Union builds Zero Knowledge infrastructure for interoperability that will enable permissionless and trust minimized message passing between the Interchain and Ethereum. Union is based on consensus verification and has no dependencies on trusted third parties, oracles, multi-signatures, or MPC. Union is the first messaging protocol with an IBC connection between Ethereum and their testnet.
