Muon Network

Muon Network is a decentralized validation layer between smart contracts and external data: developers deploy custom micro-validators as MuonApps running on dynamic subnets of nodes, each node fetches and processes data and co-signs results with FROST threshold signatures, and once a preset majority agrees the network emits a proof that contracts can verify. Randomly rotating subnets, an EigenLayer active validation service and a Shield server make up its security stack, and because signatures are chain-agnostic, one proof can be checked on any EVM or non-EVM chain.

Applications on the layer include the verifiable random number generator Derand, the agent security wallet AI Safe and the cross-chain bridge MetaBridge; Muon also joins LayerZero as a decentralized verifier network, with its DVN live on 10 chains as an independent verification option for cross-chain messages. The protocol and MUON token launched on Avalanche mainnet on April 9, 2025, with nodes and tokens from predecessor Pion migrated automatically.
