What is LayerEdge (EDGEN)?

LayerEdge is an innovative verification protocol built on the BNB Chain, designed to address the issues of efficiency, security, and scalability in the verification process of current blockchain systems. Its greatest feature is the combination of two technological advantages:

1. Bitcoin Security: By anchoring verification results on the Bitcoin chain, LayerEdge provides near-immutable security assurances for the entire network.
2. Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK) and Recursive Aggregation: Through advanced zk-SNARK and zk-STARK technologies, LayerEdge can efficiently compress complex on-chain/off-chain computation state verification, making large-scale decentralized verification possible.

In addition, LayerEdge has also introduced a lightweight node random verification mechanism, allowing participants to contribute verification capabilities without the need for full node computation, and to receive incentives through EDGEN tokens.

The role of EDGEN token

EDGEN is the core economic driving tool in the LayerEdge network, with multiple uses:

• Verification fee: Users or protocols need to pay the fee using EDG when submitting verification tasks.
• Incentive validation nodes: Light nodes participating in random validation and successfully identifying fraud will receive EDG rewards.
• Cross-chain settlement medium: LayerEdge can interact with multiple chains, with EDGEN serving as a unified gas token to simplify the settlement process.

As the application scenarios of LayerEdge continue to expand, the demand for EDGEN is also expected to grow.

The practical application scenarios of LayerEdge

LayerEdge is not only used for DeFi, more scenarios are rapidly unfolding:

• AI and Machine Learning: Validate model training and inference processes, protect data privacy.
• IoT and DePIN: Verifying sensor data and the status of physical devices to ensure the reliability of automated control.
• Digital Identity and Certificate Verification: Achieving digital identity authentication without compromising privacy.
• Blockchain games and NFTs: verifying game status, asset ownership, preventing cheating and forgery.

These applications together constitute LayerEdge’s “universal validation layer” positioning, making it no longer an isolated on-chain tool, but an important part of the Web3 infrastructure.

Gate Alpha launch Airdrop is now open

On June 2, 2025, LayerEdge officially launched on Gate Alpha, and the platform simultaneously initiated a limited-time Airdrop event with a total prize pool of up to 450,000 EDGEN and Alpha points. The main benefits include:

• Trading Airdrop: Trade volume of 100 USDT to receive EDG, limited spots available.
• Points Reward: Trade 200 or 300 USDT to receive 1 or 2 Alpha points.
• First Transaction Reward: Complete a transaction of ≥50 USDT on Gate Alpha for the first time to receive an additional 200 EDGEN.

Gate has launched EDGEN spot trading, with the current price around 0.022 USD. Please trade cautiously and be aware of the risks.

Conclusion: Is EDGEN Alpha a trend or a bubble?

Whether it is from technological innovation, scenario implementation, or token incentive mechanisms, LayerEdge has the potential to become a new generation of verification infrastructure. The launch through Gate Alpha this time provides investors and developers with a low-threshold, high-return participation opportunity.

If you are looking for a potential project that combines ZK technology, the security of Bitcoin, and multi-chain compatibility, then EDGEN Alpha is worth your close attention.
