As the X Layer ecosystem continues to grow, a rising number of community-led assets and innovative projects are emerging across the network. Helping projects and communities with genuine support and long-term potential gain greater visibility is an important part of building a thriving ecosystem. To support this goal, X Layer is introducing the Community Verification program, together with a transparent set of eligibility criteria and review procedures. Through this program, we aim to identify ecosystem projects and communities with genuine community support, active participation, and a proven commitment to long-term development. This will give deserving communities more opportunities to be discovered and supported, while helping X Layer direct ecosystem resources and operational support where they can have the greatest impact. We believe that a thriving ecosystem begins with its community and is shaped by the people within it—creating consensus, value, and opportunity together.

To further support the growth of the X Layer RWA ecosystem and increase trading activity and market participation across ecosystem assets, X Layer is officially launching the X Layer RWA Meme Trading Competition Incentive . The campaign will support high-quality ecosystem projects by offering trading incentives to encourage broader user participation and promote price discovery and market development for ecosystem assets.

Since the launch of the 1st round X Layer RWA Ecosystem Liquidity Incentive Program, it has received active participation from on-chain users, developers, and liquidity providers, delivering positive results in boosting ecosystem activity and enhancing on-chain liquidity.

As a bridge between real-world assets and the decentralized future, X Layer has been committed to building the RWA ecosystem. We recognize that asset digitalization and on-chain liquidity are key drivers of Web3’s future growth.

X Layer has launched its Hybrid Proof system, combining optimistic proposal with on-demand ZK proving to substantially improve L2 security without sacrificing block production efficiency. Under normal operation, the Proposer submits Output Roots optimistically with no proof generation. When a Challenger disputes a proposal, the system enters a proving window during which the Proposer self-attests via the SP1 zkVM. Compared to interactive Fault Proofs that require many rounds of on-chain bisection, Hybrid Proof reduces dispute resolution to a single ZK verification, sharply cutting both Gas cost and time-to-resolution. The upgrade went live on X Layer testnet on March 27, 2026, shortening the challenge period from the OP Stack default of 7 days to 1 day.This article walks through the design rationale, mechanism, and engineering choices behind X Layer's Hybrid Proof, and examines its impact on developers and users.

X Layer has completed the Jovian network upgrade, setting the minimum base fee to 0.02 Gwei. A standard ERC-20 transfer now costs just $0.0001 — making on-chain transactions virtually free. What Is Jovian?
