ZetaChain Votes to Shut Down Its Own Layer 1 Network, ZETA Token to Migrate to Solana

ZetaChain's community has voted to shut down its own Layer 1 network and migrate the ZETA token to Solana, with the team shifting its focus to the private AI application Anuma. The migration still requires another vote to be finalized.

ZetaChain Votes to Shut Down Its Own Layer 1 Network, ZETA Token to Migrate to Solana

A blockchain voting to shut itself down—that's the outcome of ZetaChain's latest governance vote. The community has passed a proposal to shut down ZetaChain's Layer 1 network and migrate its native token ZETA to the Solana chain.

For a Layer 1 project that originally built its brand around cross-chain interoperability, abandoning its own chain to pivot toward the Solana ecosystem marks a pretty drastic change in direction. The team says its focus going forward will be on Anuma, an AI application centered on privacy features.

That said, the migration isn't fully locked in yet. According to The Block, another vote will need to pass before ZETA's move to Solana can actually go into effect.

No further details have been released yet regarding Anuma's specific features, the migration timeline, or when the next vote will take place.
