ZetaChain is the world's first omnichain smart contract platform and the only decentralized public blockchain and smart contract platform built for omnichain interoperability. It is clear that multi-chaining will progress in the future. It features two core features, omni-chain smart contracts and cross-chain messaging, that enable true interoperability. This is an application-independent chain that is not tied to a specific pair of assets or chains.
