Union is quite interesting, this is a new generation of modular cross-chain L1 that can run EVM, Cosmos, Move, Solang, and BitVM Chain abstraction + payment abstraction together, similar to a ZK-driven LayerZero, competing with LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole, but more decentralized and lighter Just now broke a record, conducting the most participant-involved trusted setup ceremony in blockchain history, second in scale only to Ethereum KZG This process is a critical step before all ZK systems go online: global users take turns contributing randomness, as long as one person is honest, the entire parameter set is secure Union uses this method to demonstrate its stance: ZK is not about privacy, but about reconstructing cross-chain trust, directly compressing chain consensus into verifiable evidence through ZK, allowing chains to communicate directly Currently, funding has exceeded $16 million, backed by funds like gumi, Longing Hash, with partners including Polygon, Berachain, Babylon, Celestia, Sui, and other top projects Union's ecosystem is also taking off: Tower DEX, http:/Escher.fi, UComb incubator are being implemented. It is becoming the preferred base for projects across various tracks SOPH ignited the ZK narrative, and now Union is taking over
