NaoX Protocol, the Blockchain and AI based Decentralised CyberSecurity Mesh that restores cybersecurity across all sectors of the economy, is excited to announce a partnership with Unilayer, the Layer 1 solution addressing the interoperability gap and accelerating cross-chain compatibility.

Unilayer is an interoperability L1 blockchain that empowers the transfer of data and assets across every chain.

Inspired by Bitcoin-based Zerocoin, Unilayer integrates EVM and nonEVM chains via smart contracts cross-chain control logic. It is a cost-effective scalability solution across every kind of chain: L0, L1 and L2. A unified cross-chain control logic provides seamless interaction between smart contracts in different chains without the use of a bridge, oracles, or standalone servers.

NaoX Protocol is scaling the Decentralized Cybersecurity Mesh to protect every device in the digital world, allowing networks to defend themselves from cyber-attacks using disruptive Swarm AI and Blockchain technology.

NaoX Protocol is designed to reduce cyber security risks and costs significantly, addressing the staggering $10 trillion global opportunity, which is the projected cost of cybercrime by 2025. By converting traditionally untrusted network devices into a swarm of cyber-trusted validator nodes, NaoX Protocol makes networks stronger as they grow, not weaker. Powered by a tokenized cyber-secure machine-to-machine economy, single points of failure are converted into multiple points of defense that identify risks in real time under consensus. NaoX Protocol is also complementary — traditional cyber tools can operate freely without being in competition.

As part of this exciting partnership, NaoX Protocol will integrate its Decentralized CyberSecurity Mesh with Unilayer’s cross-chain capabilities, adding an additional validation and cyber-secure layer that will help protect Unilayer’s cross-chain services. By securing cyber integrity, all devices within Unilayer’s technology stack can communicate securely and safely whilst being protected from the vulnerabilities that Web3 inherits from Web2 by default.

Here are some examples:

• Account Hijacking risks at the node, user, and exchange levels
• API tampering risks
• DOS/DDOS
• Data corruption or tampering with oracles
• Internal threats in exchanges, oracles, protocols, bridges
• Update poisoning
• Advanced Persistent Threat risks
• Sniffing attacks, Keylogging attacks against wallets and servers of any kind
• Evil maid attack through hardware or firmware tampering
• Identity & Access Management vulnerabilities on nodes, users, oracles, bridges, servers
• Malicious browser extensions˙
• Service provider attacks on oracles, nodes, users

Alex Belets CEO and Founder of Unilayer, commented:
“It’s great to partner with such a congenial project as NaoX Protocol. The idea behind the project looks actual nowadays and close to ours. Our tech team originates from banking cybersecurity. Many media reports about hacks and cyber threats inside the blockchain. We believe that NaoX Protocol, together with UniLayer’s cross-chain solution, will reduce the level of cybercrime in the world.”

David Carvalho, CEO, and Founder of NaoX Protocol “We are very excited about partnering with Unilayer, their cross-chain services are crucial for Web3’s expansion as they solve the interoperability trilemma in a frictionless manner. Allowing NFTS, DeFi, dApps, metaverses and games to take advantage of every chain within its next-level design — While being forward thinking about their security by leveraging NaoX Protocol`s approach for distributed security and trust as both projects scale up into a safe and distributed future.”

About Unilayer

The Unilayer is a high-efficiency communication L1 blockchain on top of other blockchains.

It works as an omnichain interoperability platform and designed for lightweight data passing across different chains.

The UniLayer is designed with a gas-efficient uDPOS consensus. It takes the interoperability philosophy of the Сosmos protocol for native integration of its own nodes into different blockchains, and stores all the data about transactions on its own L1 blockchain. Moreover The UniLayer conducts a unique cross-chain control logic to call and manage smart contracts operations in different blockchains.

About NaoX Protocol

NaoX Protocol is the Decentralized CyberSecurity Mesh for the hyper-connected world. Our disruptive design pattern makes networks safer as they grow, not weaker, by turning each connected device into a trusted validator node. A robust Blockchain protocol that every company can use to protect against the escalating levels of cyber threat.

Devices are rewarded for trusted behavior fostering a secure environment. Participants earn $CYBER staking rewards for securing the network.

The more users, businesses, and governance structures that use the Decentralized Cyberecure Mesh, creating networks of networks, the stronger and more secure it becomes.
