In 2025, ZEROBASE completed the objectives of its first development phase. During this period, our focus was on building zero knowledge proof infrastructure and a robust execution network. We established a stable proving architecture, deployed the core capabilities of Proving Nodes and the HUB, and generated tens of millions of zero knowledge proofs. The network has operated under high concurrency conditions and validated the full technical loop between off chain execution and on chain confirmation.

Through the rollout of zkStaking and related applications, we demonstrated a practical model of off chain strategy execution with on chain proof confirmation. This phase built the technical credibility and network scale required for financial grade applications.

With this foundation in place, ZEROBASE is now entering it second phase with the launch of ZEROBASE 2.0. The focus of this new phase is to embed our proven execution and verification capabilities directly into real financial structures. ZEROBASE 2.0 will evolve into a verifiable finance settlement and execution network.

Our objective is to improve capital efficiency, increase transparency in strategy execution, and optimize cross border settlement flows. By systematizing how funds enter, execute, and settle, we aim to ensure that every key step in the capital lifecycle carries verifiable integrity and higher operational speed.

This transition reflects a shift from infrastructure buildout to financial system integration. The underlying proof network is established. The focus now turns to capital application and settlement architecture.

Market Context

The scale of digital capital continues to expand. On chain stablecoin supply now exceeds hundreds of billions of dollars, and cross border settlement volumes are accelerating across digital asset markets.

Global capital is becoming increasingly digital. On chain assets continue to expand, cross border flows are more frequent, and transaction cycles are accelerating.

  • Settlement chains remain complex and slow.

  • Fund strategies often lack transparency.

  • Cross border transfers require extended processing time and incur high costs.

  • Centralized platforms operate with limited execution visibility.

Financial markets require verifiable settlement infrastructure designed for digital capital flows.

ZEROBASE 2.0 aims to build a financial network that is verifiable, executable, and settlement ready within an on chain environment.

Positioning

ZEROBASE operates as a verifiable settlement and execution network for digital capital, positioned at the intersection of cryptographic proof systems and capital market infrastructure.This positioning is defined by three core principles:

Verifiable | Permissionless | Instant

Verifiable
Key financial actions should carry proof. Strategy execution, risk exposure ranges, and fund pathways can be validated through cryptographic mechanisms.

Permissionless
On chain architecture enables open participation. Capital entry and exit can occur globally without restrictive onboarding layers.

Instant
Capital velocity shapes market competitiveness. Funding access, execution timing, and settlement processes must operate at the pace of global markets.

Through zero knowledge proof technology and a distributed execution architecture, ZEROBASE enables capital movement that is verifiable, efficient, and structurally flexible.

Core Principle

Make capital flow verifiable.

Around this principle, we articulate three expressions:

  • Verifiable Capital Flow

  • Proof-backed Finance

  • Instant Trust Settlement

These correspond to capital entry, strategy execution, and settlement confirmation, forming a complete operational loop.

Network Architecture

ZEROBASE 2.0 structures its network around execution and verification.

zkStaking

zkStaking provides a verifiable strategy execution framework.

Using zero knowledge range proofs, it validates off chain strategy exposure and leverage boundaries. Investors can verify execution boundaries and risk exposure ranges through cryptographic proof.

Proving Node

Proving Nodes provide trusted execution power.

Running within high performance TEE environments, nodes generate zero knowledge proofs that validate strategy execution and asset management computations.

HUB

The HUB functions as the global proof routing network.

It coordinates task distribution and computational scheduling, ensuring that proof requests move efficiently across nodes while maintaining verification integrity.

Together, these components form the execution, proof generation, and settlement foundation of the ZEROBASE network.

Development Priorities

ZEROBASE 2.0 will prioritize the following directions:

On chain proof frameworks for off chain financial strategies
Faster cross border settlement pathways
Design of verifiable fund structures
Integration of Web2 capital into on chain financial systems

Through technical design and structural integration, ZEROBASE seeks to provide a new trust framework for global capital.

Long Term Vision

In the evolving digital financial environment, capital efficiency and transparency will define competitiveness. Execution results supported by proof strengthen investor confidence. Confirmed fund pathways improve cross border coordination. Auditable strategy structures enhance sustainability.

ZEROBASE 2.0 is building a global verifiable finance network for digital capital.
