Overview
- Whitechain has relaunched as an Ethereum Layer 2 that prioritizes user distribution over raw technical benchmarks and has opened a public testnet plus applications for its ecosystem programs.
- The project is built on the OP Stack so teams can use existing wallets, indexing and developer tools from launch rather than waiting for bespoke infrastructure.
- W Group and exchange WhiteBIT back Whitechain and bring the relaunch immediate access to large user pools reported at over 40 million and 10 million users respectively to help projects reach customers.
- Whitechain is rolling out three onboarding tracks: a Builder Program with discretionary funding of up to $300,000 per eligible project, Strategic Ecosystem Deals for established protocols, and Chain Expansion Support for multichain projects.
- The team plans Day 1 primitives such as a native DEX, an oracle and a bridge as it moves toward mainnet, a set of features described as developing and contingent on testnet progress that could speed liquidity and cross-chain flows.
