April marked a transformative period for LayerEdge as we advanced our mission to build a decentralized, verifiable internet. This recap highlights our technical achievements, ecosystem growth, and preparations for mainnet launch.
Technical Breakthroughs
Enhanced Proof of Humanity (PoH) System
We implemented a robust anti-Sybil framework through:
- zkPass integration for zero-knowledge identity verification
- Primus smart contracts issuing Human Passports for Pro Trader/Onchain OG roles
- Multi-protocol coordination (Human.Tech, zkPass, Primus)
- Real-time signature validation with off-chain caching for high-load scenarios
Point Locking Infrastructure
Introduced our first staking mechanism:
- Users can lock testnet-earned points for future airdrops
- Dashboard integration complete at 👉 Point Locking Portal
edgenOS Development Progress
- Browser extension (QA phase): Enables background verification tasks
- Desktop client (in development): Windows/macOS/Linux support for high-throughput nodes
Scaling Human Verification
Our PoH system achieved unprecedented results:
- 500,000+ verified human identities
- 1 million+ onchain attestations
- Infrastructure-level trust guarantees for reward distribution
Testnet Phase II: By the Numbers
- 130,000+ CLI node registrations
- 1 billion+ verifications processed
- Light node activity now frozen for reward calculation
Ecosystem Expansion
Educational Initiatives
- Twitter Spaces with zkPass/Primus on ZK identity primitives
Technical explainers on:
- Recursive aggregation mechanics
- Merkle proof batching
- edgenOS' role in modular zk infrastructure
Documentation Overhaul
Completely refreshed technical docs with:
- New architecture guides
- Token utility explanations
- Node operation manuals
EDGEN Token Utility Framework
The native token now enables:
- Payment for zk proof submissions
- Rewards for verification work
- Access to advanced protocol features
- Governance participation
Mainnet Preparation Timeline
We're building toward:
- Bitcoin-anchored proof verification
- Cosmos L1 with IBC connectivity
- Full edgenOS rollout (browser + desktop)
- Decentralized light node network
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Proof of Humanity prevent Sybil attacks?
Our multi-layered approach combines zkKYC verification, onchain activity analysis, and stake-weighted participation to create strong identity guarantees.
When will Phase III testnet begin?
After completing reward distribution for Phase II, we'll announce Phase III dates through our official channels.
Can I run a node on mobile devices?
Currently, edgenOS supports browsers (via extension) and desktop environments. Mobile support may come in future updates.
How are verification rewards calculated?
Rewards consider:
- Task completion volume
- Node uptime
- PoH verification status
- Historical contribution metrics
Looking Ahead
April proved our capacity for scalable decentralized verification. As we approach mainnet, LayerEdge is positioned to become the internet's verification backbone - anchored by Bitcoin's security and powered by community participation.
