Aniomca Brands has joined ZetaChain as a validator on its platform to enhance multi-chain connectivity and the adoption of digital assets.

ZetaChain, the first universal blockchain, will leverage Animoca's expertise in securing blockchain networks. Portfolio companies under Animoca will have access to over 3.5 million unique wallets on ZetaChain's platform, as well as support from its Ecosystem Growth Program.

The collaboration will also support the development of decentralized applications (dApps) that can operate across multiple blockchains without requiring users to switch networks.

Recent upgrades on ZetaChain, such as its 2.0 update and Universal EVM, simplify interoperability and enable developers to create applications that work seamlessly across different chains. Its partnership with Animoca is expected to accelerate the adoption of these technologies.

Ankur Nandwani, Core Contributor of ZetaChain, expressed excitement about working with Animoca Brands' 540 Web3 companies, which "now have the opportunity to leverage ZetaChain to future-proof their apps and access users on any chain including native Bitcoin.”

ZetaChain is one of the top ten blockchains, as measured by active users. Its Chain Abstraction Framework (CAF), which was proposed and developed by the decentralized ZetaChain community, simplifies multi-chain interoperability for developers and unlocks a multitude of prospective use cases for unified liquidity and data.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said the collaboration "furthers our mission to drive innovation and decentralization across the broader Web3 ecosystem.”
