ZetaChain is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to connect other networks rather than sit apart from them. It is EVM-compatible and proof-of-stake, so Ethereum-style wallets and Solidity contracts work on it. Its main selling point is omnichain smart contracts: an app on ZetaChain can send messages and move assets across chains, including Bitcoin, which has no smart contracts of its own.
The native token is ZETA. It is used to pay network fees, to stake with validators, and in governance. Fees are paid in ZETA, so you need a small balance to do anything on the chain. Zetahub, the official portal, covers claiming, swapping, bridging, staking and voting in one place.
The ecosystem is small. DeFi TVL was about $278,079 at the time of writing, and many apps on our list, such as Gate, SushiSwap and Symbiosis, are multi-chain products rather than ZetaChain natives. Native and ZetaChain-linked projects include the DEXes iZiSwap, AbstraDEX and Omnidrome, the liquidity manager Skate Fi, the lenders Accumulated Finance Lending and AImstrong, the liquid staking protocol Zearn Protocol, the naming service ZNS Connect, and the memecoin Calories Cash. Expect thin liquidity and early-stage risk on many of them.

Blockchain
Blockchain Examples and How They WorkLearn how blockchains record and verify transactions, how consensus keeps a shared ledger in sync, and how Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks put the technology to work. See practical examples, key trade-offs and ways to assess whether a blockchain is a good fit.

Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.

How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.

Zetachain FAQs
What is ZetaChain?
ZetaChain is a Layer-1 blockchain built for omnichain interoperability. It lets smart contracts and messages work across different networks, including chains like Bitcoin that have no smart contracts of their own. It is EVM-compatible, so Ethereum-style tooling works on it.
What is the ZETA token used for?
ZETA is the native token. It is used for network fees and staking, and it is tied to governance of the chain. Liquid staking options such as Zearn Protocol, which issues stZETA, build on top of it.
Is ZetaChain EVM-compatible?
Yes. ZetaChain is EVM-compatible, so Solidity contracts and common Ethereum wallets and developer tools generally work. Its distinguishing feature is cross-chain messaging, which goes beyond what a typical EVM chain offers.
How much value is locked in ZetaChain DeFi?
The DeFi TVL on ZetaChain is small, at about $278,079 at the time of writing. Most listed apps here are multi-chain, and many have little or no liquidity on ZetaChain itself. Check each app's ZetaChain pool depth before using it.
Which dApps can I use on ZetaChain?
Our list includes iZiSwap, AbstraDEX and Omnidrome for swapping, Skate Fi for liquidity management, Accumulated Finance Lending and AImstrong for lending, and Zearn Protocol for staking. Zetahub is the official portal for claiming, swapping, bridging, staking and voting. Liquidity varies a lot between them.
Is it risky to use ZetaChain dApps?
Many of the apps are small, early-stage or thinly funded, and some carry smart-contract and bridge risks. Cross-chain activity adds more points of failure than staying on one network. Use only what you can afford to lose, start with small amounts, and keep your own wallet secure.
What is the largest dApp on Zetachain by TVL?
Gate is the largest dApp on Zetachain by total value locked, with $5.84B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by Bedrock uniBTC ($326M) and Gate US ($54.0M). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
