Why ZenChain

ZenChain offers an ideal environment for dApp development, with several features and key advantages that make it a uniquely attractive choice for both developers and users.

Ethereum Support​

ZenChain is fully EVM-compatible, meaning developers can easily deploy smart contracts using familiar languages like Solidity and Vyper, or any language that compiles to EVM bytecode.

  • For application developers can use popular JavaScript packages like ethers, viem, and wagmi. Ethereum libraries written in other languages will work, too!

  • For users, ZenChain-based dApps work seamlessly with widely-used wallets like MetaMask, making it simple to connect and interact with the platform.

Low Cost Transactions​

ZenChain keeps transaction fees low, with most transactions costing just a fraction of a penny. This means users don’t have to worry about fluctuating gas prices, and developers can build scalable dApps without high transaction costs slowing them down.

Fast Block Times​

ZenChain offers block times of just 6 seconds, making the median wait time for a transaction just 3 seconds. This makes transactions feel nearly instant without sacrificing the network's transaction throughput so developers can deliver responsive dApps and users can enjoy quick transaction finality.

True Decentralization​

ZenChain’s Cross-Liquidity Consensus Mechanism (CLCM) provides best-in-class crypto-economic security among smart contract platforms. Unlike other blockchains, ZenChain's consensus financially incentivizes decentralization. ZenChain also opens participation to casual users with small stakes. ZenChain is a network designed for maximum security and true decentralization for all of its users.

Cross-Chain Interoperability Module (CCIM)​

ZenChain’s in-development Cross-Chain Interoperability Module (CCIM) will create a new paradigm for dApp development.

Here are some of the use-cases we have in mind:

  • A DEX that swaps tokens for native Bitcoin in a single transaction (where the Bitcoin is sent to a specified Bitcoin address), or swaps native Bitcoin for tokens on ZenChain.
  • General bridging of any asset.
  • Pooled liquidity across multiple chains.
  • Cross-chain transactions, such as a transaction that starts on ZenChain and ends with a call to a function on an Ethereum mainnet smart contract.

These innovations will give developers more flexibility and power, allowing for more integrated and far-reaching decentralized applications.
