TL;DR

If the efficiency of Layer-2 chains bothers you as a web3 dApp developer, then it is time to opt for zkLink Nova, the first of its kind layer-3 aggregated zk-rollup blockchain, on Chainnodes. zkLink Nova gives developers access to an EVM-compatible blockchain with extensive interoperability for multi-chain transactions. By supporting this blockchain, developers using the Chainnodes services can easily develop decentralized applications that enjoy the security of Layer-1 Ethereum and the scalability of Layer-2 chains on a more efficient Layer-3 network.

Introduction

The introduction of blockchain has witnessed notable developments, all dedicated to enhancing blockchain efficiency and eliminating network congestion. One such development is the introduction of layer-2 blockchains; however, while Layer-2 chains improved blockchain (Layer-1) scalability, what remains a major bottleneck for developers and users is how to efficiently facilitate cross-chain transactions without the high gas fee and security risk associated with Layer-1 and layer-2 networks respectively.

The zkLink Nova network offers an effective and efficient solution through its Layer-3 framework. Taking several steps beyond the Layer-2 framework, zkLink Nova introduced the first aggregated and extensively scalable blockchain without compromising users' need to perform swift and secure cross-chain transactions.

Chainnodes, on the other hand, is a leading blockchain node service provider known for its cost-effective services. Partnering with zkLink Nova, Chainnodes will allow developers to access a multi-chain world. Now, you can join EtheFi, LayerBank, Wagmi, and other GameFi and DeFi applications to leverage the benefits of a Layer-3 blockchain at a low cost.

Why zkLink Nova on Chainnodes?

Chainnodes has consistently provided developers with a framework to build high-performance applications. While zkLink Nova is a Layer-3 network that aggregates assets on multiple Layer-2 chains to facilitate interoperable transactions, Chainnodes is a leading JSON RPC provider that allows applications to communicate with this blockchain networks (or any of our supported chains) and enjoy features like:

• Scalable blockchain: Whether you are building a dApp or deploying an existing one, developers are not necessarily learning the water with zkLink Nova. The Chainnodes service further simplifies the process of building or deploying your web3 applications on the Layer-3 network. Hence, combining zkLink Nova and Chainnodes opens up a world where developers can deploy already written code on EVM-compatible chains (L1 & L2) with little to no modification.

Even better, developers can leverage the zkLink Nova universal dApp support to develop decentralized applications through smart contracts

• Flexible payment method: Chainnodes offers a flexible payment subscription method that accepts both fiat and cryptocurrency. The dual approach ensures that developers do not have to worry about border restrictions to access the cutting-edge tech tools on Chainnodes.
• High efficiency and Low price: Chainnodes offers a cost-effective web3 infrastructure and node service compared to other providers. Subscribing to our team plan alone allows you to build your application on a framework that easily accommodates 50M requests and 30k users per month. We also offer a free plan to get you started.

Why you should build on zkLink Nova

Ranked 16th on DefiLlama with $640M Total Value Locked (TVL) and over 1M wallet addresses interacting with the blockchain at the time of writing, zkLink Nova is emerging as one of the sought-after blockchains for reasons like:

• Chain abstraction: While the idea of multi-chain transactions can ordinarily sound too complex or complicated, zkLink Nova introduces a streamlined and straightforward approach using chain abstraction and a user-friendly interface. Hence, users can complete these multi-chain transactions using a simple approval method instead of manually bridging from one chain to another.
• Asset aggregation and unified interface: While users can deposit tokens from multiple chains to the zkLink Nova, the canonical roll-up bridge allows applications on zkLink Nova to access these tokens natively. zkLink Nova then manages assets through a unified interface, allowing users to trade them across multiple chains without friction. Also, zk Nova enhances liquidity by merging tokens of the same bridged from separate roll-ups.
• High interoperability: The efficiency of blockchain has always hinged on high interoperability because blockchain is not entirely efficient until users can easily navigate different ecosystems and perform cross-chain transactions. Interestingly, zkLink Nova stepped up the game by introducing a more interoperable blockchain where transactions are characterized by no friction, extensively low gas fees, and fast finality.
• Earning multiplier: Another benefit of building on zkLink Nova is that you get to introduce your users to an extensive earning mechanism through airdrops, staking, and farm yielding. By staking assets on zkLink Nova, users earn $ZKL. The robust ecosystem also allows users to earn yield rewards on several lending protocols.

Conclusion

Blockchain node service providers are essential in the blockchain space. Chainnodes, as a node provider, is dedicated to providing developers with access to interact with efficient blockchains and improve web3 users' experience. Hence, the collaboration with zkLink Nova is a step in that direction.
