<strong>New York, New York, February 11th, 2025, Chainwire</strong>

SEDA has announced the Interoperability Verification Module (IVM) framework to set an industry standard for cross-chain verification for all routes, across any VM.

Today, <a href="https://seda.xyz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SEDA</a> announced the first-of-its-kind <a href="https://x.com/sedaprotocol/status/1889330332798763223" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Interoperability Verification Module</a> framework. SEDA IVMs are a plug-and-play verification solution for interoperability protocols, adding significantly upgraded security, near-instant horizontal scaling, and increased decentralization out of the box. Interoperability providers integrating the SEDA IVM can access a hyper-specialized framework for independent, permissionless verification of any cross-chain transaction across all routes. The SEDA IVM framework is built to serve the modularization of Interoperability architecture necessary to scale from the current landscape of <a href="https://defillama.com/chains" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">347 active networks</a> to an <a href="https://x.com/equilibrium_co/status/1862140047019159994" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">estimated 2,000+ chains</a> by 2026.

The <a href="https://docs.seda.xyz/home/overview/seda-overview/introducing-sedas-flagship-product-the-ivm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">IVM framework</a> leverages a multi-layer verification process consisting of an independent overlay network, decentralized solvers, and a combination of private and public RPC data providers. With <a href="https://wp.hacken.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/2024-Web3-Security-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nearly $2 billion lost in bridge hacks since 2020</a>, the SEDA IVM presents a critical piece of industry-needed security infrastructure. Built to offer a robust, scalable, and customizable module, the IVM provides independent decentralized verification for millions of transactions across thousands of networks.

Key features and benefits of the SEDA IVM include:
<ul>
 	<li>Industry-wide data parity with a singular security zone.</li>
 	<li>Built-in liveness guarantees.</li>
 	<li>Programmable design to suit specific needs of bridge, solver, and abstraction layers.</li>
 	<li>Permissionless access and deployments.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>"The demand for robust interoperability infrastructure has surged as users and developers engage with hundreds of specialized networks," said Peter Mitchell, CEO and Co-founder of SEDA. "Over the last two years, the interoperability sector has expanded dramatically, achieving a transaction volume of over $123 billion in 2024. Projections indicate this sector could reach over $250 billion in 2025. Our IVMs represent a significant advancement for Interop 3.0, allowing any interoperability provider to customize parameters within the SEDA IVM framework, ensuring independent verification across all routes through a single deployment."</blockquote>
Parallel to a message relayed between chains, the IVM automatically initiates a secure verification sequence, in which a dedicated secret committee of independent overlay nodes is formed to query RPC data on the source chain. Results are returned via a commit-reveal scheme for data integrity and preventing manipulation, after which protocol-defined instructions filter and order results before being batched on SEDA's main chain. Data results are secured with tamper-proof cryptographic guarantees before being relayed by solvers to the destination chain.

The <a href="https://www.seda.xyz/post/seda-ivm-framework" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SEDA IVM</a> directly addresses recent industry challenges, such as the <a href="https://www.binance.com/en-IN/square/post/12-20-2024-stargate-experiences-extended-downtime-due-to-executor-malfunction-17823569441801" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Stargate bridge downtime</a> caused by an offline multi-sig verifier. By plugging into SEDA’s distributed verification architecture, interoperability providers inherit security and liveness guarantees associated with SEDA’s Network design, consisting of a performant layer one, a highly decentralized overlay network, and a censorship-resistant solver network. This design mitigates collusion risk and downtime commonly associated with default multi-sig relay setups, which secure over <a href="https://dune.com/octavionotpunk/bridge-market-metrics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">$10 billion in monthly volume.</a>

By decoupling verification, interoperability providers can focus on scaling services to thousands of new chains, allowing SEDA to provide specialized verification for all routes.
