Polychain-backed modular blockchain platform Nubit, in collaboration with Web3 firm Succinct, has introduced Nuport, a groundbreaking interface that utilizes Nubit’s data availability layer to connect multiple blockchains.

In an announcement made on August 6, Nubit revealed that Nuport will facilitate connections to major blockchains such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and others. This integration is made possible through the Succinct SP1, a virtual machine powered by zero-knowledge technology, enabling developers to create real-world applications that utilize zero-knowledge proofs.

By employing Rust, the SP1 integration allows developers to leverage ZKPs using widely-used programming languages. With the help of Nubit’s data availability layer, any blockchain ecosystem can access Succinct SP1 to support high-throughput applications. Nuport aims to enhance these projects by providing data availability secured by Bitcoin.

“By validating Nubit block headers with zero-knowledge proofs, Nuport inherits Nubit’s security guarantees, enabling Bitcoin-secured data availability across all connected blockchains,” the Nubit team explained.

Currently, SP1 provides teams across the blockchain space with access to production-level zero-knowledge capabilities. This encompasses projects on platforms such as Polygon, Celestia, Gnosis, and Taiko, with applications ranging from cross-chain interoperability, bridging, coprocessors, oracles, to Bitcoin layer-2 solutions.

In addition, Nubit’s blockchain technology supports a wide array of applications spanning artificial intelligence, SocialFi, and GameFi.
