History of ZetaChain
ZetaChain’s founder was an early Coinbase employee and one of the creators of Basic Attention Token (BAT). Investors include all major market makers, top exchanges, early Coinbase and Binance employees including Dan Romero, Sam Rosenblum, and John Yi, as well as major contributors to some of the industry’s most widely adopted protocols and well known funds, including Polygon’s JD Kanani.
Advisors to the project include Coinbase’s first Head of People Nathalie McGrath who scaled the industry leading exchange from 10 employees to over 800, and Juan Suarez, who served as in-house counsel at Coinbase from 2013 to 2022.
What is ZetaChain’s mission?
ZetaChain’s mission is to build a platform for global access, simplicity, and utility across any blockchain.
What is $ZETA? What are its use cases?
A token that covers the gas costs for ZetaChain smart contact, ZETA is used to bind, stake, and slash the PoS ZetaChain blockchain. ZETA is the engine behind ZetaChains’ cross-chain transfer, swaps, message delivery, and security. ZETA is one of the earliest locally produced multi-chain tokens, spanning many chains and levels.
What sets ZetaChain apart from other blockchain platforms?
Unlike other L1 blockchains that focus on faster and cheaper, ZetaChain focuses on interoperability and security.
Blockchain ecosystem is fragmented, ZetaChain wants to provide a unified world for developers and users, where everyone can access a unified liquidity user base from one place.
ZetaChain’s native omnichain smart contract platform lets developers deploy contracts with the same ease as developing dApps for a single network like Ethereum, that orchestrate data and value across many or all chains. ZetaChain’s connectivity is chain-agnostic and can connect to and bring smart contract capabilities to even non-smart-contract chains like Bitcoin and Dogecoin.
What can we expect from ZetaChain this 2024?
- Upgrading our Omnichain Smart Contract
- Supporting more BTC address types
- Integrating more blockchains
