ZetaChain Introduces Cross-Chain NFT Toolkit for Innovative Use Cases
🤯 Mind-Blowing Cross-Chain Possibilities

ZetaChain, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, has launched an open-source NFT Omnichain Smart Contract toolkit. This toolkit enables developers to create cross-chain NFT use cases, such as representing native BTC loans as NFTs on ZetaChain. Key features include minting NFTs by depositing native tokens from connected chains, managing NFT collections, burning NFTs to withdraw tokens, and transferring NFTs. The toolkit allows for complex financial agreements like loans, with automated processes and transparent decentralized management. ZetaChain's omnichain functionality enables lending and borrowing across different networks. The company is partnering with StackUpHQ to help developers learn and experiment with the new toolkit.
