What Makes Canto Network Different
Decentralized and Public Network:
Built on Cosmos SDK and Tendermint Consensus, ZetaChain operates as a decentralized and public blockchain, ensuring transparent and verifiable cross-chain transactions in a trust-minimized environment.
Hyper-Connected Nodes:
ZetaChain's nodes are uniquely designed with observers that monitor every transaction on all connected chains. Through its TSS architecture, ZetaChain can sign and verify transactions on every linked chain, offering a seamless omnichain experience.
Omnichain Smart Contracts:
ZetaChain stands out as the only public blockchain that allows smart contracts to natively read and write to connected chains, ushering in a new age of app development.
Cross-Chain Message Passing:
Developers can effortlessly pass messages between chains with simple function calls, empowering them to craft powerful cross-chain applications by integrating a few functions into their existing smart contracts.
Managed External Assets:
ZetaChain and its dApps can oversee assets and vaults of external linked chains, granting unprecedented flexibility for assets on any chain to be managed just like a smart contract on an individual chain.
ZETA Coin Utility:
The ZETA coin is integral to ZetaChain. It's used to cover gas fees, secure the PoS blockchain, facilitate cross-chain transfers, and more. Its unique design allows for movement across chains using a one-way peg mechanism, avoiding complications like wrapping.
Cross-Chain Security:
Using the ZETA coin to represent cross-chain value reduces potential attack surfaces, streamlines audits, and enhances overall security. Users can pay with ZETA for cross-chain services and gas on destination chains efficiently.
