Introducing the ZetaChain, it’s ZetaSimple:) Twitter https://twitter.com/zetablockchain **Discord ** https://discord.com/invite/kjQBqcZtnh Today I want to introduce you about the launch of ZetaChain and it’s ongong testnet. Zetchain is the world's first and only blockchain that connects everything. It facilitates cross-chain and cross-tier money transfer, message delivery, and smart contract invocation, enabling for the first time omnichain dApps (odApps) that can efficiently use liquidity across multiple networks and read and update states across all connected networks. Developers looking to support multiple networks face the challenge of supporting their dApps across multiple networks, each with its own challenges and limitations. At the same time, users looking to maximize returns using different dApps end up using different bridges to move assets between networks. Each of these bridges has its own wrapped tokens and trust models that fragment liquidity and create a confusing and costly user experience for users - multiple interfaces, payment for multiple transactions, and so on. While many projects focus on interoperability, the ecosystem has become more fragmented than ever. **What can you do with Zetachain? ** ZetaChain includes a Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK that is connected to external blockchains (e.g. Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Avalanche, Terra, Bitcoin) and tiers (e.g. Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum) decentralized ( without a single point of failure, without trust, without permissions), in a transparent and efficient way. With ZetaChain, we will enable developers to create odApps as easily as they would when developing dApps for single chains like Ethereum or Polygon, while leveraging cross-chain compositing capabilities effectively. ZetaChain provides users and developers with two ways to use their cross-chain capabilities. First, ZetaChain provides EVM-compatible smart contracts so developers don't need to learn another language and can easily customize their existing Ethereum dApps to work on all connected networks. In addition, ZetaChain has built-in decentralized bridges between all connected blockchains so that assets and data can easily enter and exit ZetaChain. Second, ZetaChain will be a programmable public computer that directly reads and updates the states on all connected networks. Application logic predominantly runs on ZetaChain while states predominantly run on external blockchains. The possibilities of what can be created with ZetaChain are endless, but some of the applications developers can create include: Cross-chain DEX in native tokens without "wrapper" Decentralized and fault-tolerant bridges Omnichain smart contracts that can control and execute events across all connected blockchains Cross-chain lending and yield protocols Omnichain NFT Apps ZetaChain Token (ZETA) ZetaChain's ZETA Token is used to pay gas fees in the ZetaChain smart contract, and additionally used to secure the ZetaChain POS blockchain through bonding/staking/slashing. ZETA also underpins ZetaChain's cross-chain transfer, messaging, message delivery, and security. ZETA is one of the first cross-chain tokens, which is initially issued on various blockchains and levels. Users can directly move the ZETA token from any blockchain A to blockchain B. The mechanism is a one-way pegging (i.e. burning an amount of X on blockchain A and then minting an amount of X on blockchain B). We use our own ZETA token to represent the monetary cross-chain because: Unlike the more common two-way binding, there is no "wrapper" and therefore no multiple representation of the same underlying asset. The only (own) money that can be transferred between blockchains is the ZETA token, which reduces the attack surface, making it easier to understand the audit and therefore increase security. For example, we can check the total volume on the contract mint website. Users can pay to ZETA for the cross-chain service provided by ZETA and for gas on the final blockchain. 💰 For testing, we will be credited with ZETA (ZP) points, which are not tokens. They are required to keep track of our contribution to Testnet. Most likely, the size of the awards will depend on their number, if they, of course, will be (not yet officially announced). Step 1: Go to the Chainlist website https://chainlist.org/ Click Connect Wallet Turn on the display of test networks, use the search bar to find the BSC test network and connect it. Step 2: Go to the CRANE https://faucet.paradigm.xyz/ Click Login with Twitter Specify your wallet, check the box and click - Request Step 3: Go to the FAUCET of test BNB coins https://testnet.binance.org/faucet-smartInsert wallet and click Give me BNB Step 4: Go to testnet website https://labs.zetachain.com/leaderboard?code=s0Hixxo68sDiKkJSNZ9BM Click Check with Twitter Click Connect Wallet and Get Assets Select MetaMask Click Request Assets You can get Zeta points every 24 hours. Step 5: Go to Leaderboard Click Verify Wallet, then go to the Swap section, select the blockchains and tokens we want to change and click view Order. Click the "Allow ZETA Transfer" button. Remember you can get 7000 points every week, but i recommend you to do daily swaps for testing platform! Next step galxe quest.
