Description
Cygnus is a Web 3.0 ecosystem that has developed the industry's first Instagram App Layer and an Omnichain Liquidity Validation System (LVS). The Instagram App Layer merges on-chain and off-chain assets to power the creator economy directly within Instagram, aiming to onboard the next billion users to Web3. The LVS is a comprehensive, active verification network designed to enhance trust and transparency in decentralized systems. The ecosystem is supported by Cygnus Chain, which acts as the settlement layer for the LVS, and Cygnus InstaPlay, which allows users to generate an AA wallet using their Instagram account. Cygnus encourages community involvement to enhance security through a Bug Bounty Program and a Grant Program to support developers. The company has integrated with partners like Base, Linea, Ton, and Taiko.Grant Funding
