We are stoked to announce that we have closed pre-seed/seed funding rounds from Nascent and BanklessVC with participation from 
a16z crypto CSX, Daedalus Angels, Dialectic_Group, and Public Works, and many builders that we respect.

The Shared Settlement Layer (SSL) for the new internet

Since the founding of the NEBRA team, our goal is simple: to bring massive adoption of zero-knowledge proofs to blockchains, starting from Ethereum.

And the best way to achieve this is to scale zero-knowledge proof verification through recursive proofs, so that Ethereum's zero-knowledge proof verification capabilities can be scaled, much cheaper, and more composable.

You can try the testnet today at https://demo-app.nebra.one, without the need of understanding the "moon math".

Using our investor Ryan S Adams's words: this can make zkRollups verification cost 10x cheaper!

And there is more than that! We think NEBRA UPA is a **huge unlock** to their entire ZK space:
- UPA can make privacy cheaper
- UPA can composes proofs from zkCoprocessors and zkVMs
- UPA can lower the user acquisition cost of zkDID

And there are more to come, on NEBRA UPA:
- In the incoming NEBRA UPA 1.1, we are bringing support for 
Gnark team
  optimized Groth16 (LegoGroth16)
- In the incoming NEBRA UPA 2.0, we are bringing multi proof systems support, with Plonk, fflonk, and Halo2-KZG

We are also cooking a new product that can unleash the full potential of NEBRA UPA (more details 🔜). Let's get on the full speed to bring proof singularity to blockchains!

1. We are more than excited to announce NEBRA UPA, the first Universal Proof Aggregation protocol in production. NEBRA UPA brings 10x plus gas cost reduction and composability for zero-knowledge proof verification.

About three weeks ago, we launched NEBRA UPA: the first universal proof aggregation protocol on Sepolia. See the details here:
