Layer 1 blockchain and interoperability platform ZetaChain (ZETA) announced that Animoca Brands, a company dedicated to advancing digital property rights in gaming and the open metaverse, has joined its network as a validator. 

Animoca Brands focuses on advancing digital property rights and supporting decentralized projects to contribute to the development of the open metaverse. The company has been running validator nodes across multiple blockchains, fostering ecosystem growth and ensuring impartial on-chain governance.

The partnership between Animoca Brands, known for its expertise in securing blockchain networks, and ZetaChain, with its proprietary ZRC-20 token standard for Omnichain Smart Contracts, aims to create a more secure and trustless environment. This collaboration will support the development of omnichain decentralized applications (dApps) that can handle native assets and data across multiple blockchains, eliminating the need for users to switch networks.

As part of the partnership, ZetaChain will provide Animoca Brands’ portfolio companies with access to over 3.5 million wallets on the ZetaChain network. Additionally, Animoca Brands will benefit from the ZetaChain Ecosystem Growth Program, which allocates 5% of the total ZETA token supply to support the development of impactful universal applications.

ZetaChain: What Is It And How It Functions?

ZetaChain is a Layer 1 blockchain that provides cross-chain interoperability through its omnichain contracts. It employs the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint consensus mechanism, allowing developers to create tailored, scalable, and interoperable blockchains.

It has recently launched its 2.0 upgrade, featuring the Universal Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and centered around its Chain Abstraction Framework (CAF). This update aims to streamline multi-chain interoperability for developers and supports various use cases for integrated liquidity and data by leveraging CAF. 

The Universal EVM facilitates the development of Universal applications and supports Universal Proof-of-Stake (PoS), allowing for more efficient management of complex interactions, applications, and assets across different blockchains from a single platform.
