Introduction to the Partnership
We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Virtual Labs, developing ZK State Channels, an EVM infrastructure designed to eliminate gas fees and latency for on-chain games and protocols.
Together, we’re committed to a collaborative development approach that involves shared technological resources and expertise to foster innovation in decentralized applications (DApps).
**Overview of the Partnership**
The partnership between Virtual Labs and Cluster Protocol is strategically focused on leveraging each other’s technological strengths to enhance both blockchain functionality and AI model operability.
Synergies Between Virtual Labs and Cluster Protocol
Zero Gas and Enhanced Speed
Virtual Labs’ ZK State Channels with Cluster Protocol’s decentralized AI models aims to deliver zero-gas and low-latency operations aligns well with Cluster Protocol’s goals of reducing computational overhead and ensuring rapid, cost-effective AI model training.
Cross-Functional Utility and Accessibility
By combining Virtual Labs’ seamless, Web2-like user experience with Cluster Protocol’s resource-optimized AI computation, the partnership is set to provide a versatile and accessible platform for developers and users alike, making it easier to build and interact with decentralized applications.
Community and Ecosystem Growth
The partnership is expected to draw in a broader community of developers, users, and enthusiasts, driven by the enhanced capabilities and reduced entry barriers. This community growth will help in further refining the technologies and expanding their applications.
About Virtual Labs
Virtual Labs is at the forefront of blockchain innovation, pioneering the development of ZK State Channels to address the challenges of gas fees and latency in on-chain games and protocols.
As the creator of the Virtual Engine, the first blockchain-based ZK state channel, Virtual Labs enables users to initiate a channel with a one-time gas fee and subsequently enjoy unlimited, gas-free transactions within that channel. This technology facilitates seamless, high-speed trading and interactions across multiple blockchains, embodying Virtual Labs’ vision of zero-gas, zero-latency, and zero-friction operations to enhance trustless on-chain activity and boost liquidity.
Their groundbreaking approach not only optimizes user experience but also paves the way for broader adoption and innovation in decentralized applications.
