ZetaChain will shut down its Layer 1 blockchain network and migrate to Solana after receiving almost unanimous approval in a governance vote.

 

The governance portal for the vote, which closed on Sunday at 14:58:18 UTC, recorded 99.4% of token holders voting in favour, while 0.3% each voted in opposition and abstained. Participation stood at 58%, exceeding the 40% quorum.

 

 

Stating the reasons for the ZetaChain to Solana migration, the team, in a recent blog post, gave a number of reasons, including the privacy features of the Solana blockchain and the infrastructure that Solana has been building for private AI.

 

According to the ZetaChain team, the subsecond and subcent finality features of the Solana blockchain, including its transaction confirmation time of 400 milliseconds and its one tenth of a cent fee, make it possible for AI agents to perform at scale.

 

In a test, the team claimed that the Solana blockchain handled more than 100,000 transactions per second, a result the team says is ideal for agents that are being built to execute transactions at machine speed.

 

Following the completion of a second governance proposal and the subsequent migration to the Solana network, the native ZETA token will be converted 1:1 to the Solana SPL ZETA, which will continue to be used to access Anuma, ZetaChain’s privacy AI platform.

 

About ZetaChain

 

Founded in 2021, ZetaChain is a Layer 1 blockchain network that was built to serve as an interoperability layer that connects blockchains without the need for traditional bridges.

 

Prior to its migration plans, the ZetaChain team had raised $27 million and processed hundreds of millions of transactions while onboarding millions of users and wallets.

 

However, the team made a strategic shift to AI this year with its first consumer multimodal AI app, which lets users carry one encrypted, user-controlled memory across dozens of AI models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok.

 

With accessibility tied to the ZETA token, Anuma has grown to more than 300,000 users since its launch in February.
