Web3 infrastructure company ChainSafe has released its Zipline Casper prototype, a project developed with funding from the Gnosis Builders program. Zipline Casper is an Optimistic, trust-minimized, cross-chain block header oracle machine, which can submit the block header on the chain of the Casper finality protocol (such as Ethereum/Gnosis) to another EVM chain, and guarantees that it has not been Block headers finalized on the original chain will be rejected on the target chain. Compared to other cross-chain solutions, Zipline Casper is unique in that it fully verifies the finality protocol of the original chain, thus gaining economic security. Can be used as a building block for various cross-chain applications or to provide an additional layer of security to existing applications.
