In the fast-evolving world of blockchain, interoperability remains one of the biggest challenges for developers and users alike. ZenBridge emerges as a powerful decentralized application (dApp) designed to bridge this gap, enabling seamless cross-chain transfers between Zenchain and any supported EVM-based blockchain.

ZenBridge empowers users to transfer their tokens securely and efficiently without relying on centralized exchanges or custodians. Built on robust smart contract infrastructure, it ensures trustless transfers, giving users complete control over their assets throughout the bridging process.

The dApp offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies what used to be a complex process. With just a few clicks, anyone can connect their wallet, choose the token and network, and initiate a cross-chain transfer. Whether you are moving tokens to Zenchain for faster transactions and lower fees or sending them back to another EVM chain, ZenBridge ensures a smooth, transparent, and secure experience.

Security is at the heart of ZenBridge. The protocol leverages advanced cryptographic proofs and on-chain verification to ensure that tokens are locked on the source chain before being minted or released on the destination chain. This minimizes risks such as double-spending or unauthorized access.

Moreover, ZenBridge offers real-time transaction tracking, enabling users to monitor their transfer status at every stage. The system is optimized for speed and low costs, making it ideal for everyday DeFi users, traders, and developers building cross-chain applications.

As the blockchain ecosystem continues to embrace multi-chain interoperability, ZenBridge positions itself as a critical tool for connecting Zenchain with the wider EVM ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities for liquidity, decentralized finance, and innovation across chains.

Preparation Guide

To get started you will need to get the INativeStaking.sol code or file from zenchain’s code repository,which is located here — https://github.com/zenchain-protocol/precompile-interfaces/blob/main/INativeStaking.sol.

After copying the code or downloading the file locally to your device,You have two options to import your code:

• 🔹 Copy & Paste Method: If you copied the code from a webpage, click "New File" in RemixIDE and paste the code into the editor.

• 🔹 Download & Upload Method: If you downloaded the code as a raw file, click "Open Files" in RemixIDE and select the downloaded file from your computer.

When you have the code on your remix terminal go to Solidity Compiler tab, and expand Advanced Configuration, next select EVM Version — shanghai. And click “Compile INativeStaking.sol” button for compile contract.

Now, navigate to the Deploy & Run Transactions section. Under Environment, choose Injected Provider — MetaMask. Make sure that MetaMask is connected to the Zenchain testnet — this will be confirmed in RemixIDE by displaying Custom (8408) network.

If the Account field is empty, go to the Environment dropdown and select WalletConnect. Then click the Connect Wallet button and choose MetaMask from the available wallet options.

If MetaMask prompts you to switch to another network, decline the request as this may occasionally occur. In the Account field you can see your wallet address.

Next, enter the contract address 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000800 in the field beside the At Address button, then click the button. You should now see the contract's methods listed under the Deployed Contracts section below.

You will notice a window will pop up under the deployed contract section

STAKING PROCESS
According to the Zenchain staking documentation, you'll need to use two key methods: bondWithRewardDestination and bondExtra.

Start by calling bondWithRewardDestination. Here, you’ll specify the number of ZCX tokens you want to stake and indicate where the rewards should be sent using the value and dest parameters. For example, if you're staking 1,000 ZCX and want the rewards to be added back to your stake, set dest to 0.

Note that the value must be multiplied by 10000000000000000000 (since integer values ​​are used to describe floating point numbers).

The values in this scenario are:
bondWithRewardDestination
value: 1000000000000000000000
dest: 0

Click the “transact” button and after that you will need to confirm the transaction in MetaMask.

We can also call bondExtra to add tokens to the stake (the amount is specified the same as in the previous example). After confirmation, the amount in the stake will be increased.

Activate staking

Using activate-your-stake for reference, you need to call either validate (if you are a validator) or nominate (if you want to support any validators).

For validators
If you're acting as a validator, the validate method allows you to set your commission rate as a percentage (multiplied by 10,000,000). For instance, a 10% commission would be represented as 100000000. You can also set the blocked parameter, which determines whether new nominations are allowed. For example:

validate
commission: 100000000
blocked: false

For nominators
If you're not a validator, use the nominate method instead. This method requires only one parameter: the wallet addresses of the validators you want to delegate your tokens to. Keep in mind that each time you call this method, it will replace the previously set values. You can delegate to up to 16 validators at once.

nominate
targets: ["0x6D5....B459", "0x6D5....B459"]

You can get the validators’ addresses from the documentation: nominate(["0x46A148316EBA94539642f3fD6908dcAB10994D1A", "0x10e4f95a5655b932A724eaDea4766eb6671d0cA5"])*.Alternatively, you can copy the addresses from an API query to Zentrace: https://zentrace.io/api/v2/blocks?type=block%20%7C%20uncle%20%7C%20reorg, and retrieve the *miner.hash values for the latest blocks.

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain infrastructure, Sei and ZenChain represent two ambitious Layer 1 protocols with distinct visions. Sei is engineered for high-speed trading, boasting sub-400ms finality and up to 200,000 transactions per second through its Twin-Turbo consensus mechanism.
However, when it comes to building a holistic ecosystem for DeFi and GameFi, ZenChain takes a more versatile and future-proof approach.

Why ZenChain Stands Out

• Bitcoin-anchored security: ZenChain leverages Bitcoin’s proven security model while supporting Ethereum-compatible smart contracts—offering the best of both worlds.

• AI-powered threat detection: Unlike Sei, ZenChain integrates machine learning to proactively identify and mitigate risks, a game-changer for GameFi platforms vulnerable to exploits.

• Forkless upgrades: ZenChain evolves without disruptive hard forks, ensuring smoother transitions for developers and users.

• zBTC utility: ZenChain’s tokenized Bitcoin (zBTC) enables seamless DeFi transactions with Bitcoin liquidity, something Sei doesn’t natively support.

• Developer-first incentives: ZenChain ties builder rewards to Bitcoin’s growth, aligning long-term incentives with the most trusted crypto asset.

  Zenchain vs Sei Blockchains: What Sets It Apart.

Final Thoughts

In the race to power next-generation decentralized applications, both Sei and ZenChain bring unique strengths to the table. Sei shines with unmatched speed and trading efficiency, but ZenChain rises as a future-ready platform built for true innovation across DeFi and GameFi. By weaving together Bitcoin’s security, Ethereum's smart contract agility, and AI-driven protection, ZenChain offers builders and users a robust, evolving ecosystem where creativity meets stability. As blockchain continues to reshape digital experiences, ZenChain isn’t just keeping pace—it’s leading the charge.
