ZetaChain votes to shut down Layer 1 network, plans ZETA token migration to Solana

ZetaChain shut down — The ZetaChain community has voted to shut down its native Layer 1 blockchain and migrate its ZETA token to the Solana network, marking a significant strategic shift for the project.

The governance vote, which concluded successfully, initiates the process of winding down the independent ZetaChain L1. The project’s team stated the move will allow it to concentrate development resources on Anuma, a private AI application it is building.

A final, separate governance vote is still required to formally approve and execute the technical migration of the ZETA token from its own chain to Solana. This subsequent vote will determine the specific mechanics and timeline for the token transfer.

The decision represents a notable consolidation within the blockchain ecosystem, with a project abandoning its own infrastructure to leverage Solana’s high-throughput network. The future utility and role of the ZETA token within the Anuma AI app on Solana remains a key focus for the community.
