1) Liminal. Another one of the first products powered by $AZERO.

Liminal isn't just used by Aleph Zero. It can be used on ALL blockchains in true interoperability.

A thread 🧵what "Liminal" is all about and why you should pay attention.

2) Liminal is a #Layer2 protocol.

For those that don't what this is let us start with explaining what a #Layer1 is.

A layer 1 is a base blockchain that can validate and finalize transactions without the need for another network.

There's an entire underlying infrastructure.

3) Almost all of the cryptocurrencies launched today NEED a layer to be build on.

They can't function on their own unless they are a layer 1 blockchain themself.

Examples of these are #Ethereum, #BNBChain, #Solana, #fantom,...

4) Hence the reason why you always see new cryptocurrencies launching on either ethereum, bnb chain, fantom,...

The developers had to chose a certain layer to build their cryptocurrency on.

Aleph zero will also be an example of a layer 1 with their smart contracts launching.

5) A lot of times there are certain limitations to layer 1 blockchains.

This is where a layer 2 protocol comes in.

Like the name suggest it's literally another layer on top of another one. A secondary framework.

It's goal is to improve the capabilities of the layer 1.

6) The big benefit of this is that the base chain doesn't need to change.

How often are we waiting for years to make improvements to a base blockchain to see it go live.

Look at ethereum's upgrade to proof of stake for example (ethereum 2.0).

7) Meanwhile we are stuck with outrageously high gas fees and network congestion.

A layer 2 would be able to fix this already today.

Not only that but sometimes the layer 1 can actually never be upgraded to the extent the layer 2 can provide.

8) Just because the layer 1 framework never had the technology in the first place to make infinite numbers of improvements.

Examples of popular layer 2 protocols today are #Polygon, #Loopring, #ImmutableX.

9) Enter Liminal. A layer 2 protocol powered by Aleph Zero.

This is no ordinary protocol. When I'm finished explaining what this layer is capable of you are going to absolutely love it.

Liminal is best described as as multichain privacy layer and you'll soon see why.

10) Liminal is focused on adding security and privacy to any blockchain.

While these features are reason enough to be using this layer as this is incredibly important the best is yet to come.

Liminal also offers a portal that connects to other blockchains.

11) As the crypto space matures and expands there is going to be a growing need for viable communication channels between blockchains.

The world of crypto won't ever be user friendly if we have 20+ blockchains and they can't ever communicate with each other.

12) Want to make a payment or transaction with your stablecoin on ethereum?

Ah, to bad our business only works with Aleph Zero...

Wait, with Liminal you can! It bridges to Aleph Zero!

The future of crypto NEEDS to be multi-chain if we want to see worldwide adoption.

13) Liminal will also support some of the lowest transaction fees connecting to multiple blockchains (Bridging in today's market is very expensive).

14) With Liminal developers will be able to deploy Dapps on other blockchains like Ethereum, Near,... And keep a private state of this contract on Aleph Zero.

If they decide to chose Aleph zero directly as layer 1, Liminal privacy enhancements will directly be included.

15) This leads the way to a multichain future.

If developers are looking for an efficient, scalable and decentralized layer 1 they can choose Aleph Zero with all the benefits of Liminal already included automatically.

16) If they decide to stick to their existing environment and use another blockchain (they made their Dapp 2 years ago on ethereum for example OR they already have experience with building on ethereum) then they can chose to take advantage of Liminal.

17) Liminal opens the doors to a bigger blockchain ecosystem.

Because it is connected and powered by Aleph Zero itself this will only bring more exposure to the ecosystem.

18) Once developers see how amazing Liminal and its capabilities are they might as well decide to build on Aleph Zero directly next time.

As the layer 1 already has everything included.

19) The Aleph Zero team made an incredible smart decision with their dex Common and layer 2 Liminal being multi-chain.

Being able to connect to other blockchains and yet be powered by Aleph Zero will only open more doors and exposure to the blockchain itself.

20) With smart contracts on the horizon and further development of the Aleph Zero blockchain both of these products will soon see the day of light and make the entire ecosystem flourish.

Can't wait to see the outcome and new opportunities.

Nova out ❤️
