Automata Network is a decentralized service protocol with middleware privacy software for dApps on multiple blockchains. The software offers versatile use cases such as anonymous voting, minimization of mined tokens (MEV strategy) and trackingless indexing by using the latest cryptographic and privacy algorithms and trust computing technologies.

A solution stack similar to the Automat middleware consists of Witness, an anonymous autonomous voting service for governance; Pipeline, MEV minimization solution for DEX; and Librarian, an indexing service for users without the need for tracking.

• Witness: Anonymous Voting Witness is an offline voting service for voters who do not want to reveal their identity and opinion in order to anonymously participate in project management. In addition to supporting Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other substrate-based EVM-compatible chains, features include:

• Low Cost - Voting is off-grid so there are no gas costs and a wider range of token holders can participate in governance without being held back by high gas fees.

• Chainhook - when enabled, starts execution in a chain based on voting results. Chainhook provides a secure invocation of an on-chain smart contract registered when an offer was created.

• Privacy - the user can select different types of votes with different levels of privacy, such as Public (full disclosure of the voter's address and number of votes), Medium (only the number of votes) and Private (only the result of the vote is published - the identity of the voter and the number of votes are not published).

• Modular - each of these features can be used both standalone and together, for example if a project wants to use Witness as a signaling tool without running in a chain, this is also possible.

• Multi-chain support - Support for Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other substrate-compatible EVM chains.

• Pipeline: The MEV Minimization Conveyor is a chain-independent solution to the MEV problem that can work seamlessly with DEXs such as Uniswap without any modifications. It accepts and outputs transactions in a specific order, thereby creating a no-preprocessing zone that eliminates the chaos of transaction reordering. Features include:

• Gasless trading - the user will be able to trade without paying directly for gas.

• Anti-front-running - No pre-transactions for trading pairs that support Conveyor.

• Confidentiality when placing an order - the order of transactions is not disclosed if it is not defined and cannot be changed. No one, including hosting nodes, will know the order until the moment of acceptance.

• Full integration - DEX on multiple platforms can be supported with low integration overhead.

Project Highlights

• Automata Network aims to be a recognized privacy service for DeFi and Web3 with its compelling privacy middleware offering.

• Existing solutions have fallen short of expectations due to various trade-offs in usability for privacy as their core value proposition. Automata expects users to value functionality and ease of use over idealism.

• Privacy automation focused solutions are built to provide privacy in native blockchain environment in an intuitive and seamless manner. This means that solutions do not require modification and integration costs, if any, are negligible.

• Automata supports a wide range of applications specifically built for Web3, including anonymous voting, MEV minimization, and trackingless indexing. Developers will have the best open source building blocks and APIs. Users can securely transact and regain control of their identity. People have more options and choices as Web3 economic activity increases.

• The machine's technical infrastructure is built on computing secured by hardware such as Intel SGX, along with the industry's first implementation of Oblivious RAM for dApps. This creates a solid foundation for the software and our protocol.

• Automata is also led by an experienced development team that frequently publishes privacy and security research papers at top level conferences including USENIX Security, NDSS, RAID, EuroSys and ICDCS.

Darwinia is a trustless multi-chain bridge hub network designed to become the foundational layer for the next generation of Web3.0 dapps and games. Darwinia Network uses a combination of ZK proofs and optimistic challenge technology to provide the most secure general bridging solution between heterogeneous chains such as Polkadot, Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC, without the need for custodial vaults or wrapping of tokens, so is also compatible with zero-liquidity assets such as NFTs.

The products and tools developed by Darwinia have been awarded three Web3 Foundation grants and a level-2 Substrate Builders award, Darwinia is mentioned in the Polkadot lightpaper, and Polkadot founder Gavin Wood has mentioned Darwinia as a “Project to watch.”

Darwinia Network is a decentralized cross-chain bridge network building on Substrate, which is the "Web 3.0 cross-chain bridge hub" of the cross-chain ecology. It provides a safe and general bridging solution, connects to Polkadot, Ethereum, TRON and other heterogeneous chains by cross-chain transfer of assets and remote chain calls. The application areas of Darwinia Network include DeFi, cross-chain NFT trading, games, etc.

Darwinia Network has gained a high reputation and recognition along the way to build the decentralized cross-chain bridge protocol. In 2020, Darwinia was written in Polkadot light-paper as one of the friends of Polkadot and Substrate. And Darwinia was selected to join Substrate Builder Program and Web3.0 Bootcamp, and for the outstanding work in Substrate Builder Program, Darwinia Network was officially awarded the Level 2 badge by Parity. The products and tools developed by Darwinia have been rewarded three W3F Grants. Polkadot founder Gavin Wood also highlighted Darwinia Network as “Projects to watch.”

Darwinia has been building a permissionless non-custodial bridge protocol, featuring efficiency, low cost, decentralization of cross-chain tokens and NFTs transfer, as well as other cross-chain operations.

Darwinia bridge solution integrates technologies, including super-light client, zero-knowledge, and optimistic verification mechanisms.

Darwinia bridge distinguishes from other bridges in terms of quality and how decentralized the bridge is, could carry high-value cross-chain asset transaction.
