ZetaChain

ZetaChain is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to let developers build applications that work across multiple blockchains simultaneously rather than being confined to a single chain. It addresses the problem of fragmentation in Web3, where assets and users are siloed across separate networks, making cross-chain interaction cumbersome. More recently the project has extended this interoperability concept toward AI, aiming to let applications route across different AI model providers while keeping user data encrypted and portable.

ZetaChain operates as an independent Layer 1 that maintains native connections to external chains, including networks in the Ethereum and BNB Chain ecosystems, allowing it to read from and write to those chains without relying solely on external bridges. The ZETA token functions as the gas asset used to pay for execution and settlement within the network, and it also serves as the medium through which cross-chain value transfers are coordinated. The block time reported in the data is zero minutes, meaning detailed consensus parameters are not available in the stored record.

ZetaChain collected 0.01 USD in fees over the most recent 24-hour period, 0.86 USD over the trailing 7 days, and 56.93 USD over the trailing 30 days, with trailing 12-month fees of 33,870.34 USD. Fees have declined 99.57 percent over the last 30 days, and when the 30-day figure is annualized it projects to approximately 692.65 USD per year. These fees are paid by users executing transactions on the network; at current levels the fee yield — annualized fees as a percentage of market capitalization — stands at 0.001311 percent, meaning the protocol's fee revenue is negligible relative to its market capitalization.
