At ZetaChain, our mission is to power Universal Apps that span all chains from native Bitcoin and Ethereum to Cosmos, Solana and beyond. Today, we’re excited to announce Animoca Brands, the company advancing digital property rights for gaming and the open metaverse, pledges to secure the universal blockchain.

540 web3 companies can now build on the Universal EVM

With this collaboration, over 540 Web3 companies in the Animoca Brands portfolio now have the opportunity to leverage ZetaChain to future-proof their apps and access users on any chain including native Bitcoin. We’re excited to support Animoca Brands companies through grants, incentives, and community campaigns for cutting-edge products and infrastructure built on ZetaChain’s Universal EVM, with a particular focus on growing ownership, usage, and adoption of Bitcoin.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented:

“We are excited to partner with ZetaChain and become a validator of this first universal blockchain, helping make multi-chain connectivity more seamless. This collaboration furthers our mission to drive innovation and decentralization across the broader Web3 ecosystem.”

Addressing Crypto Fragmentation

The collaboration between Animoca Brands and ZetaChain marks a significant stride towards solving crypto fragmentation. Together, we are accelerating the development of Universal Apps that allow for seamless management of native assets and data across multiple blockchains, eliminating the need for users to switch networks. By addressing the fragmentation issue, we aim to make Web3 applications more accessible, intuitive, and secure for the next wave of users, removing the barriers that currently hinder broader adoption.
