Modular March EP 1: Unifying the Modular Ecosystem with Union Build

Welcome to the first episode of the series of Modular March Presentations.

Today, we delve into the zk side of things with Karel, founder of Union Build, a project focused squarely on bringing together modular chains as part of the modular expansion.

At its core, Union leverages the principles of modularity and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to enhance the way different blockchain networks communicate and interact with each other.

Union’s initiative is distinguished by its adoption of the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, a decision that underscores its commitment to a secure, scalable, and decentralized cross-chain communication framework.

As Union pushes forward, its work towards a future where chains can send and verify proofs of transactions to each other using ZKPs stands out as a promising development. This “proof of proof” concept aims to significantly reduce the resources needed for interoperability, enabling a much larger scale of interconnected chains and applications.

Such advancements are vital in moving towards a modular, scalable, and inclusive future, powered by advanced cryptographic techniques and a steadfast commitment to open, decentralized principles.

With partnerships lined up with Scroll to bring IBC to EVM, we think Union will play a role in bringing together the modular eco.
