Hey everyone, Aki here – founder of Luxvoid (Project Monolith).
I have been so busy lately and i am so touched by the community engagement on my last post
I will try to cover a bigger picture of what I am executing how and exactly here at CKB. We aren’t building a dApp or a token. We’re building the modular infrastructure to bypass the human oracle and lock physical matter directly to the only decentralized truth everyone trusts:$BTC
Over the last few weeks, I worked intensely hard to bring my dream to life and i cant thank enough to all the core team and dev members who are always so supportive and helpful, most of the tools (99%) i used to build this project are already in existance and remainder 1-2% were some hiccups for which i have to look into some specific docs etc. which was first hand and instantaneously provided my devs and community members my experience with cooking and development has been so seamless
.I want to walk you through what that means, how it connects, and why it matters and what we have successfully developed and tested on testnet so far.
The Problem: Oracles Break Trust
Today, if you want a DeFi loan against physical gold, you hand it to a centralized vault. You lose custody. You trust a human.
The Monolith Solution: We fuse pure bullion with a cryptographic chip inside tamper-evident polymer resin. Hold the gold in your safe. Tap it with your phone (biometric onboarding via JoyID). Through RGB++ isomorphic binding, that physical tap anchors your asset directly to a Bitcoin UTXO.
Bitcoin becomes the root. The value flows to Bitcoin.
The Architecture: Bitcoin → CKB → EVM
Physical metal is slow. High-frequency trading is fast. Here’s how we bridge them without losing the Bitcoin root:
1. The CKB Shadow (The True Bank)
While the asset is anchored to Bitcoin, its Turing-complete “shadow” lives on CKB. You can draw DeFi collateral against the gold sitting on your desk because its state is mathematically verified on CKB. This makes CKB your true settlement layer.
2. The EVM Bridge (Lightspeed Liquidity)
We built a custom Wormhole bridge from CKB to EVM chains (Monad, Ethereum). You don’t tap the physical gold for every trade. You trade the EVM shadow at lightspeed, while the physical root stays locked on Bitcoin L1.
3. The ZK Fortress (The Engine Room)
To make this infrastructure mathematically bulletproof at global scale, we just deployed three verification lanes to Nervos public testnet:
-
Lane 1 (The Handshake – STARKs): Custom Winterfell circuits verify the chip’s ECDSA signature using U256 ripple-carry arithmetic, running natively on CKB’s RISC-V VM.
-
Lane 2 (The Compressor – SNARKs): We built a STARK-to-SNARK wrapper that compresses the large STARK proof into a tiny PLONK SNARK using
ckb-zkp. This enables cheap verification across EVMs. -
Lane 3 (The Factory Floor – MMR): Merkle Mountain Ranges let industrial scanners (conveyor belts, UHF gateways) verify 1,000 encapsulated bars at once – one proof for an entire batch.
All three lanes are live on testnet (Underway wrapping) Transaction hashes at the bottom.
When I started cooking on CKB the project (I doubt it hasnt been 2 complete weeks yet) was not that big but eventually every single piece falling into place And the developers @phroi @fgh and many others came along they keep observing mu hustle and keep asking me development questions so they can guide me what all things I can integrate The MMR thing is a gift by @fgh , door to RGB++ was a huge gift by @phroi .

What’s Next
Project Monolith is modular Layer-0 infrastructure. What we’re doing for bullion today applies to luxury goods, defense logistics, and global supply chains tomorrow. We track physical assets from origin to death cycle, entirely on-chain, rooted in Bitcoin.
I’m happy to dive deeper on any of this – the math, the contracts, the physics. Ask questions, leave remarks, challenge me. Let’s build.
Physical asset → Bitcoin (RGB++) → CKB (state + verification) → EVM (liquidity)
Godspeed, and back to the forge.
