Dear @zetablockchain ZetaChain: Breaking down blockchain barriers to achieve seamless cross-chain communication. In simple terms, ZetaChain is a bridge that allows information to be seamlessly transmitted between blockchains, solving one of the most challenging issues in our current blockchain world: cross-chain communication. In the past few years, there have been many attempts at similar cross-chain protocols. For example, the well-known BTCRelay allows Bitcoin transactions to be verified on Ethereum. In principle, it deploys a lightweight client on Ethereum to read the Bitcoin blockchain and verify transactions. Although this method enables "dialogue" between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the problem is that it is not only resource-intensive but also vulnerable to 51% attacks. This means that if the Bitcoin network's hash power is attacked, this cross-chain method could potentially fail. Lightweight Cross-Chain: ZetaChain's Breakthrough So, how does ZetaChain achieve this? Its core idea is "lightweight" and "trustless." In traditional cross-chain protocols, verification and trust often rely on a single third party, such as a guardian or validator. ZetaChain, however, avoids the trust vulnerabilities of traditional models by designing a more decentralized approach. It introduces a "consensus bridge" that allows different blockchains to communicate without the need for trust endorsements. In other words, ZetaChain does not rely on any centralized intermediaries; all verification processes are based on the blockchain's consensus mechanism. The benefit of this approach is higher security and relatively lower costs. As we all know, cross-chain operations usually incur significant gas fees, but ZetaChain has optimized its technology to reduce these costs, achieving more efficient cross-chain transmission. How does ZetaChain work? When a transaction is completed on Blockchain A, and you want to perform a corresponding operation on Blockchain B, the traditional method may require you to trust a third party or wait for a long verification time. ZetaChain, on the other hand, completes this process quickly and securely through its consensus mechanism. Specifically, ZetaChain's cross-chain communication is achieved through "message passing." In this regard, it uses protocols like LayerZero to enable efficient message and data transmission between Blockchain A and Blockchain B. Most importantly, ZetaChain supports not just simple asset transfers during cross-chain operations, but also the interoperability of smart contracts and DApps. @Galxe #Starboard
