I asked Master A how to explain the advantages of @union_build?
Without hesitation, he told me that layerzero focuses on EVM as the EU, wormhole is SVM as ASEAN, axelar is the Bohai Economic Rim, while union is the United Nations.
Truly a great writer, the analogy he made was so vivid; union connects all chains, and its ambition to eliminate cross-chain friction is just like the United Nations, isn't it?
The more chains that join, the stronger the profitability and security of Union will be.
As more countries join, the membership fees will increase, and so will the influence, just like the United Nations; no wonder it's called a union.
Many people may have used Union after Baby went online; at that time, it supported ETH and the mainnets of baby, corn, and bob, as well as the lst assets of btc, and the bridge for baby. I have to say, the user experience was still somewhat distant from my expectations, mainly because the assets were too few and not versatile enough.
However, at that time, it was to support baby during a critical moment, and some functions were used first.
In fact, their main product is still in testing, UNION raised 16 million, and they definitely won’t easily release a product without refining it.
This month, they evolved again, the ninth generation testnet AppV2 is open for testing, introducing Xion and new assets.
Participation Perspective
1. Participate in testing, earn water, cross-chain, and receive 5xp on the dashboard without needing to refresh too much.
There are also permanent social tasks and wallet connections.
2. Kaito construction, there has been voting for xp before, the project team still cares about Kaito, and currently, there aren't many listings in the Chinese community; teachers, keep it up.
Many people say that writing this is useless or don't know how to write; in fact, it still requires attention to posture. If you don’t have the ability to create long texts, there’s no need to force it or copy and paste, using AI to rewrite, creating internet garbage is pointless.
Learn to observe the social graph, pay attention to interacting more with the core circles of the project team (for example, @0xkaiserkarel, @e_beriker, @larry0x, @73lV_ etc.), and engage in high-quality interactions.
When you have no influence in the community, first immerse yourself as a listener; sometimes, just keeping up with the latest news and understanding it translated into Chinese can easily get you on the list.
3. Add LST/BABY LP in Tower, which is more suitable for teachers who have previously participated in various ecological agreements of babylon and received BABY airdrops.
If you come in for UNION points, be aware of the impermanent loss; this is not a single asset deposit.
However, Union is currently leaning towards BTCFi; they are also currently the most suitable protocol for BTC cross-chain. Currently, the baby system has 4.8 billion USD of BTC assets in the DeFi ecosystem, and these BTC will circulate and be used through Union.
In the future, there will likely be more opportunities for BTC labor; they focus on bringing bridge funds into the Baby ecosystem agreements for staking and earning interest, obtaining native profits from the agreements, effectively transferring the bubble and giving coin hoarders more mining opportunities.
4. Sign up to participate in the trusted setup ceremony; Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is the proof of system security, adopting the latest generation of ZK technology.
After the public phase of the ceremony begins, everyone can verify whether the union network is reliable; even if everyone is a fraud, just one honest person (like you, who needs to use it, doesn’t need to trust anyone else, just verify yourself) can ensure the security of the protocol.
5. Ecological NFT @WhaleSharkNFTs, not sure if it’s blue-chip or if there will be an airdrop; we sloths have a DC ROLE to earn some xp for real.
