Introducing ZChains

An interoperable L1 network driven by its ecosystem and focused in delivering experience-based services. ZChains is a modular and extensible framework for building Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks, sidechains, and general scaling solutions.

Its primary use is to bootstrap a new blockchain network while providing full compatibility with Ethereum smart contracts and transactions. It uses IBFT (Istanbul Byzantine Fault Tolerant) consensus mechanism, supported in one flavour as .

ZChains also supports communication with multiple blockchain networks, enabling transfers of both and tokens, by utilising the centralised bridge solution.

Industry standard wallets can be used to interact with ZChains through the endpoints and node operators can perform various actions on the nodes through the protocol.

CAUTION

This is a work in progress so architectural changes may happen in the future, so please contact the ZChains team if you would like to use it in production.
