ZetaChain Implements Threshold BLS for Cross-Chain Operations
ZetaChain Implements Threshold BLS for Cross-Chain Operations
🔗 BLS Changes Everything
ZetaChain has become the first Layer 1 blockchain to implement Threshold BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) signature technology for cross-chain operations. This technical advancement enables:
- Significantly improved transaction processing speed across chains
- Enhanced throughput for cross-chain transactions
- Native Bitcoin network integration
The implementation marks a notable step in blockchain interoperability. Users can learn more about ZetaChain's capabilities and earn ZETA tokens through Bitstamp's educational program.
ZetaChain is the first L1 bringing Threshold BLS to cross-chain! This unlocks 10–100x faster and higher throughput of cross-chain transactions — including on the Bitcoin network. Learn more 👇
ZetaChain is pioneering Threshold BLS (tBLS) signatures for decentralized asset control across chains — a move that enables orders of magnitude in cross-chain throughput and system scalability. Check out our new ZetaChain Improvement Proposal (ZIP). github.com/zeta-chain/zet…
