Lay2 Project Awarded Ecosystem Grant

Mar 12 · 3 min read

Nervos is still in its infancy as a public chain. Many of the grant projects that have joined our ecosystem so far are actively building the infrastructure to facilitate growth and developer on-boarding. Today we welcome Lay2, our 6th grant recipient!

Goal: Make CKB available to everyone

The Nervos cell model and the RISC-V based VM of CKB provide unprecedented flexibility and extensibility, forging new paths for Nervos.

The Lay2 project team is designing an original product— pw-sdk.

Different from ordinary sdks, dApps developed with pw-sdk (called pw-dapps) can directly run in wallets of Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Tron, etc. No specific development is required on the wallet side to support pw-dapps. In fact, they don’t even need to support the CKB chain, e.g. MetaMask can run pw-dapps now.

Essentially, any blockchain address is already a valid CKB address, and there is no need to create a CKB wallet before using pw-dapps. Both user experience and security of assets of pw-dapps will be consistent with native dApps on those blockchains.

This is a tremendous boost for the Nervos ecosystem; pw-sdk will enable a large number of mature crypto infrastructures and their users to experience CKB. It highlights the unique capabilities, value and potential of CKB as a new generation of encrypted economic infrastructure.

Our goal is to understand the needs of blockchain developers entering the Nervos ecosystem and look for great projects who will help facilitate developer on-boarding.
