Zircuit, a Zero-knowledge rollup redefining secure and automated finance on Web3, relies on Orochi Network’s Orocle and Orand to power its vision. With Orocle delivering trustworthy real-time data and Orand ensuring fast, verifiable randomness, this partnership tackles critical challenges in decentralized finance and gaming. Together, we enhance Zircuit’s AI-driven security and low-cost efficiency, paving the way for a new era of scalable, trustless dApps.
Introduction to Zircuit
Zircuit (@ZircuitL2) is a cutting-edge Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Zero-Knowledge rollup tailored for secure and automated finance in the Web3 space. By blending proven rollup technology with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Zircuit delivers faster transactions, lower fees, and heightened security compared to traditional blockchains. Its standout feature is Sequencer Level Security, where artificial intelligence (AI) actively monitors the mempool to detect and block malicious transactions before we’re processed. This proactive approach makes Zircuit an ideal platform for decentralized applications (dApps) in finance, gaming, and beyond.
With Mainnet Phase 1 launched in August 2024 and over $2.5 billion in staked assets, Zircuit is rapidly gaining traction as a leader in the blockchain ecosystem.

The Role of Orochi Network
Orochi Network (@OrochiNetwork) is a Verifiable Data Infrastructure that leverages ZKPs to provide secure, scalable, and privacy-preserving solutions for Web3. We offer Orocle, a decentralized oracle, and Orand, a high-throughput Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to Zircuit. Orocle delivers trustworthy external data, such as price feeds or market information, while Orand generates fast, verifiable randomness for applications requiring unpredictability. Together, we address critical challenges in Zircuit’s ecosystem, enhancing its ability to support secure and automated dApps.

Why Zircuit Needs Orochi
Zircuit’s mission to power automated finance hinges on two key requirements: reliable external data and secure randomness. Financial dApps—like Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), lending platforms, or yield optimizers—rely on real-time data to function effectively. However, centralized oracles can introduce risks like manipulation or downtime, undermining trust. Similarly, gaming or lottery dApps need randomness that’s both fair and verifiable to ensure equitable outcomes, but on-chain randomness generation is often slow and costly. Orochi’s Orocle and Orand solve these issues by** providing decentralized**, **cryptographically **secure solutions that align with Zircuit’s focus on performance and security.
Use Case: Automated Trading Bot with Orocle
Imagine a decentralized trading bot deployed on Zircuit, designed to execute trades based on real-time market conditions. Here’s how Orocle powers this use case:
-
Trigger: The bot needs the current ETH/USD price to decide whether to buy or sell.
-
Orocle in Action: Orocle fetches the price from multiple decentralized sources, aggregates it off-chain, and generates a ZKP to prove its accuracy.
-
Efficient Validation: Using ZK-data-rollups, Orochi compresses the proof for quick on-chain verification, minimizing gas costs.
-
Zircuit’s Role: The bot’s smart contract validates the proof on Zircuit and receives the verified price.
-
Outcome: If the price meets the bot’s criteria (e.g., ETH/USD > $2,000), it executes the trade—all within seconds.
This use case showcases Orocle’s ability to deliver secure, low-latency data that’s critical for automated financial strategies. By eliminating reliance on centralized oracles, Orocle enhances trust and reduces risks, perfectly complementing Zircuit’s AI-driven security.
Use Case: Decentralized Lottery with Orand
Now consider a lottery dApp on Zircuit, where players bet tokens for a chance to win a jackpot. Orand ensures fairness with verifiable randomness:
-
Trigger: The lottery needs a random number to select the winner once the entry period ends.
-
Orand in Action: Orand generates a random number off-chain, backed by a ZKP to prove it wasn’t tampered with.
-
Scalable Proof: The proof is optimized via ZK-data-rollups for efficient on-chain validation.
-
Zircuit’s Role: The lottery contract verifies the randomness on Zircuit and determines the winner.
-
Outcome: The jackpot is awarded to the player whose ticket matches the random number, with full transparency.
Orand’s high-throughput VRF ensures the lottery can handle frequent draws without bottlenecks, making it ideal for gaming dApps on Zircuit. Its cryptographic verifiability guarantees fairness, boosting user confidence.
How Zircuit Integrated on Orochi Network
How the Integration Works
The integration of Orocle and Orand with Zircuit is seamless due to Orochi’s blockchain-agnostic design and compatibility with Zircuit’s EVM and ZKP architecture. Here’s the process in a nutshell:
-
Data Flow: Orocle retrieves external data or Orand generates randomness off-chain.
-
Proof Generation: Orochi creates ZKPs to verify the data or randomness, optimized for efficiency.
-
On-Chain Validation: Zircuit’s smart contracts validate these proofs, leveraging its hybrid infrastructure.
-
Result: dApps access verified outputs instantly, maintaining security and performance.
This synergy enhances Zircuit’s ecosystem by adding a layer of trust to the data and randomness that dApps rely on.
Benefits for Zircuit
The integration of Orochi’s solutions brings tangible advantages to Zircuit:
-
