TL;DR Coinbase Onramp enables near-instant fiat‑to‑ZETA access in 100 + countries. Now live in ZetaHub and any Universal App. Developers can embed seamless wallet funding with just a few lines of code — making the Universal Blockchain one click away for everyone.

At ZetaChain, our mission is to build a Universal Blockchain with native access to any blockchain, making crypto as accessible, diverse, and connected as the internet. Today, ZETA and the Universal Blockchain are more accessible than ever with Coinbase Onramp now live in ZetaHub and other ecosystem apps. This integration expands our growing collaboration with Coinbase, which already includes Learning Rewards (over 700,000 participants) and Base support for Universal Apps.

Grow users with Coinbase Onramp in your Universal App

Moving from dollars to crypto remains a major hurdle for millions of users. Coinbase Onramp solves this with a simple widget that supports card, bank transfer, and other payment methods across Coinbase-supported regions. For Universal App developers, this means:

  • Eliminate the cold‑start problem — First-time users can land in your app, buy ZETA instantly, and start interacting.

  • Web2 UI, Web3 Universal access — Coinbase handles KYC, compliance, and fiat payments; ZetaChain powers cross‑chain execution with its Universal EVM — including native access to the Bitcoin network.

  • One contract, all chains, now all fiat — Deploy your Universal App once to access all major chains and the world’s largest fiat gateway in a single integration.

Universal Apps live today with Coinbase Onramp

More than 300+ apps in the ZetaChain ecosystem can take advantage of Coinbase Onramp to access Web2 users without friction.

ZetaHub — 250 000+ users, now one click from fiat to ZETA

ZetaHub is the homebase of the Universal Blockchain with fundamental functions like send, governance, staking, XP quests, and a brand‑new trade tab. Integrating the Coinbase Onramp widget inside the new Trade page means users can go from fiat to ZETA without needing to jump to a centralized exchange. The result is a much smoother entry point for newcomers exploring Universal Apps.

Pitch Lucy — Let users interact with Web3 AI agents without crypto experience

Pitch Lucy turns portfolio management into a conversation with an AI agent. Prompts cost ZETA, so drop‑offs can happen when new users hit the paywall. With Coinbase Onramp, the Lucy app offers a Buy ZETA widget so users can use a card, Apple Pay, or ACH to credit their wallet and continue pitching the AI. Over 50,000 unique wallets tried Lucy last month, according to DappRadar, and the Pitch Lucy team expects an increase in prompt conversion post-integration.

Beam DEX — Native cross‑chain swaps that start with fiat

Beam lets anyone swap assets natively across chains (even from or to Bitcoin) without wrapping or bridging. By embedding Onramp, Beam opens up access to non-native crypto users, letting them acquire ZETA with fiat and make their first cross‑chain swap in the same tab.

Burnt Game — Web3 game‑theory experiment with no crypto required

Burnt.gg is half social experiment, half adrenaline rush: mint $BURNT token and try to acquire 5% of the total supply to claim the growing prize pool. For lots of gamers, they’ve never opened a crypto wallet. Coinbase Onramp solves this by letting new gamer audiences and spectators mint their first $BURNT using the same card they use for online games and streaming subscriptions. Every new player means a bigger vault!

Random Meme — Swipe a card, own a basket of memecoins

Random Meme autogenerates a diversified meme‑coin portfolio across chains. Users pick a dollar amount, and the contract buys the tokens for them. Onramp and ZetaChain remove the last UX hurdle: one checkout covers fiat deposit, ZETA purchase, and the Universal Blockchain powers the multichain meme portfolio multi‑chain execution in one click.
