Bringing ZETA and Private AI to Solana

TL;DR: We are proposing to bring ZETA to Solana, and with it Anuma: a private multi-model AI app with 300,000 users, one memory across every model, and a new beta feature for real-life social discovery. ZETA would become a native SPL token, 1:1 and under the same ticker. The proposal is on ZetaHub. Voting opens Sept 17 and runs 72 hours. Nothing moves before ZETA holders vote. Anuma is live today. Try it.

AI is getting personal. It knows your health, your relationships, and your plans, and today that knowledge belongs to whichever model provider you use. We think it should belong to you and reach a model only when you decide.

We started ZetaChain in 2021 to connect chains. This year we found our product, the Private Memory Layer: one encrypted memory that follows you across every AI model, app, and agent, with your wallet holding the keys and each model seeing only what you allow.

The layer powers Anuma, our private AI app. More than 300,000 people have joined since February, it has passed a million requests across 35 models, and thousands more sign up every day. Live numbers are at zetachain.com/research.

We have run the Private Memory Layer in production since February and are building the application layer on top of it. Solana is where the rest of the AI stack is being assembled, so we are proposing to move there, where any AI app or agent can build on it.

Why Solana

Solana is assembling the stack private AI needs.

Compute and models are opening up in what Solana calls open intelligence. Agents can prove who they are through the Agent Registry and pay for what they use through x402, where Solana carries most of the traffic: more than 20 million payments since July.

What Solana's AI stack still lacks is the application layer: an app people use every day, with memory that belongs to them and travels across models, apps, and agents.

That application layer belongs on Solana because the network is built for agent scale. Memory reads, agent calls, and metered inference need sub-second, sub-cent settlement, and Solana delivers it today, with confirmations in about 400 milliseconds and a median fee of about a tenth of a cent. In tests it has handled more than 100,000 transactions per second, which will let agents transact at machine speed.

It also has one of the deepest consumer crypto ecosystems anywhere, with seven straight quarters as the top chain for DEX volume and more than $15 billion in stablecoins, so agents can pay in the money people already use.

Every Anuma account is a wallet, so migration brings more than 300,000 users onto Solana on day one.

Private by default, today

Private memory protects what AI remembers about you. Private mode limits what a model sees.

Anuma challenges the status quo where every prompt, your whole chat history, and your personal context go straight to the model provider. The app sends only the context a request needs. A closed model provider never gets your memory or full history, identifiers can be redacted before a prompt leaves the app, and private mode routes to open models on zero-retention infrastructure. Nothing is logged or trained on.

This matters more as agents get more capable. An agent acting for you may need your preferences, relationships, finances, or messages, and it should use them without handing every model or service permanent access to everything it knows about you.

The newest Anuma feature, now in beta, extends private AI to real-life social discovery: finding people around you worth meeting.

ZETA on Solana

The role of ZETA

ZETA is the token behind Anuma, and on Solana it becomes the token behind the whole application layer. In Anuma this already works through credits. Lock ZETA, receive credits, and spend them on AI usage. Locked ZETA comes out of circulating supply. As more AI apps and agents on Solana plug into the same layer, ZETA becomes the common access token across them. The move also changes the size of the world ZETA lives in, with DEXs that clear around $70 billion a month and payment rails built for agents.

The economic opportunity

The opportunity is a bigger role for ZETA: an ecosystem with more applications, more users, and more AI activity, where ZETA is what people lock to use it.

More applications bring more users. More users bring more AI activity. More AI activity brings more ZETA utility, and that brings more applications.

We will focus on three things:

1. Grow Anuma. A consumer AI product people keep using, built around memory, multi-model AI, and social discovery.

2. Open the application layer. Let other AI apps and agents on Solana build on it, so ZETA is used beyond a single product.

3. Build the Solana AI ecosystem. Work with the developers and partners building AI on Solana, and make the application layer and ZETA useful in their products.

Products people actually use come first, with ZETA demand growing alongside that usage.

For ZETA Holders

Most holders should not need to do anything.

What stays

• The ZETA ticker and a 1:1 conversion, with total supply unchanged and no new tokens

• Vesting schedules, on their original dates

• Your balance, including locked and staked positions and Anuma credits in the Token Dashboard

• ZETA on Ethereum and BSC, which this proposal does not touch

• Anuma, the memory layer, and your privacy: memory stays encrypted with keys you hold, and conversations are not logged or trained on

What changes

• The chain ZETA runs on: Solana instead of our own L1

• The token standard: a native SPL token

• Validators: Solana's, not a set we run

• The ecosystem around ZETA: Solana's DEXs, wallets, and agent payment rails

• Our focus: every contributor hour goes to ZETA, Anuma, and building on Solana

Holder protections are written into the formal proposal. Exchange conversions depend on each exchange confirming the swap, and the list of participating exchanges will be published before anything moves. What staking becomes on Solana, including how staking rewards transition, is under active exploration, and the proposal will specify the mechanism.

What Happens Next

FAQ

Does this change what I hold? No. You receive the same amount of ZETA on Solana, 1:1. Total supply is unchanged, no new tokens are created, and vesting schedules keep their original dates.

When would the migration happen? There is no date yet. Voting runs Sept 17 to 20. After that, timing depends on exchanges confirming the swap, and the formal proposal will carry the dates. Nothing moves before it passes.

What happens to the ZetaChain network, and why not just bridge? If the vote passes, the ZetaChain L1 winds down once holders have moved. Until then, validators keep validating and staking keeps working. A bridge would not work: a wrapped token needs the original locked on a chain that will no longer exist. Instead, a native SPL token becomes the only ZETA, and the proposal will define how balances move.

What if the vote fails? ZetaChain continues as an independent L1 and nothing about the token changes.

About ZetaChain

ZetaChain is building the application layer for private AI: user-controlled memory, identity, permissions, and payments that work across AI models, apps, and agents. Its first consumer product is Anuma, a private multi-model AI app with one memory across every model, joined by more than 300,000 people since February. The next phase is bringing that application layer to Solana and opening it to a broader ecosystem of AI apps and agents.
