ZetaChain

Today, we’re excited to announce our $27 million funding round to accelerate ZetaChain’s mission to offer the first public EVM-compatible L1 blockchain that connects all chains, including Bitcoin, Cosmos, and Ethereum. We founded ZetaChain in 2021 with a mission to establish a new standard for blockchain interoperability where users can access all of their assets and data from one wallet on a single platform, regardless of the blockchain they were created or stored on and without the need for bridges or risky wrapped tokens. This includes non-smart contract chains like the Bitcoin network and Dogecoin. Standardized interoperability provides developers with the ability to deploy a single contract that manages assets and data on all chains, significantly reducing attack surface and development overhead. ZetaChain’s EVM-compatible, omnichain smart contract layer empowers developers to seamlessly implement Bitcoin smart contracts, unlocking a whole new class of dApps. For end users, ZetaChain enables the creation of apps and services with reduced steps, slippage, fees, susceptibility to race conditions, and overall faster, more accessible, and better user experience. Solving the fragmentation problem in crypto is critical to enabling Web3 apps to work for the next hundreds of million of users, who are still blocked by complexities, risk, and lack of accessibility.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve become a validator on ZetaChain to accelerate multi-chain interoperability and digital asset adoption. This collaboration brings the industry closer in realizing the long-term vision of achieving seamless multi-chain connectivity and widespread adoption of digital assets. Ankur Nandwani, Core Contributor of ZetaChain, commented: “We’re excited about our collaboration with Animoca Brands to further secure and scale adoption for Universal Apps that work for all of crypto. Over 540 Web3 companies in the Animoca Brands investment portfolio now have the opportunity to leverage ZetaChain to future-proof their apps and access users on any chain including native Bitcoin.” Yat Siu, our co-founder and executive chairman, commented: “We are excited to partner with ZetaChain and become a validator of this first universal blockchain, helping make multi-chain connectivity more seamless. This collaboration furthers our mission to drive innovation and decentralization across the broader Web3 ecosystem.” https://lnkd.in/gqvR2mPJ

Yesterday night, we launched ZetaChain mainnet beta, bringing smart contracts to native Bitcoin. After almost 20 months in testnet, we are excited to showcase to the Web3 community how ZetaChain is bringing smart contracts to #bitcoin and enabling true omnichain interoperability across our connected chains. If you’ve followed my Web3 journey so far, you know that I’m a vocal critic of poor user experience (UX) and poor developer experience in Web3. Here are several ways ZetaChain simplifies this experience while unlocking native Bitcoin smart contracts. 👉 Bitcoin Maxi? Connect your Bitcoin wallet and deposit native BTC on our ZetaChain dApps! 👉Swap your native gas assets between BTC, ETH, and BNB without relying on any other wrapped tokens. 👉 Say BYEEE 👋🏻👋🏻 to individual multichain smart contract deployments and liquidity sourcing for all chains that your dapp is live on. Launch ONE contract on ZetaChain and become immediately cross-chain among all of our connected chains, including Bitcoin. We are just getting started. Feel free to connect with me and reach out if you’re looking to be a part of our ecosystem :) Kudos to incredible team members: Brandon Truong Swayam S. Jonathan Covey Janice Chok Jessie Zhang and more... :D
