Welcome to ZetaLabs!

After so many anticipations piling and piling, the long awaited ZetaLabs has been officially launched and announced by the Zetachain team. The ZetaLabs which was built on the Athens testnet is a laboratory space where people can test omnichain decentralized applications (dApps) and the underlying ZetaChain blockchain. Join us in this article as we explore the solution to multichain. We shall discuss; ZetaScan explorer improvements, the Swap App, and the ZETA Points system and the Zetachain community.

ZetaLabs — As a crucial component of the ZetaChain developer and contributor ecosystem, ZetaLabs serves as a laboratory for new omnichain dApps. Users can now create, test, study, and contribute to dApps created using the ZetaChain protocol in an open environment here. ZetaLab is designed to supports desktop, mobile, language localization, and is made for everyone. An operational Omnichain Swap for trading assets between any connected chains is the first functioning dApp launched on ZetaLabs. It signals the beginnings of a bigger initiative to keep open sourcing model smart contracts and user interfaces that encourage and spark the development of omnichain dApps in ZetaChain’s expanding developer community.

Swap App — In the cryptoverse, swapping is a core process which is done frequently as one uses a particular ecosystem. Numerous token bridges and fundamental cross-chain stable swap solutions are available for this, however they frequently have security. blockchain compatibility limitations and high cost of gas fees. Because of this, there is currently no actual method for natively trading between any token on any chain in a way that minimizes risks.

The ZetaLabs Swap App enables any-to-any token/chain transactions without the need for asset bridging, wrapping, or locking by utilizing the efficiency and strength of ZetaChain’s natural value transfer. This means that you can send tokens from one particular chain or network to another without necessarily going through the stress and costs of bridging or wrapping. The swapping design increases possible liquidity for cross-chain swaps while minimizing risk to consumers by utilizing liquidity in pools found on native chains (for example, Uniswap for Ethereum testnets).

To use the use the app, all you need to do is to sign in using your Coinbase or Metamask wallet and swap any asset for any other asset as shown in the samples below.

Also keep in mind that the Swap App only supports a small number of assets, including ZETA for each chain, in order to optimize your use on testnets.

ZETA Points and Leaderboard — Community members can keep track of their advancement and contributions to ZetaLabs using ZETA Points system. They also promote the engagement of new users and daily ZetaLabs testing. The system encourages bug reports and input on products/protocols to assist the team in making routine network improvements.

Individual efforts are displayed on the Leaderboard page, along with how the individual compares to the rest of the community. Everyone can access the in-app leaderboard of top accounts:

there is a shareable invite for each tester to share and invite friends to join the test. You can find your sharable invite link by clicking “Earn ZETA Points” button in the navigation bar. After you’ve successfully verified your Twitter account, you will receive points along with your invited people. The Twitter verification is an easy one and a measure to stop bot spam.

How to get Testnet ZETA

To transact on ZetaLabs, testnet assets are required. Through ZetaLabs’ Get ZETA page, you can immediately obtain testnet ZETA as well as gas assets for linked chains. You can currently receive ZETA through this interface on all connected chains, including Goerli, Ropsten, Polygon Mumbai, and BSC Testnet. The various gas assets for the various chains can be gotten from their various faucets.

when processed, you will receive 5 Zeta in your wallet. You can create dApps using the ZETA you receive on testnets or swap across various networks.

Zetascan

ZetaChain’s blockchain explorer ZetaScan enables users to see data transparently on the Athens Testnet. ZetaScan now supports external addresses and transactions in addition to cross-chain transactions. You can utilize the top input field to look up and view the hash of any native network transaction that has interacted with ZetaChain, including your own wallet address.

ZetaScan will be among the first genuinely cross-chain explorers, bringing a high level of openness that is essential to the cross-chain crypto ecosystem. ZetaScan will soon add a number of new features to help both consumers and developers.

ZetaChain is the foundational layer to a truly multichain future the blockchain’s novel approach creates a truly fluid crypto-ecosystem that will enable more users, developers, and traders than ever to onboard, use, and take advantage of the benefits of crypto.

ZetaChain’s blockchain enables multichain functionality without using bridges or wrapped tokens and enables the easy deployment of omnichain-dApps, or odApps, that can manage and connect data and value across all smart contract platforms as well as non-smart contract platforms like Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

ZetaChain will transition from Proof-of-Authority consensus to Proof-of-Stake model over time; the protocol is based on the Cosmos SDK and utilizes the Tendermint Consensus mechanism.

ZetaChain is especially focused on providing the best possible developer experience and we aim to make building on the ZetaChain protocol a streamlined and familiar experience for developers already familiar with building on other platforms.

Web3 has an interoperability problem. Currently, cross-chain solutions like bridges are reliant on token wrapping and are risky and arduous due to their interdependent nature, and each blockchain environment or cross-chain interaction requires an understanding of specific, bespoke solutions, user interfaces, or relevant cross-chain compatible pairs.
Key industry thought leaders, including Vitalik Buterin, have spoken out against bridges that ‘wrap’ assets and the risks presented by the inherently fragmented ‘cross-chain’ approaches in use today and the exploit on blockchain bridge Wormhole, where hackers stole $320 million, heightened awareness of the ongoing complications faced by the increasingly segmented blockchain industry.

ZetaChain’s omnichain smart contract blockchain will prove to be beneficial for a number of reasons. Below are a few key use value propositions:

Web3 is multichain. Developers do have options. But no single, trustless, public environment exists to easily build, deploy, and maintain apps. Omnichain dApps will solve the interoperability problem.

The classic definition of a dApp is a set of contracts, potentially paired with a single frontend, but that’s changing. dApps can be as narrow as simple utilities or as large as complex organizations and enterprises.

We must broaden our conceptions of what a dApp is and how one is constructed. In this section, we review the difference between traditional dApp and odApp building.

As defined earlier, an odApp is a decentralized application that spans all or any set of chains and can transact between those chains seamlessly. The diagram in figure 4 below is a visualization of an odApp structure. You’ll see a user interacts with a single frontend that connects to any desired wallet. With ZetaChain’s omnichain smart contract platform, you can deploy a single smart contract on ZetaChain, which can orchestrate whatever logic an app needs.

In addition to creating ZetaChain’s core L1 blockchain, the team is collaborating with extraordinarily gifted programmers to create the next wave of cryptocurrency goods so waste no time…just jump in and start building on ZetaChain.
