Following its collaboration with Renzo and Swell, Polyhedra Network announced a strategic partnership with ether.fi. Polyhedra Network has enabled a trust-minimized interoperability protocol between the Bitcoin network and other blockchain systems through its zkBridge technology and EigenLayer Active Verification Service (AVS), and ether.fi has further provided $3 billion in cryptoeconomic security to the protocol.
Currently, Polyhedra's Bitcoin interoperability protocol has a total of more than $5.3 billion in cryptoeconomic security, supported by ether.fi, Renzo, and Swell's LRT. In addition, its dual staking mechanism also allows future stakers of its ZK tokens (Polyhedra native tokens) in AVS to also receive benefits from its Bitcoin interoperability protocol.
ether.fi will use Polyhedra as its default decentralized validator network (DVN) on LayerZero to improve the security and efficiency of the protocol. Future stakers of ZK tokens will have the opportunity to receive $500,000 in ETHFI token rewards.
