About ZetaChain
ZetaChain is a Proof of Stake Layer 1 blockchain built on Cosmos SDK and Tendermint consensus that enables native cross-chain smart contract functionality across multiple blockchain networks. The platform allows developers to deploy Universal Apps that can read from and write to any connected blockchain, including non-smart contract chains like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, through its omnichain smart contracts architecture. ZetaChain uses a distributed network of validators, observers, and signers with Threshold Signature Scheme technology to facilitate secure cross-chain transactions without requiring bridges or wrapped tokens.
