A new research report from Reflexivity Research explores why ZKsync is the best place for teams to deploy their customizable blockchain: https://lnkd.in/eWAvCDDC Fully customizable: Flexibility to select gas token, data availability model, privacy settings, permissioning, and more. Interoperable: Later this year, ZK Chains will be natively interoperable, allowing chains to share users and liquidity across the Elastic Chain. Improved UX: Native Account Abstraction allows chains and builders to create a Web2 style UX with passkeys, biometric authentication, and gas abstraction. Read the full report to learn why Memento Blockchain, QuarkID, Treasure, and others are deploying ZK Chains on ZKsync.

Memento ZKchain is a core component of the Project DAMA II tech stack to redefine fund management, onchain. Leveraging ZKsync’s technology, Memento Blockchain is designed to facilitate the management and distribution of tokenized traditional investment funds, digital native funds, and hybrid funds.
Wrapping up an incredible week in Fintech! The week began with GFTN's Insight Forum on Monday and Tuesday, which just keeps growing in size, quality, and relevance. Kudos to the team for assembling such a powerful lineup of topics and speakers! Tuesday also saw Deutsche Bank Innovation Day, another fantastic event pushing boundaries in the financial space. Then, the well-documented Singapore FinTech Festival took the spotlight—featuring our TED Talk, countless insightful meetings with future partners and collaborators, and a rich agenda full of industry leaders sharing their expertise. And let's not forget the bustling evening events. Thank you to the Embassy of Italy in Singapore, StraitsX, Merkle Science, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Riverchain, Illuminate Financial, Mastercard, Stripe, SIX, AsiaNext, and Tenity . Each event was packed with meaningful interactions, awesome venues, and a mix of new faces and old friends. The special highlight was of course unveiling our Project DAMA, an ambitious initiative we’ve been developing to redefine fund management in a blockchain-driven world together with Deutsche Bank and Interop Labs, and with the support of Matter Labs. This project is set to be completed in the coming months, so stay tuned, in the meantime check out the official video we prepared for the occasion below! All in all, this year’s SFF was another resounding success, solidifying its role as the world’s top fintech festival. Looking forward to seeing everyone next year to celebrate our continued growth!

Buenos Aires City Government is the first city to issue decentralized IDs to its citizens. By integrating QuarkID into the miBA platform, over 3.6M Buenos Aires citizens now have control over their documents via blockchain and ZK proofs, with ZKsync Era serving as the settlement layer. Read more here → https://lnkd.in/dWT-gz7r -- -- -- Over the past year, Buenos Aires City Government, Matter Labs, Extrimian and many other parties have been co-developing QuarkID, an open source protocol to issue decentralized identifiers (#DIDs) for Argentina's capital city. Using ZK proofs, data stored in QuarkID wallets is self-sovereign. Citizens have full control over their personal data when interacting with government and administrative services. Rather than relying on physical documents that expose unnecessary information, residents can now verify their credentials peer-to-peer. No third party, including the government, can track when, how, or why a credential is being used. Functionally, over 3.6M miBA users will be able to access birth/marriage/death certificates, vaccinations, tax records, credentials, and more documents in the coming months. These credentials are owned by the citizens and secured by ZKsync Era. The government of Buenos Aires no longer has any visibility into how, where, or when these identity documents are used. QuarkID’s integration with miBA is the first step. As a protocol, QuarkID will power new #DID use cases beyond government certification, such as financial services, healthcare, sports/loyalty, enterprise, and more. And Buenos Aires is the first government to adopt and deploy this technology, with many others across LATAM to follow-suit. The blockchain revolution will come through real-world use cases as governments, enterprises, and consumers start to see the benefits of privacy, self-sovereignty, and security. Buenos Aires and Quark_ID are leading that charge, powered by ZKsync.

ZKsync continues to be the go-to chain for financial institutions after participating in an industry-wide initiative, led by Chainlink Labs. An initiative, led by Chainlink Labs, Euroclear, Swift, and 6 financial institutions showcases how AI, decentralized oracles, and blockchain can address inefficiencies in executing corporate actions like dividends, stock splits, and M&A’s. By creating a unified, tamper-proof golden record of corporate action data, accessible across multiple blockchains, including ZKsync Era, the initiative aims to streamline processes that have historically been slow and costly. Read the full report to learn how this initiative aims to reshape corporate actions: https://lnkd.in/gGtpyjEQ
We're excited to announce the results of an industry-wide corporate actions initiative between Chainlink, Euroclear, Swift, and 6 major financial institutions. We successfully demonstrated how AI, oracles, and blockchains can solve a decades-long unstructured data challenge in finance. Read the full report, which covers the solution design, key outcomes, participant insights, and the next phase of the initiative: https://lnkd.in/gGtpyjEQ The Challenges With Corporate Actions Today Today’s inefficient corporate action processes cost regional investor, broker, and custodian businesses approximately $3-5 million each annually, with 75% of firms re-validating custodian and exchange data manually. Key challenges include: • No standard method for announcing events • Extensive manual data cleaning efforts • Lack of standardized data • Fragmented ecosystem • No single source of truth The Unified Golden Record: A Novel Architecture Combining AI, Oracles, and Blockchains To address this challenge, we convened a consortium of major participants from across the industry, including financial and market infrastructures Euroclear and Swift, as well as major financial institutions UBS, Franklin Templeton, Wellington Management, CACEIS, Vontobel, and Sygnum Bank. This initiative leverages AI models, oracles, and blockchains to create unified golden records of corporate action data that are synchronized across multiple blockchains. The LLM models used by the Chainlink oracle network in this approach included LLMs by OpenAI (ChatGPT 4o), Google (Gemini 1.5), and Anthropic (Claude 3.5), but the design is agnostic to any LLM model. Three blockchain ecosystems were involved: Hyperledger Besu, Avalanche, and ZKsync. This approach not only reduces uncertainty around using novel LLM models but also distributes data nearly instantaneously on shared infrastructure to provide an onchain unified golden record for asset managers, CSDs, and custodian service providers. Results: A Significant Architecture Milestone The initiative achieved a significant architecture milestone in the journey to improve the management and dissemination of corporate actions data. Key outcomes include: • Established a novel data extraction and structuring process • Success in LLM consensus framework for financial data • Near real-time data distribution The Path Forward With the next upcoming phase of the initiative, we aim to integrate established ISO standards, along with Swift messaging and connectivity, unified golden records interoperable with and consumable by existing mission-critical portfolio processing and management systems utilized by financial institutions. Our vision is to expand the scope of the unified golden record model by converting additional sources of unstructured data into structured data for financial assets, expanding the benefits of AI and Chainlink oracles to the wider financial industry.
