Upgrades to Universal Apps

Zetachain 2.0

"Deploy apps that work for every crypto user"

ZetaChain’s mission is to serve as a platform for universal access, simplicity, and utility across any blockchain. Today we’re excited to introduce Gateway and Localnet, which greatly improve DevX for Universal Apps — single smart contracts on ZetaChain’s EVM that are natively connected to any other blockchain. Gateway plays a significant role in the active ZetaChain 2.0 upgrades.

➡️ Apps on the Universal EVM (Universal Apps) can both natively access and be accessed from any connected chain without requiring users to switch networks. They use the ZRC-20 token standard to permissionlessly withdraw tokens to connected chains as native assets.

➡️ The hub-and-spoke model offered by Universal Apps lets you manage native foreign assets and data from a single place. Rather, point-to-point messaging between contracts on different chains is complex, difficult to scale, and cannot extend to non-smart chains such as Bitcoin.

➡️ The complete smart contract interface revamp with Gateway enables externally-owned accounts (EOAs) and apps on connected chains to efficiently call Universal Apps, send tokens, and handle gas queries through a unified API.

➡️ Gateway unlocks complex multi-step operations e.g. send BTC from Bitcoin to Universal App on ZetaChain, lock in a vault, provision USDC, then swap USDC for another token on Ethereum — in one click.

➡️ The new localnet environment enables rapid contract deployment and interaction with almost instant transaction finalization and feedback as if operating on a single chain.
