ZetaChain is a unique blockchain that supports smart contracts and can connect with various blockchains, including those with smart contracts like Ethereum, Solana, and even those without like Bitcoin and Litecoin.

Description
Here's how it works:
-
Omnichain Support: ZetaChain can work with many different blockchains, whether they use smart contracts or not.
-
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Blockchain: It uses a PoS system, which is a way to secure the blockchain and validate transactions.
-
Observers and Signers:
-
Observers: They scan other blockchains for important events and transactions and agree on what they see on the ZetaChain blockchain.
-
Signers: They hold a special key that lets them send authenticated messages and handle assets on other blockchains. They use a Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) for this.
-
-
Smart Contract Functionality: Smart contracts on ZetaChain can execute actions based on events happening on external blockchains. They can also update states on other blockchains using TSS signed transactions.
-
Direct Interactions with Different Blockchains: ZetaChain allows decentralized apps (dApps) to interact with various blockchains directly. This means there's no need for wrapping or bridging assets.
In summary, ZetaChain offers a way for dApps to seamlessly interact with multiple blockchains, enhancing their functionality and connectivity without the need for complex bridging solutions.
