Cyber (formerly CyberConnect) is a restaked Ethereum Layer-2 for social built on the OP Stack with EigenDA. It unifies the project’s on-chain social stack (CyberGraph, CyberAccount/AA, and ecosystem apps like Link3) and rebranded from “CyberConnect” on May 15, 2024, when mainnet went live.
Quick Facts
-
Product: Cyber — L2 for social (ex-CyberConnect) • Mainnet & rebrand: May 15, 2024.
-
Stack: OP Stack rollup + EigenDA data availability; “restaked” security via EigenLayer AVS infrastructure.
-
Core building blocks: CyberGraph (social data protocol), CyberAccount (ERC-4337 AA smart accounts), W3ST (non-transferable “Web3 Status Tokens”).
-
Ecosystem app: Link3 — verified Web3 profile/events hub (spun out as its own brand alongside the L2 launch).
-
Token: CYBER (fixed 100,000,000 total supply; vesting/unlock schedules published by trackers).
Key Features
-
Social-optimized L2: Low fees & high throughput for social apps; modular design on the OP Stack with EigenDA for cheap data.
-
Account Abstraction (ERC-4337): CyberAccount smart accounts with bundler/paymaster support (gas sponsorship, recovery flows).
-
CyberGraph primitives: On-chain, identity-linked content & connections standard; W3ST badges for non-transferable reputation/status.
-
Link3 for orgs & creators: Verified profiles, event pages, and social hubs for projects/communities.
-
Restaked security & incentives: Users can stake CYBER which is delegated to EigenLayer AVS operators (sequencers/verifiers/CyberDB); stakers share network revenue and program incentives.
How It Works (at a glance)
-
Build on Cyber L2: Deploy EVM contracts (OP Stack) and integrate CyberGraph for follows, posts, reputation, etc.
-
Use CyberAccount (AA): Let users sign with ERC-4337 smart accounts; sponsor gas via a paymaster for smoother onboarding.
-
Issue W3ST & badges: Grant non-transferable W3ST to recognize roles, contributions, or participation.
-
Grow with Link3: Create verified org/user pages, events, and social actions that tie back to your on-chain graph.
