Product Used

Zeeve Rollups-as-a-Service + ZKsync ZK Stack

Key Outcomes
  • Custom ZKsync Prividium built for institutional-grade privacy, compliance & governance.
  • Permissioned access via soulbound NFT-based identity.
  • Used in Deutsche Bank’s Project DAMA 2 (under Singapore MAS’s Project Guardian).
  • Created a filterer contract that allows only bridge deposits, while blocking all other types of L1 to L2 communication.
  • The Whole setup is ready for institutional onboarding with Ethereum-level security.
DeFi set out to bank the unbanked and make finance programmable. It did, but along the way, it became a maze of chains, bridges, wrapped assets, one-off oracles, and siloed liquidity. Builders now pick their compromises: speed or security, composability or scale, UX or compliance. Users juggle apps across chains. Institutions sit at the door, still unconvinced that a patchwork can carry real capital.

UniOcean enters with a different premise: don’t build a single app or a single primitive, build the Financial OS that DeFi actually runs on. Instead of scattering the stack across ten networks and five trust assumptions, UniOcean consolidates core primitives — Spot and Perpetuals trading, tokenized RWA exchange, Stablecoin Studio, Prediction markets - on a single, interoperable chain, underpinned by a Liquidity Hub, a native Decentralized Oracle Network, and compliance-aware modules.

We are a sovereign Layer 1 built on Cosmos SDK and Tendermint BFT, IBC-native from day one, EVM-compatible via Ethermint (with CosmWasm support), and purpose-built for DeFi-native and institutional-grade applications

The result is a vertically integrated, horizontally scalable OS that treats DeFi as a system.
Why a Financial OS?
The last cycle revealed something profound: innovation thrives, but integration always lags behind. Every breakthrough—AMMs, perps, RWAs, intents—arrived as another island. Liquidity, UX, and trust are fragmented. The costs are visible:
  • Congestion and unpredictable inclusion times on general-purpose L1s.
  • Liquidity is being sprayed across L1s/L2s/appchains/L3s, inflating slippage and incentivizing spend.
  • Oracle fragility produces liquidation cascades and manipulative edge cases.
  • “Decentralized” chains with tiny, permissioned validator sets and over-concentrated voting power.
  • No clean path for KYC/AML, access controls, or auditable flows. All these are non-starters for institutions.
UniOcean’s thesis is simple: DeFi needs one chain that’s purpose-built to run all core financial functions, with liquidity and data as first-class, programmable resources. We are an IBC-connected hub that complements the rest of the multichain world, while offering the determinism, speed, and compliance rails that finance demands.

We call it a Financial Operating System for programmable value.

The Chain:
Sovereign L1, Exchange-Grade Priorities
UniOcean is a dPoS network (Tendermint BFT) built for low latency, high throughput, and deterministic finality. At launch, the chain is optimized for ~10,000 transactions per second, with a clear path to scale beyond 100,000+ TPS through modular extensions, such as ZK/Optimistic rollups, sovereign appchains, and execution parallelization. The priority is predictable performance for workloads such as perpetuals, stablecoin settlement, RWA transactions, and real-time prediction markets.
On the developer side, UniOcean is both EVM-compatible via Ethermint (allows Solidity projects to migrate without friction) and CosmWasm-native, which brings the full flexibility of Cosmos-based development. With IBC integration at its core, UniOcean enables smooth interchain accounts, asset transfers, and cross-chain data flows. Composability is preserved not just within the base L1, but also across AppChains, through shared state visibility and ecosystem-level indexing.

The fee system adopts an EIP-1559-inspired dynamic base-fee model, with both base and priority fees flowing to validators rather than being burned. This ensures fair and predictable gas pricing, aligning network economics with validator uptime and security.

Security is enforced across multiple layers through slashing and jailing mechanisms, open validator participation with a streamlined yet resilient validator set, delegated staking that shares both rewards and risks, and governance-driven circuit breakers for coordinated responses in emergencies.

U-DEX – Decentralized Exchange & Aggregator

U-DEX combines the efficiency of centralized order books with the composability of AMMs, delivering CEX-grade execution on-chain. Its volatility-aware dynamic fee engine adapts to market conditions, and IBC integration gives cross-chain liquidity. U-DEX functions as DEX-as-a-Service, and builders can launch a branded exchange without reinventing infrastructure and without fragmenting liquidity.

U-PERP — Perpetuals Exchange

Perps demand fairness and speed. UniOcean’s on-chain liquidation engine eliminates opaque off-chain triggers, while a decentralized funding and risk module curbs over-leverage and protects LPs. With institutional-grade APIs and audit layers, U-PERP welcomes professional traders without sacrificing DeFi transparency.

U-RWA — Real-World Asset Exchange

Tokenized assets require rails that most chains lack. U-RWA provides a native tokenization layer with attestable metadata, built-in KYC/AML controls, and oracle-verified settlement. Commodities, real estate, bonds, or carbon credits can be traded in a compliant, auditable, and interoperable environment, composable with UniOcean’s liquidity and stablecoin systems.

Stablecoin Studio

Stablecoins are the backbone of DeFi, and Stablecoin Studio enables them to be native. Issuers can launch fiat-backed or algorithmic stablecoins with auditable collateral, programmable redemption rules, and built-in liquidity incentives. These assets are cross-chain by design — Cosmos, EVM, and others — without the fragility of wrappers.

Decentralized Oracle Network

A protocol-level oracle ensures real-world data flows with integrity. Providers, backers, and takers validate feeds through epoch-based consensus with slashing for manipulation. Prices for perps, RWAs, and prediction markets remain verifiable, transparent, and incentive-aligned. These build the foundation of institutional trust.

Liquidity Hub

The capstone of UniOcean’s OS. Liquidity Hub aggregates shared pools with smart routing, cross-chain access via IBC, and Liquidity-as-a-Service APIs for external apps. Builders no longer need to bootstrap liquidity from scratch; they can plug into a neutral liquidity backbone that powers both UniOcean-native and external protocols.

Prediction Market Protocol

This is a censorship-resistant primitive for forecasting and insurance. Dynamic odds engines and oracle-backed resolution provide fair outcomes, while token-weighted dispute resolution adds transparency. Composable with UniOcean’s oracle and liquidity layers, prediction markets become a first-class citizen of the OS.

Wallet & Explorer

They are the front door into any ecosystem. UniOcean features a unified, multi-chain wallet that is IBC-native, with social recovery, and is future-ready for perps and RWAs. An explorer with deep chain analytics, customizable dashboards, and developer-friendly APIs gives both users and institutions the visibility they need.
Compliance & Governance Built for Real Capital
A Fully Customized ZKsync Prividium for Memento, Built by Zeeve
DeFi can’t attract serious capital without guardrails. Institutions demand compliance, transparency, and risk frameworks, and UniOcean builds them into the chain itself.
“The future of digital asset servicing demands infrastructure that is not only scalable, but inherently compliant and interoperable, Memento ZK Chain, *launched with Zeeve as our RaaS partner,* is purpose-built as a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs and a permissioned sequencer to enable confidential, institution-grade fund issuance. By anchoring DAMA 2 on this ZK-powered layer, we provide the deterministic control institutions need, while preserving the openness, modularity, and composability of public blockchain ecosystems.”
— Nicola Lanteri, CEO of Memento Blockchain.
Here’s what we implemented together:

Programmable compliance for RWAs.

Native KYC layers, selective privacy, and access controls ensure regulated pools can operate securely without compromising open participation elsewhere.

Auditability at the protocol level.

Every movement of assets and collateral is traceable, producing the audit trails that regulators and enterprises require.

Risk managed by governance.

A dedicated DAO Risk Management Council oversees listings, leverage limits, and index parameters — embedding financial discipline where it matters most.

Progressive decentralization with OceanX.

In early phases, stewardship rests with a foundation council. Post-launch, governance shifts on-chain, where staked OceanX tokens confer voting power over emissions, treasury, product modules, and protocol parameters.

Protocol-level specialization

Zeeve has leveraged its Cosmos protocol-level specialization, which Zeeve has already offered for L1s like Router Protocol and Ethermint. More specifically, Zeeve offers the following assistance for Anryton:


  • Benchmarked setups (for nodes, storage system, smart contract platform, APIs, etc).
  • Decentralized & fully flexible setups for on-demand scaling.
  • 24/7 support & maintenance to maintain performance.
  • Smart monitoring & alert system for efficient infrastructure management.
  • Production-grade SLAs for the core protocol itself.

Default 24/7 Infra monitoring with Enterprise SLAs

Zeeve offers 24/7 infrastructure monitoring with proper enterprise SLAs to keep Anryton’s Cosmos SDK-based network up and running with zero downtime.

Advanced access control mechanism

Catering to the Anryton’s privacy-first blockchain’s design, the appchain experts at Zeeve created custom, advanced ACMs and implemented them for Anryton’s Cosmos SDK L1.

OceanX is the Coordination Layer of the Financial OS
At the center of UniOcean is OceanX. It’s the coordination layer that powers the network’s economy and governance. Every transaction, every primitive, every flow runs through OceanX, tying value directly to usage.

Gas, staking, governance.

OceanX fuels transactions, secures the chain through delegated staking, and anchors protocol governance. Holders don’t just speculate — they participate.

Real value capture.

Fees from the entire stack (DEX trades, perps, RWA exchanges, stablecoin operations) are paid in or routed into OceanX, aligning network growth with token demand.

Adaptive incentives.

Staking rewards adjust dynamically with TVL, while deflationary mechanics like fee burns and treasury buybacks counterbalance emissions during periods of high activity.

Distribution with intent.

Incentives and liquidity mining accelerate ecosystem growth, while treasury reserves fund long-term sustainability, validators secure consensus, and community airdrops widen alignment.
Roadmap with Teeth: Scaling Today, Future-Proofing Tomorrow
UniOcean’s roadmap has a sequence designed to prove adoption early and harden the network for the long game.

The focus is on utility and adoption. The chain rolls out with a testnet with U-DEX and U-PERP, followed by TGE and staking, then U-RWA and Stablecoin Studio to bring real-world liquidity on-chain. DAO activation, Memecoin Studio, and the first rounds of governance signal a fast move toward community ownership.
Result
The Outcome
Rapid, 2- weeks Time-to-market
Quantum-Resistant Architecture (Q1 2026–Q2 2028). A staged deployment of lattice-based, hash-based, multivariate, and code-based cryptography across validators, wallets, and interchain links. Because serious institutions won’t touch a chain that ignores the post-quantum threat.
Significant cost reduction
Intent-Based Interoperability Engine (2026). Account abstraction, bundled transactions, and one-click cross-chain actions validated on-chain. DeFi UX stops feeling like an engineering manual and starts feeling like an app.
Top-notch performance & Scalability
Liquidity Sovereignty & Institutional Access (2026–2027). Programmable compliance frameworks for RWAs, whitelisted liquidity modules for regulated pools, EKM/MPC custody integrations, and composable KYC networks. If you want pension funds and sovereign treasuries, you don’t just talk decentralization — you build the rails they need.
Let’s Wrap:
UniOcean is standardizing a system. Most chains attempt to be everything for everyone, but end up as throughput demonstrations with third-party crutches. UniOcean chooses a lane—finance—and designs every layer to serve it: consensus tuned for exchange-grade latency; IBC for real interop; a Liquidity Hub to compress incentive spend and deepen books; a Decentralized Oracle Network to harden truth; Stablecoin Studio and U-RWA to court enterprises; U-PERP and U-DEX to anchor native economic activity; and a compliance & governance stack that invites institutional capital without suffocating permissionless innovation.

If DeFi’s next act is programmable, composable, and capital-efficient finance that normal users and real institutions can trust, it won’t be stitched together by a thousand one-offs. It will look like an operating system.

That’s the bet UniOcean is making. And it’s the first one that treats DeFi as an integrated, interoperable Financial OS—purpose-built for DeFi-native and institutional-grade applications.

DeFi, reimagined for scale. Built for trust. Architected for the future.
