Yesterday, the Ethereum Conference EDCON (Community Ethereum Development Conference) 2023 announced the Super Demo finalists. It is reported that the Ethereum Conference EDCON is one of the important activities in the Ethereum ecosystem, which aims to promote the development and application of Ethereum technology and the healthy development of the Ethereum ecosystem, while Super Demo aims to discover and support the most potential For the early blockchain projects, the shortlisted Super Demo can provide the project with funding, incubation, media exposure, technical support and business cooperation and other aspects of support and assistance to help the project develop and grow better.

According to the disclosure, there are four finalists for this Super Demo, namely: EthStorage, an Ethereum storage rollup project; Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS), an open-source infrastructure public product for on-chain or off-chain certification; and DeFi Aspis Protocol, a custom on-chain vault for asset management; Nerif Network, a cross-chain, decentralized smart contract automation solution.

Among them, EthStorage broke through and won the first place in the EDCON 2023 Super Demo selection.

EthStorage

Official website:

Positioning: decentralized storage

EthStorage is a storage rollup built on top of Ethereum, which provides programmable dynamic storage based on the availability of Ethereum data, specifically EIP-4844 and Danksharding. EthStorage aims to reuse the security of the Ethereum mainnet, regularly submit storage proofs from the EthStorage layer 2 network to Ethereum L1, and at the same time greatly expand Ethereum storage at a lower cost—it will reach PB-level capacity at one thousandth of the storage cost .

In addition to providing users with decentralized data storage and management services, EthStorage can also provide data support for other blockchain applications and services. By integrating with other blockchain applications, EthStorage can help users seamlessly switch and share data between different applications, improving user experience and convenience.

It is reported that the project team has received official funding from the Ethereum Foundation twice for research on data availability and L1 storage proof.

Ethereum Attestation Service（EAS）

Official website:

Positioning: Decentralized identity authentication and authorization services

Ethereum Attestation Service (Ethereum Attestation Service) is an authentication service based on blockchain technology, which aims to provide users with a more secure and reliable identity authentication and authorization method. The service utilizes Ethereum smart contracts and blockchain technology to provide credible and immutable identity authentication and authorization services, providing users and applications with higher security and security. EAS stores the user's identity information on the Ethereum blockchain and manages and verifies it through smart contracts. Users can sign and authenticate their identity information through the private key, and applications can verify the user's identity information and authorization information through the public key to achieve identity authentication and authorization management.

Wasp Protocol

Official website:

Positioning: Decentralized insurance service

Aspis Protocol is a decentralized insurance protocol based on Ethereum, which aims to provide users with safer, more efficient and transparent insurance services. Through smart contracts and blockchain technology, the protocol realizes the process of decentralized insurance application, claim settlement and payment, effectively reducing insurance fraud and information asymmetry. Aspis Protocol encodes insurance contracts as smart contracts and stores contract terms and conditions on the Ethereum blockchain. Users can create insurance contracts through smart contracts and set relevant insurance terms and conditions. When an insurance event occurs, the smart contract will automatically execute the corresponding compensation and claim settlement operations, which will be verified and confirmed by other participants on the blockchain to ensure the fairness and transparency of the compensation.

Nerif Network

Official website:

Positioning: decentralized data market protocol

Nerif Network is a decentralized data market protocol based on Ethereum, which aims to provide users with more secure, efficient, transparent and credible data transaction and sharing services. The agreement utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts to realize decentralized storage, management, transaction and sharing of data, providing higher security and protection for data owners and users. Nerif Network stores data on the blockchain and manages and trades through smart contracts. Data owners can upload data to the blockchain through smart contracts and set data access permissions and prices. Data users can purchase data through smart contracts, and obtain access to data after meeting conditions such as access rights and prices.

In addition, Nerif Network can also provide data support for other blockchain applications and services. By integrating with other blockchain applications, Nerif Network can help users seamlessly switch and share data between different applications, improving user experience and convenience.
