- nuConstruct raises $6M led by Cyber Fund.
- 1-second transaction goal on Ethereum.
- Ethereum mainnet may get instant transaction confirmations.
Nut Graph: TOOL Protocolโs seed funding, led by Cyber Fund, aims to enhance Ethereumโs efficiency. The initiative, led by nuConstruct, incorporates Intel TDX for enhanced security, targeting less than 1-second transaction confirmations.
The team at nuConstruct is leveraging Intel TDX to meet their goals.
โTOOL aims to be censorship resistant and to have unmatched liveness properties due to being a fully permissionless peer-to-peer network.โ โ 0xprincess, Developer, TOOL Protocol.
Ethereumโs competitive stance may improve as TOOL Protocol seeks to provide censorship-resistant, rapid confirmations on a permissionless platform.
Immediate effects include potential increases in transaction volume and enhanced dApp responsiveness. Ethereum may become more competitive compared to alternative Layer 2 solutions.
Financial implications could involve broader adoption of Ethereum among developers. TOOL Protocolโs architecture may influence validator roles, aiming for a more decentralized consensus.
Queries around privacy and security arise, although TOOL emphasizes Intel TDXโs improved isolation over previous technologies. Ethereumโs future transactions might benefit from this increased speed and security.
