Storage Proof Use Cases
Use Case | Opportunity |
---|---|
Cross-chain lending | Lending platforms can offer cross-chain lending by enabling users to secure loans on one chain, supported by a Storage Proof of collateral from another. For instance, securing a loan on a Layer 2 platform using collateral on Ethereum. |
DEX | Implement Storage Proofs for margin accounts and withdrawals, ensuring sufficient margin and debt obligations are met across chains. |
Account recovery | Trigger a withdrawal to a predefined address if specific criteria are fulfilled. For example, use a Storage Proof showing that the wallet nonce has not changed in over a year. |
Insurance | Insurance protocols can leverage Storage Proofs to automate claims based on predefined conditions. Upon risk events, Storage Proofs can be generated and submitted for near-instant on-chain verification, enabling fast, efficient, and transparent claim processing. |
Governance | Enable users to vote on Layer 2 using their Ethereum-held assets, verifying voting power without transferring assets. |
Bridging | Verify locked assets on an origin chain using Storage Proofs and initiate the minting of equivalent tokens on the target chain, enhancing security of cross-chain transfers. |
Gaming | Enable users to verify ownership of in-game NFTs across different Layer 2s. Utilize Storage Proofs as an app-chain operator to confirm user asset ownership on your app chain. |
Access to RANDAO | Provide access to RANDAO randomness generated by the Ethereum Consensus Layer on other chains. |
Circuit Breakers | Implement protocol safeguards by halting operations if a Storage Proof demonstrates unexpected behaviour on another chain. |
