Cyber is an Ethereum Layer 2 network purpose-built for social applications and content creation, evolving from the team behind CyberConnect and Link3 to launch an integrated social ecosystem. Built …using the OP‑Stack and deployed in partnership with AltLayer, Cyber combines Plasma Mode and future EigenDA support to achieve ultra‑low gas costs (< $0.0001 per tx) and throughput able to exceed 100,000 transactions per second—enabling mass‑user onboarding and high‑scale interaction. The platform integrates account abstraction (EIP‑4626/EIP‑7212) for frictionless UX, including seedless wallets, passkey login, and programmable gas models. Its native token CYBER is an Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) with a capped supply of 100 million, used for staking, governance via CyberDAO, gas payment, and restaking to secure EigenLayer‑based network services. Following a rebrand from CyberConnect in May 2024, Cyber mainnet launched officially, consolidating social primitives, identity, developer grants, ecosystem tools, CyberID name system, CyberDB decentralized storage, and staking incentives into one unified platform. Through its staking mechanism, CYBER holders can stake via a vault or pool to earn rewards—including Season 2 bonuses, a 5.5 M CYBER incentive program, network revenue sharing, and ecosystem airdrops—for securing the network's sequencers, verifiers, and storage through EigenLayer’s Actively Validated Services (AVS). Developers and content creators benefit from built‑in social graph infrastructure (the CyberConnect Protocol), CyberAI (an AI suite trained on crypto and social data for agent and UI building), and access to tools like Surf (an AI copilot for on‑chain insights). Cyber supports migration of human‑readable handles (CyberID) from OP Mainnet and enables them to be bought, traded, and migrated starting September 2024. Its roadmap includes CyberDB storage launch in late 2024, native AA upgrade in Q1 2025, and continued developer onboarding via Social Summer incentives. Headquartered in Palo Alto with roots dating to 2021, Cyber’s team includes alumni of the original CyberConnect social project that onboarded over 2 million users and drove more than 20 million transactions. Early backers include Multicoin Capital, Binance Labs, Animoca Brands, Hashed, Spartan Group and Delphi Digital. By combining social graph infrastructure, modular OP‑Stack scaling, economic staking design, AI insight, and developer tooling, Cyber aims to transform how people interact, create, monetize, and cooperate onchain by building social‑native applications that are fast, affordable, and secure.
