- ZetaChain holders voted 99.4% in favour of moving ZETA to Solana and winding down its Layer 1.
- ZETA would become a native Solana SPL token with the same ticker and total supply.
- The move is tied to ZetaChain’s focus on Anuma, its private AI app with more than 300,000 reported users.
- ZETA gained 81% over the week following the vote, trading at around US$0.065 at the time of writing.
It’s been decided: ZETA will move to Solana. An overwhelming majority of 99.4% voted for a proposal to shut down the Layer-1 blockchain and move it to Solana.
The proposal would see ZETA migrate to Solana as a “native SPL token […], 1:1 and under the same ticker, with the same total supply and no new tokens”, a blog post on ZetaHub stated. Once holders and assets on connected chains have made the jump, the ZetaChain L1 would be shut down, with Solana becoming ZETA’s new “canonical home”.
Worth noting: this particular vote only greenlights the general direction and approach. A follow-up proposal would need to pass separately before any actual shutdown date or migration mechanism is locked in – so nothing moves yet.
The reasoning ties back to Anuma, ZetaChain’s private AI app that’s reportedly pulled in over 300,000 users since it launched in February. Anuma runs on a private memory layer that lets a user’s encrypted memory follow them across different models and apps, with privacy baked in by default.
Closed AI providers never get access to that memory or history. ZETA already fuels this system: users lock tokens for credits, which they then spend on AI usage, pulling supply out of circulation in the process.

The team says Solana already provides much of the infrastructure Anuma needs, including access to models and computing resources, tools for agent identity and payments, and fast, low-cost transactions. It sees Anuma as the missing application layer for bringing those capabilities together.
Moving Forward
On the flip side, they argue that maintaining an independent L1 isn’t doing them any favours anymore. Because it is built on the Cosmos SDK, the project inherits every upstream security advisory and has to coordinate patches across a scattered validator set, with an 25 August vulnerability patch making that process trickier. The team expects AI tooling to make such vulnerabilities more common going forward.
The price of ZETA reacted strongly to the vote, with an 81% weekly gain. At the time of writing, the token trades at US$0.065 (AU$0.09).
