At ZetaChain, our mission is to build a Universal Blockchain with native access to any blockchain, making crypto as accessible, diverse, and connected as the internet. Through ZetaChain’s Gateway, users can interact with any blockchain from a single interface, including native Bitcoin, eliminating the complexities of multichain transactions.

Introducing Gateway: Universal App Season One

Universal App Season One runs from February 18th to March 17th, distributing up to 40,000 ZETA rewards (10,000 ZETA weekly) to users who try out apps built on ZetaChain’s Gateway. Over this time period, new Universal App Instant Rewards will be featured, showcasing seamless cross-chain experiences powered by ZetaChain!

Get started

Each app has their own incentives and community campaigns. Instant Reward launches are designed to boost apps and help users get started. Instant rewards launch on a rolling basis. Stay tuned on ZetaHub for new rewards and refills weekly.

Get started in ZetaHub by joining the campaign here!

App 1: Burn your memes for BTC with Dust.fun!

Dust.fun lets users consolidate leftover ‘dust’ tokens into a single, valuable asset — converting tiny holdings into meaningful crypto (like BTC or USDC). With ZetaChain’s Gateway, Dust.fun enables seamless cross-chain swaps in just one transaction enabling you to swap dust from and to multiple chains.

Check out the Dust.fun app tutorial, and learn about their latest incentives and community campaigns.

App 2: Universal AI Gaming with Upcade!

Upcade is an AI-driven gaming hub where players can engage in cross-chain mini-games like Pepenade Crush. With ZetaChain’s Gateway, Upcade ensures scores and assets are recorded across all chains, eliminating fragmentation and providing a smooth, chain-agnostic gaming experience.

Check out the Pepenade Crush app tutorial (upcade.notion.site/pepenadecrush), and learn about their latest incentives and community campaigns.

App 3: Convince the AI with Pitch Lucy!

Pitchlucy.ai is an AI-powered game where users pitch their token ideas to AI investor ‘Lucy’. If she’s convinced, Lucy will buy the token on any supported chain and reward the winning user with a finder’s fee — all powered by ZetaChain’s Gateway for seamless, cross-chain transactions.

Check out the Pitch Lucy app tutorial, and learn more about their latest project incentives and community campaigns.

App 4: Universal Yield Hunter with Amana!

Amana simplifies cross-chain yield farming, letting users deposit assets on one chain and automatically optimize returns across multiple networks. With ZetaChain’s Gateway, users can farm yield without bridging hassles — assets move across chains in a single step. For example, a Universal App on ZetaChain can move ETH from Ethereum into a lending protocol on Base on behalf of the user. Rewards can then be redeployed to high-yield apps on Binance or withdrawn seamlessly back to ZetaChain.

Check out the Amana app tutorial (coming soon), and learn more about their latest project incentives and community campaigns.

Universal App Season One is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more campaigns, rewards, and cutting edge apps leveraging ZetaChain’s Universal Connectivity.
