Today marks the launch of our support for ZetaChain, the first universal L1 blockchain.
Leveraging ZetaChain’s Universal EVM Stack and Alchemy’s best-in-class web3 infrastructure, we are empowering developers to build scalable Universal Apps. These apps can both natively access and be accessed from any connected chain without requiring users to switch networks.
Starting today, you can deploy on ZetaChain Mainnet and ZetaChain Testnet, and can access to Alchemy Supernode, Alchemy Subgraphs and our full suite of developer tools.

What is ZetaChain?
ZetaChain is a omnichain network that enables developers to build universal applications accessible from any connected blockchain.
Key features include:
Universal liquidity access across all connected networks from a single deployment
Full compatibility with both existing and new chain integrations
Users can access Universal Apps from any connected chain using a single wallet
Native support for the Bitcoin network
Why build on ZetaChain with Alchemy?
By choosing to build on Alchemy, you gain access to:
Supernode, the most reliable and scalable infrastructure to build web3 dapps
Alchemy Subgraphs for faster shipping with custom GraphQL APIs
Powerful developer tools and a user-friendly dashboard
24/7 support from the Alchemy team to help you build
ZetaChain use cases
ZetaChain is ranked among the top blockchains by active users, has generated over 135 million transactions, built an ecosystem of 260+ developers and partners, and has seen more than 7,300 dapp contracts deployed.
We're particularly excited about DeFi, social, Super Aggregator apps, and web3 gaming verticals:
1. DeFi primitives
Eddy Finance is a new Omnichain DEX that powers native cross-chain asset transfers and stableswaps across any blockchain.
With built in Bitcoin connectivity, Eddy Finance enables Bitcoin trades directly with other assets without the wrapped version or derivative and all with a single transaction.
2. Super Aggregator apps
Super Aggregator apps will be possible with Omnichain Accounts as part of the ZetaChain 2.0 roadmap. Learn more about this feature proposal here.
3. Social apps
SugarFi is a new multichain-first social networking app that lets anyone create content, monetize, and socialize with the broader community across any chain.
With ZetaChain, Sugar onboards users and their assets from any chain and powers payments and transfers to friends in a simple UX. This solves the challenge of chain fragmentation in web3, historically limiting a fluid social networking experience.
4. Gaming apps
Upcade is a web3 gaming hub enabling seamless, multi-player game experiences from any chain. Users can even deposit native BTC for in-game activities like play-to-earn and digital asset shopping. ZetaChain enables Upcade users to play games across chains, including Bitcoin, and to participate in omnichain matchmaking.
