Swisstronik, a blockchain startup designed to build scalable, decentralized applications has announced the launch of its highly anticipated first testnet, Swisstronik Testnet 1.0.
Following an official announcement today, the Swisstronik Testnet 1.0 is now live, offering immediate benefits to dApp developers, including robust encryption and enterprise-grade transaction security, thanks to its innovative utilization of Intel SGX technology.
Swisstronik Testnet 1.0 is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to seamlessly migrate their Ethereum-based dApps and smart contracts to the Swisstronik ecosystem. Furthermore, the platform’s future versions plan to implement the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, enhancing interoperability among Cosmos-based blockchains.
In addition to this, the platform plans to enhance its privacy and security features by incorporating zk-SNARKs in a future update. These cryptographic proofs will enable parties to verify information without revealing sensitive data, making them especially useful for verifying KYC data and personal information while maintaining user privacy.
Swisstronik: A Unique Approach to Privacy and Compliance
Designed to build scalable decentralized applications that ensure users’ privacy while remaining regulatory compliant, Swisstronik seeks to foster real-life adoption of blockchain technology through a robust, user-friendly, and secure network.
Moreso, by addressing critical challenges surrounding legal compliance, data privacy, and interoperability, Swisstronik aims to become the preferred blockchain solution for dApp developers, enterprises, and individuals who value both compliance and privacy. Unlike existing privacy-focused solutions that prioritize anonymity, Swisstronik seeks to harmonize privacy with regulatory requirements.
The platform differentiates itself by utilizing Intel SGX technology, which enables the creation of fully encrypted enclaves for each transaction. As a result, all transaction information is securely hidden from the rest of the network, ensuring privacy and protection against unauthorized access.
Furthermore, to streamline compliance management for companies, Swisstronik introduces its innovative Web3 Compliance Suite. This suite acts as a self-regulating network of local personal data verifiers and compliance partners, reducing the regulatory burden on businesses and ensuring privacy and safety for every user. With this suite, even companies without significant legal expertise can build compliant dApps, making it an attractive option for developers and enterprises alike.
The platform aimed to enable seamless and compliant cross-border operations with the suite. The platform is poised to act as a vital bridge between CBDCs and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, providing compatibility and regulatory adherence.
Swisstronik Launches Bug Bounty Campaign Following Massive Interests From dApp Developers
The announcement further revealed that the launch of Swisstronik Testnet 1.0 has generated significant interest, with over 750 applications from dApp developers seeking early access to the platform. Swisstronik’s unique value proposition, incorporating privacy-preserving technologies and compliance solutions, has captured the attention of the blockchain community.
Swisstronik places a strong emphasis on security and community confidence. Hence, to ensure the integrity of Testnet 1.0, the platform has launched its first Bug Bounty campaign, offering a $70,000 reward fund to researchers and developers who identify and report any vulnerabilities. The proactive approach taken by Swisstronik reaffirms its commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
Notably, the campaign has been scheduled to end on September 15, 2023. Hence, any bugs found after the campaign period will be fixed before the launch of Swisstronik Testnet 2.0 in the autumn.
