Frequently Asked Questions
Overview
What is ZetaLabs?
ZetaLabs lets you contribute to the ZetaChain blockchain development by testing with omnichain dApps built on the ZetaChain Testnet. Contributors can invite others to join and test the various products on ZetaLabs to earn ZETA points which track your progress as a tester.
What is ZetaChain?
ZetaChain is the world's first and only blockchain that connects everything. It facilitates cross-chain and cross-layer value transfer, message delivery, and smart contract calls — thus enabling for the first time omnichain dApps (odApps) which can leverage liquidity on multiple networks and read and update states on all connected networks.

What is the Swap app?
This was the first omnichain swap dApp built on ZetaChain. You can transfer assets between any connected chain, without wrapping or locked tokens, in a single step. This app has been closed for now, to open the community to test more ecosystem apps.

How long will the ZetaChain Testnet run for? What about ZetaLabs?
The ZetaChain Athens Testnet is a fully explorable network for developers to build and test dApps prior to releasing them on Mainnet. It will periodically experience downtime as the ZetaChain undergoes active development. Although it may change over time with blockchain upgrades, the Testnet will serve as a development platform for ZetaChain and dApp development even beyond the release of Mainnet. We will periodically release more updates on Twitter and Discord regarding ZetaLabs about new features and dApps that you may interact with and help test.
What wallets can I use?
You can connect your Metamask and Coinbase wallets. We will be adding more wallet support soon!
What happened to the Swap app?
The Swap app was the first omnichain dApp on ZetaLabs. All points earnings so far will not be affected, but points may no longer be earned from swapping. ZetaChain would now like the community to test the ecosystem's apps. Stay tuned on our Discord for more information on how to contribute to ZetaChain.
