ZetaChain, an EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain, has announced a new feature called Omnichain Abstraction, which aims to provide a unique value proposition for app builders. This feature allows developers to create general-purpose platforms and app chains that can access all blockchain networks from a single place. With Omnichain Abstraction, developers can deploy their code once and access users across multiple chains, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Solana, Base, and over 70 Cosmos IBC chains. This approach is designed to be future-proof, as ZetaChain can support any new chain added to its ecosystem. The company claims that this solution is a much simpler and scalable way for developers to access all chains, while also enabling users to natively interact with smart contracts and deposit or withdraw tokens from any desired chain.
People think "app chains" involve custom modules/permissioned contracts, but you can still be a general purpose platform and app chain if you have a unique value prop to app builders. For ZetaChain, that's Omnichain Abstraction: youtube.com/watch?v=KJIkRv…
Omnichain Smart Contracts is a much simpler, scalable way for devs to access all chains from one place. And users can natively interact with them, depositing/withdrawing tokens, from any chain they desire - even Bitcoin network. Learn more @festival_web3: youtube.com/watch?v=0mnr7y…

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.
