Introduction

Zulu Network is an innovative layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, focusing on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). By leveraging the security and stability of the Bitcoin blockchain, Zulu Network empowers users to participate in staking and contribute to decentralized applications with enhanced scalability and efficiency.

Zulu aims to empower decentralization by harnessing Bitcoin's strength through its innovative Layer 2 Solution optimized for AI + DePIN.

The Native Bitcoin AI+ DePIN Layer

Vision and Mission

At Zulu Network, our vision is to democratize access to staking and participation in decentralized networks, ensuring that everyone can contribute to and benefit from the growing landscape of blockchain technology. Our mission is to provide a seamless and user-friendly platform that integrates DePIN with cutting-edge AI applications.

Zulu Network mission is to build a decentralized ecosystem where AI and DePIN innovations could be powered by staking. By enabling participants to contribute and stake while earning Bitcoin, we foster a thriving community.

Why Bitcoin?

As the first and most secure blockchain, Bitcoin serves as an ideal foundation for our layer 2 solutions. By building on Bitcoin, we inherit its security and decentralization while enabling advanced use cases through our unique architecture.

Bitcoin always finds a way to make itself newly relevant in surprising ways. While maintaining its core use case as a decentralized store of value, ingenious creators build new applications on top that may never have crossed Satoshi's mind. Today, that's DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks.

Bitcoin's robust security model, established network effects, and decentralized nature make it an ideal platform for implementing DePIN solutions. Several key attributes contribute to Bitcoin's suitability for this purpose, enhancing its appeal as a foundational layer for decentralized applications.

Zulu EVM Layer

Layer 2 on Bitcoin, prioritizing EVM compatibility, liquidity, and delivering stable and sophisticated DeFi applications and Financial Services to the Bitcoin Network, while facilitating the integration of existing DePIN implementations to Bitcoin, without the need to navigate to other ecosystems.

Zulu Network is built on a robust architecture that combines Bitcoin’s security features with EVM compatibility, facilitating seamless integration with existing Ethereum dApps, positioning Zulu as a robust platform for AI and DePIN innovations on Bitcoin.

Zulu DePIN Layer

Layer 3 on Bitcoin. It employs a hybrid VM design that is not EVM compatible but supports both UTXO and Account types. This design preserves the capabilities of Bitcoin, while adding extra features, enabling developers to explore new innovative possibilities. on DePIN and AI.

The Zulu Network

The EVM and DePIN layers are interconnected through a seamless bridge, facilitating swift asset transfers between them.

This innovative approach enhances the overall functionality and compatibility of the Zulu Network, marking a significant step forward in the realm of DeFi on the Bitcoin blockchain and beyond.

The validity of Zulu’s state transitions is verified directly on the Bitcoin Network through a bridge, introducing Turing-complete programmability to Bitcoin.
