2022 was the year ZetaChain set out to realize a new standard for blockchain interoperability. Namely, a public blockchain with Omnichain Smart Contracts support, which can access and manage assets and data on any chain — even non-smart capable chains like Bitcoin — without using bridges or wrapped tokens.
For developers, this means one place to build a dApp that works everywhere; for users, this means one wallet to experience all of crypto as if everything were on a single chain. Understandably, these whitepaper concepts at the start of the year were met with disbelief. But as the year progressed, the world saw these seemingly far-fetched notions become reality. In addition to achieving all major tech milestones, ZetaChain amassed one of the largest communities in web3.
As we approach the highly anticipated launch of ZetaChain Mainnet, we look back and reflect on how far we’ve come. Without further ado, here's a look at our top achievements of the year!
