ZetaChain has chosen to use the chain itself as the center of Omnichain, enabling chain-wide interoperability through inter-chain messaging and confirmations, and as a public chain that can deploy the Omnichain DApp and utilize the high-speed chain to invoke any chain that supports on-chain asset liquidity.
Web3’s narrative of “cross-chain” has transitioned from “bridges” to “interoperability”, and while bridges still have a need and value, the market’s focus has shifted to Omnichain, which is essentially a cross-chain but uses messaging to abstract the chain itself so that users can use any DApp on the chain without having to be aware of the chain, as opposed to bridges that are purely an asset cross-chain.The ZetaChain we’re talking about today offers a completely different way of thinking: on the one hand, ZetaChain uses the chain as an “intermediary” for inter-chain messaging and confirmation, which is naturally better in terms of security compared to facilities such as prophecy machines and repeaters; on the other hand, as a public chain, the Omnichain DApp can be deployed directly on ZetaChain, and utilize this high-speed chain, which was developed using the Cosmos SDK, to call for liquidity of the assets on any of ZetaChain’s support chains.
