Proposes Solana Migration and December 9 Layer 1 Shutdown"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain has proposed shutting down its Layer 1 blockchain on December 9 and moving its native ZETA token to Solana, marking a major shift in the project\u2019s technical direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The migration still requires governance approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZETA holders are currently voting on Governance Proposal 2, which outlines the token conversion process, holder protections, the planned shutdown of the existing blockchain, and the launch of a new private AI platform called ZetaLabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voting is scheduled to close on November 7 at 16:12 UTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the proposal passes, native ZETA balances on ZetaChain would be converted into Solana-based tokens at a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaChain opens 72-hour governance vote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain announced the migration proposal on November 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project emphasized that the changes cannot proceed unless token holders approve them through governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNothing moves until it passes,\u201d the team said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current proposal builds on an earlier governance vote held in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that vote, 99.4% of participating token holders supported the broader idea of moving ZETA to Solana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, that earlier decision only approved the direction of the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest proposal deals with implementation details, including how tokens will be converted, when the blockchain will stop operating, and how holders can claim their new ZETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaChain Layer 1 could halt on December 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Governance Proposal 2, ZetaChain plans to record token balances at block 20,755,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project expects that block to arrive around December 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that point, the snapshot would capture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Liquid ZETA balances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staked tokens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unbonding balances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclaimed staking rewards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the snapshot is taken, the existing ZetaChain blockchain would permanently stop producing new blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solana would then become the primary network hosting native ZETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZETA would migrate to Solana at a 1:1 ratio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ZetaChain Foundation plans to mint an equivalent amount of ZETA on Solana using the SPL token standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The migration is designed to preserve the existing token supply rather than create additional ZETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each eligible native ZETA would therefore be matched with one Solana-based ZETA token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the migration supply has been minted, the foundation plans to revoke its minting authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Solana token would use nine decimal places and would not include a freeze authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This would prevent the foundation from creating additional tokens after the initial migration process is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Existing ERC-20 ZETA would remain unchanged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every form of ZETA is included in the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZETA already issued on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token is expected to remain unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal focuses on native ZETA currently held on ZetaChain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means holders should understand which version of the token they own before preparing for the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim process and requirements can differ depending on where the tokens are currently held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is ZetaChain leaving its Layer 1?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed move follows earlier discussions about the cost and complexity of operating an independent blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a separate Layer 1 requires ongoing validator coordination, network security, software maintenance, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By moving ZETA to Solana, ZetaChain would no longer need to maintain its own validator network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team plans to focus more heavily on applications rather than maintaining a standalone blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its next major product is ZetaLabs, a private artificial intelligence platform expected to launch alongside the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZETA holders will need to follow different migration processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the proposal passes, eligible users will be able to claim Solana-based ZETA through the ZetaHub portal beginning around December 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users would connect the wallet holding their existing ZETA and sign a message identifying the Solana wallet where they want to receive the new tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the proposal, the claim process would not require users to pay a transaction fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, eligibility rules vary depending on the type and location of the tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wallets with fewer than 10 ZETA cannot use the individual claim portal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important restriction applies to smaller balances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wallets holding fewer than 10 ZETA at the snapshot would not qualify for the individual claim process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This minimum balance means users with small holdings may need to review alternative arrangements announced by the project or their exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain has not indicated that wallets below the threshold can simply combine balances after the snapshot to qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recorded snapshot balance will determine eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exchange-held ZETA will follow exchange conversion rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users who keep ZETA on centralized exchanges will not necessarily use the ZetaHub claim portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, exchanges are expected to manage the conversion process for their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each exchange will need to publish its own schedule and instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users holding ZETA on an exchange should therefore monitor announcements from that platform rather than assuming they need to move tokens into a personal wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staked ZETA does not need to be withdrawn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users with staked or unbonding ZETA are not expected to take additional action before the snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal states that staked balances, tokens already in the unbonding process, and accumulated staking rewards will be included automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means users should not need to unstake simply to qualify for the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their recorded balances will be included when the chain reaches the designated snapshot block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liquidity pool users may need to exit before the snapshot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation is different for ZETA held inside smart contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tokens in liquidity pools or wrapped-token contracts may not be directly associated with an individual wallet in a way the claim portal can recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain has therefore advised users to exit those positions before the snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If users leave their ZETA locked inside a liquidity pool contract, they may be unable to claim through the normal individual process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes the location of a user\u2019s tokens especially important ahead of December 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZRC-20 assets will follow separate recovery rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assets represented on ZetaChain as ZRC-20 tokens will also be affected by the shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the proposal, these assets may become eligible for claims on their original blockchain networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is a minimum value threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal sets a minimum claim value of $5 per token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users holding very small ZRC-20 balances may therefore fall below the recovery threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hacken is reviewing the migration portal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain says security firm Hacken is reviewing the migration portal and supporting program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim portal is expected to open only after the security review is completed and the findings are published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly important because migration events often attract phishing attempts and fake claim websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain has warned users to rely only on official channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project has also reminded holders that they should never provide a seed phrase or recovery phrase during the migration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaChain plans to burn around 55 million ZETA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal also includes a substantial token burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately 55 million ZETA previously allocated to future validator rewards would be removed from supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the Layer 1 would no longer operate, those undistributed validator incentives would no longer be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The burn is planned to take place through 12 monthly transactions during 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each transaction would remove roughly 4.6 million ZETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final total could change slightly depending on how many validator rewards have already been distributed when the blockchain stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Validator inflation would end with the Layer 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the existing blockchain shuts down, future validator inflation associated with ZetaChain\u2019s current consensus system would also end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would change the token\u2019s future supply dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project\u2019s maximum supply would effectively be reduced by the amount of undistributed validator rewards that are burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes the migration not only a technical change but also a significant adjustment to ZETA\u2019s tokenomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributor and purchaser vesting ends in January 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal comes as other token unlock schedules approach completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vesting for purchasers and core contributors is scheduled to finish on January 1, 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foundation has also said it will not sell newly released tokens from certain foundation-controlled allocations during 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commitment is separate from the planned burn but could influence circulating supply during the migration year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaLabs will launch alongside the Solana migration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main reasons for the strategic shift is ZetaLabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project plans to launch the private AI application on December 9 if the migration proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaLabs builds on Anuma Chat, which ZetaChain says has been running since February 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform is designed to combine AI models, live financial market information, and encrypted user data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZETA is expected to play a central role in the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaLabs will offer several AI features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial version of ZetaLabs is expected to include multiple tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include Chat, which is designed for market research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radar will focus on tracking market activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloom will provide encrypted transaction history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform will also include a dashboard showing ZETA supply information and token burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these tools represent a major shift from ZetaChain\u2019s earlier focus on operating its own blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZETA will be used inside ZetaLabs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users will be able to pay for services using ZETA, USDC, or payment cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holding or locking ZETA is expected to provide access to premium features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those premium features are scheduled to begin rolling out during the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a new utility model for ZETA after the Layer 1 validator system is retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of primarily supporting a standalone blockchain, the token would become more closely tied to applications operating on Solana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More AI and financial tools are planned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ZetaLabs roadmap includes additional research capabilities and transaction-analysis features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project also plans to introduce tools that explain blockchain transactions in a more user-friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Future integrations may allow third-party applications to access information authorized by users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZetaChain says privacy will remain a central part of the platform through encrypted user memory and controlled access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical ZetaChain data will remain available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planned shutdown does not mean all ZetaChain historical information will disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governance proposal commits the project to operating an archive node until at least October 31, 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That archive would allow users and developers to access historical blockchain data after block production has stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be important for verifying past transactions, balances, smart contract activity, and other records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if the governance vote fails?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Proposal 2 is rejected, the December 9 migration would not proceed under the current terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the earlier September governance decision supporting a move to Solana would still remain in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the overall migration strategy would not automatically be abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the team would need to revise the implementation details and submit another governance proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A failed vote could therefore delay the migration rather than cancel it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What ZETA holders should watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important immediate event is the November 7 governance deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the proposal passes, users should then prepare for the December 9 snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key considerations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether ZETA is held in a personal wallet or on an exchange<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the wallet contains at least 10 ZETA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether tokens are staked or unbonding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether ZETA is locked in a liquidity pool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether assets are held as ZRC-20 tokens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which Solana wallet will receive migrated tokens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official ZetaHub migration announcements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users should avoid unofficial migration links and verify every claim portal through ZetaChain\u2019s official channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZetaChain prepares for a major transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If approved, the proposal would represent one of the biggest changes in ZetaChain\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project would retire its standalone Layer 1, migrate native ZETA to Solana, stop validator inflation, burn around 55 million undistributed tokens, and redirect its development strategy toward private AI applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For token holders, the transition requires careful attention because migration rules differ depending on how and where ZETA is stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the project itself, the move signals a shift away from maintaining independent blockchain infrastructure and toward building applications on top of an existing high-performance network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The November 7 governance vote will determine whether that transition begins on December 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZetaChain has proposed shutting down
