LayerEdge Network achieves unprecedented security through a multi-layered approach that combines Bitcoin's proven consensus mechanism with distributed verification. By anchoring to Bitcoin's blockchain while distributing verification across millions of lightweight nodes using edgenOS, LayerEdge creates a security model that is both robust and scalable. Our unique architecture ensures that no single point of failure exists, while zk cryptography mathematically guarantees computational integrity. This hybrid security model allows LayerEdge to maintain Bitcoin-grade security without inheriting its throughput limitations.
What is edgenOS?
edgenOS is our verification layer software that enables any device to participate in securing the network. It transforms ordinary hardware into verification nodes without demanding specialized equipment or technical expertise. edgenOS powers the network's distributed verification system by efficiently managing zk-proof verification across the ecosystem. Designed for minimal resource consumption, edgenOS runs seamlessly in the background while providing users with a simple interface to monitor their contribution and rewards. As the backbone of our people-powered verification network, edgenOS makes blockchain security truly accessible to everyone.
How can users run an edgenOS light node?
Running an edgenOS light node is remarkably simple:
-> Download the edgenOS application (soon available for desktop and browser extension)
-> Create or connect your wallet Choose your participation level based on your device capabilities
-> Start earning EDGEN rewards while contributing to network security
-> No specialized hardware is required - edgenOS is optimized to run efficiently on everyday devices. Users can adjust their resource contribution and track their verification impact through an intuitive dashboard. The verification process happens automatically in the background, making participation effortless while still generating rewards.
EDGEN Tokenomics Overview
EDGEN is the native utility token that powers the LayerEdge ecosystem
EDGEN tokens power the LayerEdge ecosystem with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. The distribution is strategically designed: 46% goes to the community through airdrops and events, 22% is allocated to core contributors, 15% supports ecosystem development and R&D, 12% funds the Foundation, and 5% goes to early backers.
Users earn EDGEN by running edgenOS light nodes on their devices, contributing to the network's distributed verification system without needing specialized hardware. Initially, only a portion of the community allocation is circulating for Airdrop I & Liquidity.
