Japan’s largest telecommunications company partners with ZetaChain to advance Web3 adoption and support of Universal Apps that span all blockchains.

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. Today, we are excited to welcome one of the world’s most influential telecom giants NTT Digital to the ZetaChain ecosystem as a validator. With this partnership, NTT Digital, part of the global NTT DOCOMO Group and a Fortune 500 company, strengthens ZetaChain’s position as the Layer 1 blockchain of choice for seamless cross-chain connectivity and Universal Apps.

NTT Digital is now a ZetaChain validator

NTT Digital now operates a validator on ZetaChain, enhancing the network’s decentralization, security, and scalability to support developers building Universal Apps — applications that natively span multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

“At NTT Digital, we are dedicated to enabling Web3 innovation and empowering developers to create interoperable applications that redefine user experiences,” said Naoki Tani, Managing Director at NTT Digital. “Becoming a ZetaChain validator allows us to actively support a secure and scalable blockchain infrastructure while contributing to the vision of a unified and interconnected digital future.”

Growing institutional blockchain adoption

NTT Digital’s involvement follows major endorsements from industry leaders like Google Cloud and Animoca Brands, further signaling institutional confidence in ZetaChain’s vision for a connected blockchain future. With over 4 million unique wallets, 300+ dApps, and 165 million transactions, ZetaChain is uniquely positioned to solve growing fragmentation among blockchain ecosystems.

Advancing Web3 interoperability globally

The telecom leader’s entry into ZetaChain’s ecosystem not only strengthens network integrity, but also advances the development of interoperable Web3 solutions in diverse industries globally. We look forward to collaborating with NTT Digital to improve the user and developer experience for next generation Universal Apps that span all chains.
