Luganodes is now open to delegations on ZetaChain. Users can also opt to stake with us via BitGo.

Introduction

We are thrilled to announce that Luganodes is now live on the ZetaChain Mainnet! As a leading provider in the blockchain infrastructure space. Luganodes' expansion onto ZetaChain marks a notable advancement in our commitment to enhancing connectivity and interoperability in the blockchain ecosystem.

ZetaChain: The Omnichain Revolution

ZetaChain stands out as a pioneering blockchain technology, uniquely designed to enable seamless interoperability across various blockchain networks. At its core, ZetaChain is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that connects both smart contract platforms like Ethereum, Ethereum L2 rollups, Solana, Terra, and Algorand, as well as non-smart contract blockchains including Bitcoin and Dogecoin. This groundbreaking approach addresses the critical need for cross-chain communication, positioning ZetaChain as a catalyst for widespread blockchain adoption and a key player in the industry's future.

The ZetaChain Hype

ZetaChain's popularity stems from its ability to facilitate what was previously thought to be impossible: direct and native interactions across different blockchains. By enabling smart contracts on ZetaChain to directly update states and manage assets on external chains, ZetaChain has opened doors to unprecedented possibilities in the realm of decentralized applications (dApps). This feature, along with its robust and decentralized infrastructure, has made ZetaChain a popular choice among developers and institutions seeking to create versatile, cross-chain applications.

• Direct Interactions: ZetaChain eliminates the need for bridging or wrapping, significantly reducing the risks associated with cross-chain applications.
• Native Smart Contracts: Offers a robust platform for secure cross-chain DeFi and NFT collections.
• EVM Compatibility: Leverages Ethereum's security and network effects, making it an ideal platform for developers.
