Loopring Partnered with Blockchain at Berkeley

The initial focus of this collaboration will involve researching and testing more robust Loopring relay infrastructures. The first step of this will include benchmarking the current IPFS based relay implementation used by Loopring. This will then be compared to other models including a single/centralized relay, and consortium-blockchain based relay networks powered by Hyperledger Fabric and/or Onchain’s DNA technologies. From this data, researchers at Berkeley will analyze the tradeoff between trust and efficiency and determine the best approach to be taken. There are several other factors that will be analyzed and two other projects are being defined for our team to complete.

Progress and findings from these initiatives will be covered in additional blog posts from B@B and Loopring Foundation.

“Loopring is building a powerful yet elegant value exchange protocol for blockchain powered cyber-economy of the future, and we envisioned two to five years from now more token trading activities will happen in a decentralized and trustless fashion, using loopring or the like. The protocol’s relay infrastructure is crucially important for liquidity sharing and high speed of trading, … We believe the partnership will fuse Berkeley’s strength in research and our experience in engineering, and will greatly improve the Loopring Protocol’s potentials. “— Daniel Wang, Loopring Founder
