Opside ZK Ecological Overview: GameFi, DeFi, NFT, Social, Tool, and other multiple tracks are developing steadily.
Introduction to Opside
Opside is a decentralized ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service) platform and a PoW network that supports ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) mining. Opside uses PoS PoW hybrid consensus to provide Web 3 developers with the ability to generate zkEVM application chains with one click. At the same time, the ZKP computing tasks brought by the large number of ZK-Rollups also generate huge computing power requirements, thus providing a meaningful mining scenario for global miners.
Opsides purpose is to make ZK-Rollup more friendly and popular, thereby making it possible to implement large-scale application chains based on zkEVM. Opside provides the following services and innovations:
ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service): For developers, you can deploy your own ZK-Rollup (zkEVM) on multiple chains with one click;
Opside ZK-PoW Cloud: For miners, Opside is also a multi-chain PoW protocol that supports ZK mining and generates zero-knowledge proofs for ZK-Rollup on multiple public chains.
Advantages of Opside
According to Buterins latest article, it is foreseeable that in the future we will transition from a multi-chain era to a multi-Rollup era. The ZK-Rollup as a Service provided by Opside will make the large-scale implementation of ZK-Rollup possible. Developers do not need to have any ZK knowledge and can create their own ZK-Rollup through front-end selection. The created ZK-Rollup can become the Layer 2 of any public chain (such as Ethereum, BNB Chian or Polygon PoS). The computing power involved will also be provided by the Opside ZK-PoW multi-chain protocol. The development and operation costs of the project side are significantly reduced.
In addition, Opside will launch a specific contract with 0 gas fee in early July. Users will not need to pay any gas fees when using certain dApps on ZK-Rollup. The 0 gas fee contract is designed to solve the current high-barrier dilemma of Web 3 dApps, while also greatly improving user experience.
Opside’s ecological value
Since the launch of the Opside Pre-alpha Testnet on May 24, 2023, the Opside network has received great attention from the market. In just one month, the number of independent addresses on the entire network exceeded 120,000+, the transaction volume reached 5.54 million+, the number of PoS Validators exceeded 12,400, and the number of miners reached 60+. A simple calculation shows that the hardware cost value injected by Opside global community members on Opside has exceeded US$30 million.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Opside’s ZK application ecosystem is also continuing to expand. So far, 6 high-quality project parties have created sovereign ZK-Rollup and deployed related applications, and more than 10 other project parties have deployed it on Opside Public zkEVM. In addition, more than 20 project parties are working with Opside for deployment-related docking and scheduling. Ecological projects involve many popular tracks such as Def, Gamefi, Socialfi, Content, and NFT.

Benefits of deploying on Opside
Opside itself is compatible with EVM, and any Solidity language project can be migrated and deployed at almost zero cost. For new projects, there is no learning cost. Project parties can enjoy the security, low gas fees, and extremely low operating costs brought by ZK-Rollup, and the user experience will also be greatly improved.
We have previously summarized Opside’s eight major innovations:
ZK-RaaS: Opside provides ZK-Rollup as a service solution, which is safer, more trustless, and faster with withdrawals. Supports public chains such as Ethereum/Opside Chain/BNB Chain/Polygon
Fully managed hardware: The two hardware resources required by ZK-Rollup: data availability (analogous to a hard disk) and zkp computing power (analogous to a CPU) are decentralized and provided without permission by PoS and PoW respectively. Developers do not need to bear any hardware costs.
0 gas fee: Based on Opsides innovative economic model, developers pay the rent of the rollup slot and thus bear the cost of ZK-Rollup. If developers wish, users do not need to pay any handling fees, and developers can also choose their own gas tokens.
Fully on-chain: Thanks to extremely low gas fees and high throughput, games, financial derivatives and social products can be fully on-chain.
EVM compatibility: We will transform multiple zkEVM consensus layers (including Polygon zkEVM, Scroll, zkSync, StarkNet, etc.). Developers can freely choose the zkEVM SDK without any migration costs.
Sovereignty: Developers have the sovereignty of ZK-Rollup and can customize the rollup economic model, such as the free choice of 0 gas fee and gas token mentioned above.
Cross-Rollup communication: Different ZK-Rollups will be managed by a unified system contract. They have the same interface specifications and data results, thus enabling native cross-Rollup communication.
More decentralized: Opside Chain adopts the PoS consensus of ETH 2.0 and will have more than 100 K validators. At the same time, the promotion of the Opside multi-chain ZKP mining protocol will also attract more miners to contribute computing power to different ZK-Rollups and jointly maintain the security of the network.
The potential of Opside
Nowadays, more and more developers and project parties have demands for application chains based on zkEVM. They can use Opside ZK-Rollup Launchbase to generate their own zkEVM chain on public chains such as Ethereum/Opside Chain/BNB Chain/Polygon, as well as basic supporting settings such as browsers and bridges. The whole process only takes 10 minutes. Sovereign ZK-Rollup means higher security and stability. 0 gas fee lowers the user threshold, allowing Web 2 traffic to enter Web 3 without any barriers.
In fact, after switching from ETH to PoS, a lot of computing power has nowhere to go. The Opside multi-chain ZKP PoW protocol can be connected to any Rollup, providing them with decentralized computing power and generating ZK proofs. The Opside team has many years of PoW experience and has always maintained good contact with large miners around the world. At present, Ingonyama and others have jointly announced and participated in this test network.
Since the Opside testnet was launched more than a month ago, it has more than 12,000 validators, more than 60 large miners participating, and more than 120,000 independent users participating. More than 30+ project parties are connecting to the Opside network in an orderly manner. The various data of the test network are expected to increase further in the next few months, and we will also synchronize the progress with the community in a timely manner.
Conclusion and Outlook
As a decentralized ZK-RaaS platform and a PoW network that supports ZKP mining, Opside accelerates the large-scale implementation of zkEVM-based application chains. Opside not only provides the function of generating ZK-Rollup application chains with one click, reducing the technical burden for developers, but also uses its ZK-PoW Cloud to meet the computing power needs of ZKP computing tasks caused by the increase in ZK-Rollup, providing a global Miners have created a whole new mining scenario.
Since the launch of the Pre-alpha Testnet on May 24, 2023, Opside has received widespread attention and positive feedback around the world.
With the continuous advancement and development of Rollup, there is reason to expect that ZK-Rollup technology will be popularized in more application scenarios. The emergence and development of Opside have made it possible for ZKRollup to be implemented on a large scale, and also provided new mining opportunities for miners. Opside has many years of practical experience in PoW and maintains good cooperative relationships with large miners around the world, which has laid a solid foundation for Opsides future development.
