$Goodbye bridging era: Cycle Network is reshaping the underlying value transfer of Web3

In the blockchain world, while countless projects are racking their brains for cross-chain interoperability, a more radical and thorough solution is emerging—Cycle Network is attempting to rebuild the entire settlement logic of Web3 with 'chain abstraction' and 'bridge-less liquidity' as its core.

If the first stage of DeFi was 'asset on-chain', then the focus of the next stage is 'how assets can flow freely between chains without the risks and delays of bridging'.

🧠 Core philosophy: not to build bridges, but to smooth out the boundaries between chains

The goal of Cycle Network is not to build another bridge, but to create a unified, bridge-less cross-chain liquidity network—abstracting a settlement layer for developers; a high-speed channel for users to operate cross-chain assets.

Whether it’s L1 or L2, EVM or non-EVM, Cycle’s architecture enables atomic-level interoperability and settlement of assets across different chains, completely bypassing the security risks and delay pain points brought by traditional bridging.

🚀 Initial results are emerging: from cold start to a dark horse in Web3 infrastructure

This project, incubated by YZi Labs and funded by Vertex Ventures (a subsidiary fund of Temasek), has achieved multiple milestone breakthroughs since its mainnet launch:

🔐 The mainnet TVL has exceeded 400 million USD

🔁 The mainnet transaction volume has exceeded 2.3 million

🌍 Over 100 partners, including Monad, Berachain, Symbiotic, Renzo, MEV Capital, etc.

🧰 A complete three-tier product matrix has been built: developer tools, ecosystem tools, and user entry points

In the recently concluded rankings, Cycle Network's DeFi protocol Golden Goose also topped KaitoAI's growth list, injecting narrative highlights into this infrastructure project.

🦢 Golden Goose: From chain abstraction to yield engine

Golden Goose is the first chain abstraction DeFi product created by Cycle Network and serves as the 'user entry point' for the entire ecosystem.

It integrates strategy, returns, and gamified experiences, maintaining high user retention while also achieving substantial capital accumulation:

💰 Current TVL exceeds 15 million USD

👥 The number of paid users exceeds 20,000

🔁 30-day user retention rate as high as 83.45%

📈 TikTok has become the main battleground for growth, with over 100,000 followers

In this product, returns no longer depend on a single asset or a hot protocol, but are driven by a combination of multi-chain liquidity mining, stablecoin staking, and NFT strategy enhancements—dynamically scheduled by an AI strategy engine, achieving an average annual yield of 39.2%.

🌍 Global community and ecosystem collaboration: not a solo effort, but a synergistic evolution

Cycle Network is not fighting alone. It has built a large, active multilingual community:

🐦 Twitter/X followers have surpassed 820,000

💬 Telegram community exceeds 260,000 people

🕹 The number of active users on Discord has surpassed 23,000

📱 TikTok followers exceed 100,000 (mainly concentrated in Latin America)

At the same time, Cycle Network has helped projects like Berachain, IoTeX, PumpBTC, etc., onboard over 1.7 million users through its bridge-less cross-chain minting infrastructure—Piggy Bank, laying a solid liquidity foundation for the entire ecosystem.

🧰 Product Matrix: Three-tier structure, connecting developers, ecosystems, and users

Cycle is not just a protocol but a multi-tiered toolkit:

1. Cycle SDK: Provides developers with chain abstraction access, making it easy to build cross-chain applications

2. Piggy Bank: Providing minting and settlement infrastructure for ecosystem partners

3. Golden Goose: A gamified entry point to DeFi for ordinary users, driving real capital inflow

This full coverage design from the bottom layer to the user layer means Cycle can serve as a 'liquidity engine' for other projects, rather than a competitor.

🧭 Conclusion: Those who choose to launch projects in a bear market often have deeper strategic patience

Cycle Network's founder Robbie once said in an interview: 'We are not following a narrative, but trying to rewrite the narrative.' At the coldest time in the market, they chose to launch projects, refining the underlying technology instead of hyping short-term concepts.

Today, as the technical path is validated by the market, the community foundation steadily expands, and product data continues to grow, Cycle Network is gradually transforming from a 'low-profile, pragmatic infrastructure' into a key liquidity hub in the next cycle of Web3.
