🔍 Overview:

ZetaChain $ZETA is a new Layer 1 blockchain designed to be the center of omnichain dApps – that is applications that can interact directly with multiple chains simultaneously (no need for bridges, wrapped tokens).

The most notable feature of ZetaChain is its direct communication support with Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon…, creating a seamless cross-chain DeFi experience right from the base layer.


🚀 Why is $ZETA noteworthy?

Real omnichain support – no wrapped tokens used
– Developers can call contracts on Ethereum, interact with native BTC wallets from smart contracts on ZetaChain
– Example: Swap BTC → ETH in a single transaction, no need for wrapped BTC

Exclusive Omnichain Smart Contract
– ZetaChain provides an SDK for developers to write contracts that can interact with multiple chains simultaneously
– Allows building dApps like DEX, lending, NFT, voting… cross-chain easily

Supports both Bitcoin and non-EVM chains
– Is one of the rare platforms that can interact with the Bitcoin mainnet without needing an intermediary layer
– This is a significant breakthrough because most bridges today only support EVM chains

Backed by several major VCs

– Raised $27M from Blockchain.com, Sky9, Human Capital, VistaLabs, Gumi Ventures

– Involvement from former engineers at Google, Cosmos, and the founder of THORChain


📊 Basic information (7/2025):

– Price: ~$0.22
– ATH: ~$2.
– Marketcap: ~$208.78M
– FDV: ~$473.38M
– Circulating supply: ~926,187,500 / 2,100,000,000 ZETA
– Mainnet launch: Q1/2024
– Mechanism: Tendermint (Cosmos SDK)


🧠 Long-term potential:

– Becoming the infrastructure hub for the omnichain-native world, where users only need one dApp to manage assets across multiple chains
– If successful, it could directly compete with bridges like Wormhole, LayerZero, Axelar but without the need for wrapped tokens


⚠️ Risks / Notes:

– The product is still new, and there aren't many prominent dApps → adoption is currently a challenge
– Extremely strong competition with existing cross-chain infrastructure projects that already have market share
– Token price fluctuated significantly after the airdrop (which was assessed as small and unsatisfactory to the community)


💡 Summary:

ZetaChain is a unique Layer 1: instead of just being a 'smart contract platform', they are building the future omnichain-native, no wrapped tokens, no complex bridges.

If you believe that the future of Web3 needs to simplify cross-chain experiences, $ZETA is one of the most interesting moves to watch.


What do you think about omnichain Layer 1? Can ZetaChain beat LayerZero or Wormhole?
