Multi-chain L2 King: Boba

Boba Network announced a partnership with Avalanche to bring Layer-2 solutions to Avalanche Network toward Boba’s multi-chain L2 vision.

Currently, the details of the partnership are unclear. Will Boba be a service provider for potential Optimistic Rollup Subnets or will build just its own Optimistic Rollup on top of Avalanche Network? But, according to the announcement, we know that SushiSwap and EvoVerses will be Boba’s launch partner dApps. If you wanna learn more about this partnership, check out the past AMA event.

Canvas Connect: DeFi Pooling

Canvas announced the Canvas Connect testnet and planning to launch the mainnet on December 28.

The mission of Canvas Connect is to onboard the next billion people to DeFi. Canvas Connect allows traditional Web2 businesses to easily integrate into DeFi destinations, without having to trust any centralized or off-chain activity. Also, It is easy to integrate with APIs and SDKs. It basically allows users to invest, trade, and transfer without gas fees. Canvas Connect was built by a partnership with Starkware and Fireblocks. It uses zk-STARKs and DeFi Pooling technics for gasless transactions.

For example, a Canvas user wants to trade on Uniswap. StarkEx collects users who want to trade on Uniswap. Pooled users share transaction fees. It will be cheaper than doing the same transaction as an individual on L1. It is exciting to see applications of DeFi Pooling.
