ZetaChain is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain, built on Tendermint Consensus and Cosmos SDK for interoperability with other Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains. ZetaChain uses a Proof of Stake (POS) consensus mechanism to allow transactions to be verified using trust-minimized properties – a term for a system that operates without requiring the trust of third-party.

ZetaChain’s Omnichain multi-chain interoperability technology not only supports EVM blockchains but also allows transactions on blockchains that do not support smart contracts such as Bitcoin or Dogecoin.

This partnership, in the future, is expected to attract trading volume to Curve; providing a new type of collateral for crvUSD, Bitcoin; and provide a more seamless trading environment in the cryptocurrency space.

Upcoming plans include deploying Curve to ZetaChain’s mainnet, however, there is currently no specific timeline for this process. Both projects will then propose rewards to contributors and apply a growth mechanism to the partnership.
