ZetaChain Migrates Token to Solana Amid Shift Away from Standalone Blockchain

ZetaChain tokenholders have voted to end their project's layer-1 blockchain and migrate its native ZETA token to Solana.

The governance decision was made via a formal proposal on Sunday, which passed with 99.4% support and 58% participation, exceeding the network's 40% quorum requirement.

Under the approved plan, ZETA will be converted into a Solana Program Library (SPL) token while preserving a 1:1 ratio. The proposal states that the token's ticker and total supply will remain the same, an operational detail that matters for holders because it clarifies that the change is intended to be a representation/migration rather than a token split or supply adjustment.

The decision fits a wider trend in crypto, with projects increasingly opting to shut down standalone chains or migrate tokens to other networks. ZetaChain's move away from its layer-1 is meant to let the team redirect engineering and operational effort toward Anuma, a private-focused artificial intelligence application.
