- Several leading enterprises have joined ZetaChain as validators to strengthen the network’s scalability and expand Web3 adoption.
- Among these industry leaders are Coinbase, Google Cloud, STC Bahrain Alibaba, and Telekom MMS, each bringing unique expertise to enhance ZetaChain’s security.
ZetaChain, the first blockchain that enables native interoperability across major networks such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), has continuously taken a step forward by onboarding several global enterprises as validators over time. This initiative not only enhances network resilience and validator diversity but also supports ZetaChain’s growing ecosystem, which currently includes over 300 decentralized application (dApp) partners. These validators bring unique technical expertise, institutional-grade security, and enterprise-scale infrastructure.
Key Partnerships and Contributions
Google Cloud, which joined forces with ZetaChain in November 2024, plays a dual role in the network. Google Cloud not only serves as a validator but also actively supports developers through the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program. As part of its commitment to decentralization, ZetaChain announced that it plans to delegate 1 million ZETA tokens to five validators operating on Google Cloud infrastructure, further strengthening the network’s reliability and validator diversity.
A month later, ZetaChain expanded its reach to the Middle East by partnering with stc Bahrain, the region’s fastest-growing and most innovative telecom operator. Through its Web3 Launchpad Program under the Pearling Path initiative, stc Bahrain is working to secure ZetaChain’s Universal Blockchain while driving Web3 innovation and adoption across the region.
Similarly, Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is set to enhance ZetaChain’s security and accessibility in multiple ways. By supporting the Base network, it will expand interoperability while also integrating ZetaChain into its Learning Rewards program. Additionally, Coinbase will enable users to stake ZETA directly on its platform, further streamlining engagement with the network.
As CNF reported last week, Deutsche Telekom’s subsidiary, Telekom MMS, joined ZetaChain as a validator to strengthen its decentralized infrastructure through Open Telekom Cloud (OTC). In addition to enhancing network security, Telekom MMS is collaborating on blockchain adoption initiatives, including Berlin Blockchain Week in June. Meanwhile, NTT Digital, Japan’s largest telecommunications company and a Fortune 500 giant, is strengthening ZetaChain’s presence in Japan and across Asia. This expansion reinforces ZetaChain’s position as the leading Layer 1 blockchain for seamless cross-chain connectivity and the development of Universal Apps.
Additionally, Alibaba Cloud, through its Alibaba Spark Web3 program, is enhancing ZetaChain’s validator network by offering cloud credits to support blockchain developers. Beyond infrastructure support, Alibaba Cloud is also providing fundraising assistance for emerging Web3 projects and offering technical mentorship, further driving global Web3 adoption.
In another development, the TON Testnet has officially launched on ZetaChain. This bridge has the potential to boost both the utility and demand for TON and ZETA tokens while advancing interoperability across multiple blockchain networks. For developers, this integration will enable them to build TON dApps that tap into native liquidity from any blockchain, execute cross-chain smart contract calls on Ethereum, Solana, and other networks directly from TON, and manage all cross-chain interactions through a single smart contract on ZetaChain.
Meanwhile, ZETA is currently trading at $0.3399, reflecting a 1.3% increase in the last 24 hours and an impressive 60% surge over the past week. However, trading volume has seen a 42.3% decline, settling at $328 million, indicating market fluctuations as adoption and integration efforts continue to unfold.
