Threshold BLS Signature for Decentralized Asset Control
TL;DR: ZetaChain is pioneering the use of Threshold BLS (tBLS) signatures to unlock orders of magnitude of speedup and scalability in cross-chain transaction throughput. This approach replaces complex, low-throughput threshold ECDSA with a faster, simpler, and non-interactive alternative — making cross-chain apps vastly more efficient. Dive deeper into this ZetaChain improvement proposal (ZIP) for Threshold BLS.
Concentrated Liquidity Pools in ZetaChain v3: Mechanics, Usage, and Benefits
ZetaChain’s gas pools (aka core pools) are a special category of liquidity pools used by the protocol to facilitate cross-chain transactions. Concentrated (v3) Liquidity Pools, on the other hand, are about maximizing capital efficiency for trading and swaps.The two types complement each other: gas pools unify gas liquidity for cross-chain execution, and concentrated pools unify trading liquidity for user-facing swap markets.
ZetaChain’s New Revert Handling for Cross-Chain
ZetaChain’s new onAbort mechanism prevents stuck assets in cross-chain transactions. With onRevert for rollbacks and onAbort as a failsafe, every transaction is either executed or accounted for — ensuring seamless failure recovery without manual intervention.
Introduction to Universal Apps on ZetaChain
ZetaChain is an EVM-compatible blockchain with built-in cross-chain interoperability. A smart contract deployed on ZetaChain can handle incoming contract calls from any connected blockchain like Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB, Solana and Bitcoin.
Do we really need Bitcoin L2s?
Regardless of Bitcoin L2 technical limitations, we think the industry should prioritize native BTC programmability and interoperability with assets and users from other chains.
Introducing Localnet & Devnet: Build Universal Apps faster with the newest features!
The new ZetaChain networks significantly enhance the Universal App development experience. A small group of active developers may apply here for early Devnet access.
Building cross-chain DEX, Restaking, BTC staking as an Omnichain Smart Contract on ZetaChain
This blog explores deploying prominent crypto protocols as an Omnichain Smart Contract on ZetaChain. The mentioned products involve many functions, which are subject to change. Further, changes and upgrades to the ZetaChain protocol are required to achieve such functionality.
