now be able to hold Zcash while meeting their compliance requirements,”
Apart from Zcash, wrapped versions of Handshake, Avalanche and Celo are also currently “in consideration,” the companies noted.
New quantum physics experiments may soon test a question as old as humankind: Do we truly have free will? Researchers say they are closing in on a way to determine whether our choices are truly our own or dictated by hidden laws of physics, according to a report published in New Scientist on Tuesday. Quantum experiments have been designed to test the so-called “measurement independence assumption,” which proposes that hidden variables do not influence the settings chosen by experimenters, thereb...
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin thinks ETH could be a viable alternative to attempts by Sweden and Norway to make their societies cashless. The countries pulled back recently after discovering that centralized payment systems collapse when physical infrastructures fail. But in the crypto world, this move prompted a different response: The idea that decentralized systems could take on the role. "Nordics are walking back the cashless society initiative because their centralized implementation...
Robots are fighting each other now—and they’re pretty good at it. On Monday, the Chinese Media Group (CMG) World Robot Competition—Mecha Fighting Series took place in what was branded as the "first humanoid boxing match,” although the event was closer to a mixed martial arts competition. Four robots faced off in a boxing ring controlled by ringside humans, in a surprisingly enjoyable display of cyborg athleticism. Created by manufacturer Unitree, the competing robots were able to throw hooks, j...
