Metaverse Information Bureau News: ZetaChain's Lightning upgrade makes cross-chain transactions super fast! Universal app also expanded. #ZetaChain #CrossChain #Web3
Video explanation
What is Zetachain's "Lightning Upgrade"? It could change the future of the Internet and the Metaverse!
Hello everyone! I'm John, your guide to the Metaverse.
Today, I will explain the new technology news "Zetachain's Lightning Upgrade" in an easy-to-understand way, as always, which may be a little difficult to understand, but may also be related to the future of the Internet and the metaverse that we are looking forward to! Don't worry if you are wondering "Blockchain?" "Cross-chain?" "What's that?" Let's take a look together!
First of all, what is ZetaChain?
First of all, many people are hearing the term "ZetaChain" for the first time.
This is the name of a project that aims to connect many different "blockchains" together.
You might be wondering, "What is blockchain?"
Simply put, everyone records the same information and manages it in a way that makes it difficult to tamper with."Big digital notebook"It's like
This blockchain technology is also used in Bitcoin and the recently popular "NFT (Non-Fungible Token, a unique piece of digital data)."
However, there are many different types of these "digital notebooks," and each one usually operates independently, making it difficult to communicate directly with them.
The idea is that there are stores that only accept Japanese yen and stores that only accept dollars, and you can't shop unless you exchange money.
Zetachain is a project that aims to act as a kind of "currency exchange" to make it easier to connect various kinds of "digital notes" together.
What's so great about the new "Lightning Upgrade"?
Now, onto the main topic, the Lightning Upgrade.
"Lightning" means "lightning" in English. As the name suggests, think of it as a power-up that makes Zetachain faster and more convenient!
Specifically, there are three main great things about it.
-
Point 1: Processing becomes faster!
This upgrade will apparently result in a shorter block time. Block time is the time it takes for a new page (called a block) to be added to the blockchain's digital notebook. A shorter block time means that transactions can be approved more quickly. It's like a faster cash register and the queue moves faster!
-
Point 2: You will be able to connect with more "different worlds"!
"Expanding cross-chain compatibility" is also a major point. "Cross-chain" means connecting different blockchains. "Compatibility" means the ability to work well together. In other words, blockchains that were previously difficult to connect will be able to communicate smoothly through Zetachain. It's like people from different countries will be able to communicate more easily across language barriers.
-
Point 3: It strengthens the foundation for apps that can run anywhere (universal apps)!
"Strengthening infrastructure for decentralized universal apps" will also be promoted. "Decentralized apps (DApps: short for Decentralized Applications)" are apps that are not managed by a specific company, but are run by everyone supporting each other. Therefore, there is less concern that the service will suddenly end due to the policy of one company. And "universal apps" are amazing apps that can be used in the blockchain world, like a smartphone app that can be used the same way on an iPhone or Android. They can run on various blockchains, not just a specific blockchain. This upgrade will make it easier to develop these future apps, and the foundation for making them easier for us to use will become more solid and sturdy.
How does this relate to the future metaverse?
You may be wondering, "What does Zetachain and blockchain have to do with the Metaverse?" Yes, they are!
The metaverse is often described as a kind of "another world" that is made up of a variety of virtual spaces created by many people and companies. It's like something out of a science fiction movie!
Currently, the metaverses created by Company A and Company B are like separate countries, so it is very difficult to take cool digital clothes purchased in Company A's metaverse to Company B's metaverse.
However, as technology that "connects blockchains" such as Zetachain continues to develop, these "border"-like barriers may be removed.
If that were to happen, we might be able to freely move our avatars and important items between different metaverses, and easily exchange the money we earn in one metaverse for the currency of another. That would be really convenient!
This Lightning Upgrade can be said to be a very important step toward lowering the walls of the future metaverse and realizing a world with greater freedom and where more people can connect with each other.
If various blockchains are smoothly connected, the metaverse will not be tied to specific companies or platforms, and it will be more open, allowing anyone to express their creativity. It may even change the way we play and work!
A word from John
The latest news about Zetachain may have left you confused at first because it is full of technical jargon, but the truth is that it has the potential to dramatically change our digital lives in the future.
It's exciting to think that connecting all kinds of things will lead to new services and experiences! The day when the metaverse becomes more accessible may not be so far away.
