From Stabilization to Launch Readiness: Security, Governance, and Infrastructure Progress

2026 Tokamak Network Bi-Weekly Report #1 : Jan 16 ~ Jan 31

Highlight

This bi-weekly period marked major milestones across three core development streams. Tokamak Private App Channels strengthened channel safety with timeout-based recovery flows and critical contract fixes, while stabilizing the transaction/proof workflow for ERC20 transfers including USDT/USDC. Decentralized Staking and Governance advanced TON Staking V3 with extensive test coverage and RAT verification, while refining Whitepaper V2 updates. Tokamak Rollup Hub completed Bug Bounty Phase 1 and progressed toward mainnet readiness by improving the deployment SDK, shutdown/backup tooling, and DRB integration.

3. Community

3.1. FAQ

These are some of the FAQs from the community. Please check the section below.

• What are the Tokamak Private App Channels?

So far, the Tokamak Network ZKP team has demonstrated that anyone can easily transform Ethereum transactions into zero-knowledge proofs. Our next step is to go beyond that — to replace Ethereum transactions entirely with ZKPs.

In other words, while keeping the original transactions hidden, the Ethereum state is updated only by verifying the proofs.

Tokamak Private App Channels are a concrete realization of this philosophy. You and your peers can autonomously open a channel, generate transactions and ZKPs within it, roll up the results, and then close the channel. All transactions that took place inside it remain your shared secret.

Zero-knowledge proofs and cryptography ensure that none of your peers can cheat — only the actions that were pre-agreed are faithfully verified and executed.

• What is the Tokamak Rollup Hub and why is it important?

The Tokamak Rollup Hub (TRH) is an on-demand Layer 2 infrastructure platform designed to enable seamless deployment and end-to-end lifecycle management of Appchains. It aims to serve as a comprehensive hub that not only showcases our research outputs but also offers essential tools for integration and smooth network operations by deployers. TRH supports various modular rollup technologies and developer-friendly SDKs. In this report, we would like to mention the successful completion of the second round of testing for SDKv1, marking significant progress toward a community-ready release.

• Why do we need a Rollup Hub? Aren’t there already many Layer 2 solutions?

The Tokamak Rollup Hub is more than just another Layer 2 solution — it’s a flexible platform that empowers developers to deploy modular Layer 2 Appchains, supporting various rollup types like Optimistic and ZK Rollups. It enables the integration of components such as bridges, explorers, cross-trade module, random number generator, fraud proofs, and data availability layers based on specific project needs, allowing for fully customized rollup chains. Deployed chains can be self-managed by deployers on their own AWS infrastructure (with support for more environments planned), removing the dependency on third-party RaaS providers.

Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all rollup, Tokamak Rollup Hub provides the flexibility to launch and manage your own rollup architecture tailored to your application’s needs. In that sense, it’s not just a rollup — it’s a platform for building rollups.
