ZetaChain: Backwards and Forwards Compatible with Blockchain

**Pyth** positions itself as **the data layer** for blockchain infrastructure, while **ZetaChain** establishes its role as **the Universal Blockchain layer**. - Pyth focuses on providing reliable data feeds across multiple blockchain networks - ZetaChain emphasizes universal connectivity and interoperability Both projects are carving out distinct infrastructure niches in the evolving blockchain ecosystem, with Pyth handling data provision and ZetaChain managing cross-chain connectivity.

ZetaChain's Ecosystem Lead represented the project at MerkleScience's Stablecoin panel during San Francisco Tech Week. The discussion focused on **TobaDefi**, ZetaChain's universal stablecoin platform, and its role in advancing cross-chain finance solutions. Key highlights: - Panel took place at Worldcoin Flagship Space - Discussion centered on the future of cross-chain finance - TobaDefi platform enables universal stablecoin functionality The event was part of a broader Tech Week initiative showcasing blockchain infrastructure developments and interoperability solutions in the stablecoin ecosystem.

**Yield Millionaire wins Base Onchain Summer Award** for Consumer Apps, marking a significant milestone for cross-chain applications. **Built on ZetaChain**, the app aggregates yield opportunities across major blockchains including: - Ethereum - Solana - Base ecosystem Users can **access rewards from multiple chains** without switching networks, demonstrating the power of Universal Apps. This achievement showcases ZetaChain's ability to enable truly **chain-agnostic applications** with unified user experience and liquidity from a single platform. The win highlights the growing importance of **interoperable solutions** in building an open crypto economy where users aren't limited by individual blockchain boundaries.

**ZetaChain's UNISON upgrade launches September 16**, bringing major improvements to the Universal Blockchain platform. **Key Features:** - **Cosmos SDK upgrade** for enhanced speed and stability - **EVM migration** for better Ethereum compatibility - **EVM precompiles** enabling new smart contract capabilities The upgrade allows developers to **build once and deploy everywhere**, including native Bitcoin integration. Precompiles simplify core functions like staking, voting, and fund transfers through cleaner user interfaces. **Universal Apps** can now reach users across major blockchains with a single deployment, streamlining the multi-chain experience.

**YieldMillion** launches as a new yield farming platform built on ZetaChain's universal blockchain infrastructure. The platform promises to deliver competitive yields across multiple blockchain networks through ZetaChain's **cross-chain connectivity**. - Leverages ZetaChain's Universal Blockchain technology - Enables yield farming across different chains from one platform - Aims to simplify multi-chain DeFi participation ZetaChain's EVM-compatible Layer 1 allows the platform to connect with various blockchains, including Bitcoin, providing users access to diverse yield opportunities without managing multiple wallets or bridges.
