Setting up for a Zeta hack @ZetaChain_Frnch! In the meantime, judging for @ETHIndiaco will kick off in the morning. We're expecting some very compelling omnichain project submissions involving Bitcoin. Stay tuned 👀
Venez discuter interopérabilité des blockchains à Télécom Paris toute la journée !
Soon, we will release a ZetaChain roadmap. One feature will be direct support of Bitcoin Ordinals inputs and the ability for Omnichain Smart Contracts (OSC) to directly custody and manage foreign NFTs including Bitcoin ordinals.
Also, expect the support of BRC20 fungible tokens based on the ordinal tech stack. Users will be able to send Ordinals on Bitcoin network to invoke the OSC.
Today, we shared the stage with @Aptos_Network & @protocollabs and stressed the need for a better interoperability standard for DeFi applications. No more supporting the same app on many chains, no more limited bridges that wrap/lock tokens away in vaults - fungible tokens
December 4th: #FILBangalore by @Filecoin we wil be discussing the Future of fintech applications on top of blockchains with @Scroll_ZKP and @Aptos_Network fil-bangalore.io
ZetaChain dev ecosystem and community members are showing up like no other @IBWofficial! Today was exhilarating! Everyone is gearing up for the @ETHIndiaco hackathon kickoff tomorrow. What omnichain dApps will you build?
