Zircuit is a completely EVM-compatible ZK rollup with parallelised circuits and AI-enabled security. Today, the company unveiled its Build to Earn initiative to encourage builders, entrepreneurs, and community members to contribute to the Zircuit ecosystem. Zircuit is now backed by Maelstrom, Dragonfly Capital, and Pantera Capital, with over $800 million staked.
Projects that launch on Zircuit will benefit from enhanced security guarantees and protection from attacks through its innovative AI-enabled security features. Zircuit is a sandbox for new applications and open experimentation. To improve the developer experience for new builders joining the Zircuit Network, Zircuit introduced the Build to Earn initiative. Developers and ecosystem contributors who take part in Zircuit’s Build to Earn initiative are eligible to get paid for contributions that are accepted.
The following are the methods that developers and ecosystem contributors can take part in Build to Earn:
- Building a Mainnet Day 1 Launch Project.
- Developing ecosystem tools.
- Deploying critical infrastructure.
- Referring Zircuit to builders.
With applications in rapidly expanding industries including restaking applications, AI, and DeFi, Zircuit is expanding its ecosystem. The increasing roster of exclusive launch partners, which now includes Ethena, Ether.fi, KelpDAO, Renzo, Hashflow, API3, Galxe, Elixir, Blocto, Eigenpie, and many more, will include projects who join Zircuit through Build to Earn.
The Build to Earn program was introduced after Zircuit’s staking program was successfully launched. Through Zircuit Staking, users can pre-commit assets to the network that will be moved upon the launch of the Zircuit mainnet. To earn Zircuit Points, users can deposit ETH, USDe (Ethena USD), liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs). Recently, Zircuit and Pendle teamed up to increase the production of ezETH, the cryptocurrency used by Renzo Protocol.
