Build in Orochi Way: Secure Scaling Everything
At Orochi Network, we are pioneering the world's first Zero-Knowledge Data Availability Layer (zkDA Layer), which is designed to secure and scale solutions across a broad spectrum of applications. With innovative technologies such as the public randomness beacon - Orand, MPC (multi-party computation) wallet, and high-performance Oracle, we're building an ecosystem grounded in security, trust, privacy, and high performance.
In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into the vision that drives us and how we're pushing the boundaries of technology to solve significant challenges in blockchain.
Embracing Integrity & Security
The blockchain space has seen its share of challenges, from cybercrimes to phishing attacks, scams, and various forms of exploitation. As the digital world continues to evolve, ensuring fairness and security has become essential for keeping participants safe and building trust in decentralized systems.
We have recognized several unsolved issues that web3 still faces:
Limits of Computation: Current smart contracts cannot achieve native performance, and the finalization of the global state still depends on the underlying blockchain, slowing down the process.
Data Correctness: Ensuring the accuracy of data often requires reliance on third-party validators, which introduces vulnerability.
Data Availability: Smart contracts are often unable to access necessary data in real-time, limiting their functionality.
While existing solutions attempt to address these problems, they often only scratch the surface. What we need is a comprehensive, long-lasting solution that makes a significant impact and is accessible to everyone in the space.
Building The Zero-Knowledge Data Availability Layer
To address these challenges, we are focused on developing our zkDA Layer, a data availability layer powered by Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).
The zkDA Layer is designed to address existing issues by integrating ZKPs into every stage of data processing. This creates a verifiable data pipeline that ensures information accuracy and reliability. Our solution not only supports ZK-data-rollups for scalable data handling but also incorporates Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology and a hybrid aBFT consensus mechanism to boost performance and efficiency.
Several key advantages that are delivered:
Faster Processing: ZKP technology allows complex programs to be proved and verified efficiently, resulting in significantly faster processing times.
Enhanced Scalability: By leveraging the computing power of billions of interconnected devices, our system can scale to handle a massive volume of tasks, paving the way for new applications and services that were previously out of reach.
Improved Security: ZKP-powered verifiable computation ensures that results are provably accurate, reducing the risk of errors or malicious manipulation. This builds greater trust and enhances the overall security of the system.
Looking forward, we plan to integrate with popular zkVMs and embrace advanced technologies like ZK-STARK. These developments will position Orochi at the cutting edge of blockchain innovation, addressing current limitations and setting the stage for a more secure and scalable future in blockchain technology.
Building The Orochi Network Ecosystem
To understand how Orochi Network is creating a holistic ecosystem that delivers security, trust, privacy, and high performance, we need to delve into the key components that make this possible. Each product within the Orochi Network is designed with a specific function, yet they all work together to create a seamless and powerful infrastructure.
Our main products - zkDatabase, zkMemory, Orand, Orocle, and Orosign - are designed to serve a variety of clients, including smart contract platforms, zkML, zkVMs, other businesses and even retail users.
So far, our ecosystem has made substantial progress:
Orand and Orocle have been integrated into over 20 blockchain networks.
zkDatabase has exceeded 3,000 downloads, with our upcoming release of zkDatabase-as-a-Service (zkDatabase aaS) set to further expand its reach.
All our products are backed by cutting-edge research, contributing to their high performance. For example, our paper on Orand has been accepted by IKUM 2023, and RAMenPaSTA, another of our research breakthroughs, was published in March 2024. These papers reflect the depth of research and innovation driving our solutions.

From Data to Provable Data: The Future of Web3
Historically, markets have rewarded those who bring new value. For Orochi, this value is provable data - a shift we are actively shaping in Web3. By leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proof technology, we’re transforming data verification in a decentralized landscape, making provable data the foundation of trust in blockchain.
ZKPs are applied in every forefront product of ours, Whether it's ensuring the correctness of data in zkDatabase, providing secure off-chain computation in zkMemory, or guaranteeing randomness in Orand, ZKPs ensure that every step of the process is trustworthy.
Our Zero-Knowledge Data Availability Layer (zkDA Layer) is where these innovations converge. By integrating ZKPs into the very fabric of data processing, we’re not just addressing existing problems in blockchain but reimagining how data should be handled - ensuring data integrity and data availability. This is the cornerstone of a secure, transparent, and scalable Web3 ecosystem, and we’re leading the way in making it a reality.
A Commitment to Performance and Affordability
Despite the high performance our products deliver, we remain committed to offering them at reasonable prices. We believe that innovation should be accessible, and this philosophy guides our approach to pricing and product development. Our clients, whether large enterprises or small developers, benefit from robust, scalable, and cost-effective solutions.
Continuous Research & Development
At Orochi Network, research is as important as development. Each stage of our work is backed by scientific exploration, with papers and findings driving the next wave of technological advancement. This ensures that we stay ahead of the curve while contributing to the broader knowledge base of the blockchain community.
