ZetaChain Introduces Developer Tutorials for Omnichain Smart Contracts
ZetaChain has released new developer tutorials for creating omnichain smart contracts that enable the swapping of tokens between different blockchains. This development comes after ZetaChain announced its support for NFTs and digital asset trading within Bitcoin wallets. The protocol will soon support NFT managed Omnichain Smart Contracts, allowing users to mint NFTs on the Bitcoin network and trade them across any network. ZetaChain aims to simplify interoperability and reduce transaction costs by implementing Omnichain Smart Contracts. The architecture also enables the programming of chains like Bitcoin and asset management across multiple chains.
We continue to add new developer tutorials for Zeta App builders. In this latest one, you will learn how to create an omnichain smart contract for swapping tokens between blockchains: youtube.com/watch?v=RQjrqh…
We just saw a sneak peek of next gen liquidity pools by Eddy Finance. Using an Omnichain Smart Contract, Eddy will support native deposits of ETH, BTC, and MATIC in one single pool. For context, today's existing interoperability solutions entail asset risks like wrapping and
3. Lowest cost and gas fees ⛽️ Eddy Finance’s special algorithm ensures swaps with minimal risk and slippage. Instead of expensive message-passing, transferring assets on external chains only comes with basic transfer gas fees. This can save you a lot on gas costs 💸 (5/10)
With ZetaChain, Bitcoin owners can now buy/sell NFTs and digital assets without ever leaving their Bitcoin wallet. @_Hominids_ showcases this feature on testnet, taking first place in our inaugural ZetaChain for Bitcoin hackathon. Congratulations! Coming soon, the ZetaChain

ZetaChain Launches .zeta Domains with Space ID Protocol
ZetaChain and Space ID Protocol have launched .zeta domains on the Universal Blockchain, viewable through Blockscout. The initiative has seen remarkable adoption with nearly 50,000 domains registered in just 72 hours. Key features: - Cross-chain NFT transfers enabled - Omnichain Smart Contract integration coming soon - Management of native assets across multiple chains - Integration with BTC Halving campaign The launch marks a significant step toward unified Web3 identity management. Users can now participate in the Spring BUIDL event featuring @burnt_GG's token minting game. Learn more: [ZetaChain Documentation](http://zetachain.com/docs/developers/omnichain/zeta-evm/)
Protocol Development Planning Update
The protocol team has outlined key development priorities for Q2-Q3 2025: - Focus on enhancing cross-chain interoperability features - Implementation of new security measures for bridge protocols - Optimization of transaction validation processes Technical specifications are being finalized for: - Smart contract upgrades - Network scaling improvements - Enhanced validator node requirements The team is maintaining regular bi-weekly planning calls to track progress and adjust timelines as needed. Community developers can access detailed documentation through the [developer portal](https://docs.example.com). Next community call scheduled for May 1st, 2025.
Enterprise Giants Join Universal Blockchain as Validators
Major tech and telecom companies have joined ZetaChain's validator network, marking a significant milestone for the Universal Blockchain platform. Key validators include: - Google Cloud - Deutsche Telekom - Alibaba Cloud - stc Bahrain - Coinbase The network has processed over 158M transactions to date. These enterprise validators help secure the network, with users able to stake ZETA tokens through their nodes. This follows Google Cloud's earlier commitment to delegate 1M ZETA tokens across five validators, supporting ZetaChain's mission to enable native access across all blockchains.
ZetaChain Hackathon Winners Announced at Penn Blockchain Conference
ZetaChain concluded its hackathon at the Penn Blockchain Conference, celebrating successful projects built on multiple chains.
