$ZETA ZETA coin represents the native asset of the ZetaChain ecosystem, and it is now going through one of the most controversial and highly anticipated structural turns in the infrastructure sector—following a decisive community approval by an overwhelming majority (99.4%) for a pivotal proposal to shut down the independent first-layer (Layer 1) blockchain network and fully migrate the ZETA token to the Solana network as an SPL-compliant token. At the same time, the project’s focus is being redirected toward privacy and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, specifically the Anuma application.
