- Since announcing their partnership at Bitcoin Nashville,
Elastos and Particle Network have quickly reached a key milestone
in simplifying user onboarding.
- Developers can now build dApps that make it easier for Web2
users to get started, expanding adoption.
Elastos, a SmartWeb ecosystem provider, today
announced that Particle Network, an L1
blockchain aggregator, has integrated the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC)
Mainnet. This marks the first major milestone since their
partnership announcement at Bitcoin Nashville 2024. The development
allows users to interact with Elastos decentralized applications
(dApps) using familiar Web2 logins, like Google, for a smoother
onboarding experience. This step helps Elastos developers attract
Web2 users to their dApps, opening new opportunities for
revenue.
By simplifying the typically complex blockchain onboarding
process , users can now engage with Elastos dApps without the need
for crypto wallets, seed phrase management, or paying gas fees. For
example, a user can log in with a Bitcoin wallet to take out a
stablecoin loan using collateralized Bitcoin via Elastos’ BeL2.
This funding can be used right away on the Elacity marketplace
without needing ELA for gas, as those fees are covered
automatically in the background. This makes the process more
convenient while retaining the benefits of decentralization,
including control over personal data, direct peer-to-peer
interactions, and strong security and integrity.
The ability to hide complexity from users is a strategic driver
for Elastos. By working with Particle Network, Elastos is able to
simplify the process for users to interact with decentralized
applications and BTC-backed services. This complements the work it
has been doing with the BeL2 protocol to keep Bitcoin secure on its
main network using zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions and
transfer collateral information across chains.
Pengyu Wang, Particle Network’s Founder, describes Particle
Network’s effort toward simplifying the Web3 user experience as a
major milestone in making Web3 experiences a part of everyday
life.
“Web3 has introduced a wide array of blockchains and
protocols that developers and users need to manage. Simplification
is essential to improving this experience, enabling users to have a
single, unified on-chain address and balance across various
blockchains,” said Wang. “Our mainnet launch in collaboration with
Elastos reflects our shared vision of making it easier for
developers and users to build and experience Web3
services.”
Jonathan Hargreaves, Elastos’s Global Head of Growth, explained
that, to truly rival Web2 in terms of adoption, one of the key
milestones for Web3 is making it easy to interact with a dApp.
“The significance of this announcement is the
simplicity that Particle Network brings to the table allowing
multiple technologies to deliver a Web3 experience in an
environment that will feel exactly the same as any current social
media or sharing app, all assured by the World’s most ubiquitous,
popular and integral decentralized currency through Elastos’ BeL2
protocol,” continued Jonathan.
Elastos’ BeL2 protocol enables users to operate easily
using Bitcoin – as if they were operating in a purely native
Bitcoin environment – without actually impacting the BTC
layer.
“Building out a robust ecosystem around the BeL2
protocol with partners like Particle Network will be key to
enabling a new economic model based around Native Bitcoin. At Token
2049, we will be hosting an event at RWA which will further
demonstrate how working with our partners we will enable developers
to build a whole new range of decentralized finance, music and
entertainment applications.”

About Particle Network
Particle Network is addressing Web3’s fragmentation of users and
liquidity through Universal Accounts. Particle’s chain abstraction
is powered by a Cosmos SDK L1 blockchain enabling the experience of
a single account, balance, and address that can be used across all
chains, allowing users to interact with any dApp and pay gas with
any token.
