For those unfamiliar, LayerEdge is a blockchain infrastructure project building a decentralized zero-knowledge (zk) verification network. The core of its ecosystem is edgenOS, a system that transforms ordinary devices into verification nodes.

Instead of depending on centralized servers or costly specialized hardware, LayerEdge aims to distribute the complex task of zk verification across a wide network of these everyday user devices. The approach is designed to lower costs and increase transparency and security.

The platform’s architecture is notably built upon Bitcoin’s foundational security model. By anchoring its zk verification processes to the Bitcoin blockchain, LayerEdge seeks to provide higher levels of integrity and resilience for decentralized applications (dApps) that utilize its network.

The EDGEN token serves as the backbone of the LayerEdge ecosystem. It fuels transactions, enables access to verification services, and rewards users who participate in securing the network. Users who contribute their devices to the network can earn EDGEN tokens as incentives. This model encourages wide participation and reduces the need for traditional data centers.

By adding EDGEN to its roster, KuCoin continues to expand its portfolio of new tokens debuting on the exchange. This listing may also appeal to users seeking exposure to emerging zero-knowledge technologies, which are becoming a core component of next-generation blockchain applications.

KuCoin has listed several other tokens, including PlatON, PFVS, SOON, DEF-Ai, PRAI, Shardeum, Hyper, Domin, and Zora, serving over 40 million global users.
