dWallet Network Brings Multi-Chain Zero Trust Protocols to Aptos Blockchain

dWallet Network has announced the expansion of its technology to include the first layer blockchain network, Aptos. The move aims to bring Zero Trust Protocols (ZTPs) with inherent cross-chain interoperability capabilities to decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming ecosystems on Aptos.

By integrating dWallet's Zero Trust architecture, ZTPs developed on Aptos will be able to seamlessly sign transactions on Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other blockchain network without the need for bridging mechanisms or token wrapping. The ultimate goal is to open up multi-chain experiences.

Expanding DeFi and gaming within Aptos

According to the latest press release shared with CryptoPotatoThis integration holds special significance for DeFi projects on Aptos. It provides a critical ability to include BTC and ETH transactions natively, representing a milestone in blockchain interoperability and functional diversity.

In a statement, Omar Sadiqa, co-founder of dWallet Network, said that bringing dWallet's decentralized, non-collusive building block to the fast and secure Aptos blockchain enables ZTPs. This would also help expand the horizons of DeFi and gaming protocols within the Aptos ecosystem. This move represents a major leap towards dWallet Network's vision of a zero trust, multi-chain future.

Professor Benny Pinkas, researcher at Aptos, also emphasized the complementarity and said:

“The dWallet team led groundbreaking cryptographic research to deliver the innovative 2PC-MPC protocol, enabling multi-chain Zero Trust. I'm excited that developers in the Aptos ecosystem are able to develop ZTPs that work seamlessly across all of Web3 in a cryptographically secure way.”

Zero Trust Framework

The dWallet Network provides a foundational building block that enables individuals to control any asset and the ability to enforce any logic across any network. dWallets leverages cryptographic signatures, which have traditionally been the default authentication method for blockchain networks.

This makes the signature generated by dWallet indistinguishable from the signature of a regular user from a network perspective.

This capability even extends to non-smart contract networks such as Bitcoin, allowing the creation of Zero Trust Protocols (ZTPs) that operate across networks without the need for bridging mechanisms or token encapsulation.

ZTPs support Web3's core principles of decentralization and user ownership. dWallet's Zero Trust framework represents a big step towards achieving a truly user-centric, interconnected and resilient blockchain infrastructure.

Earlier this year, dWallet Networ announced the addition of support for the EVM-compatible Layer 1 Monad.
