Description

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for ZetaChain's omnichain bridge to the Ethereum.org bridges section, providing users and developers with information about an advanced cross-chain solution.

Changes

  • Added new documentation file: public/content/bridges/zetachain.md
  • Follows ethereum.org documentation standards with proper frontmatter and formatting

What is ZetaChain?

ZetaChain is a trustless omnichain protocol that enables:

  • Native Bitcoin support - Direct BTC transfers without wrapped tokens (unique capability)
  • Cross-chain messaging - Arbitrary data and function calls between chains
  • Omnichain smart contracts - Contracts that can interact with multiple blockchains
  • 100+ validators - Proof-of-stake consensus for decentralized security
  • Automatic relay - No manual claiming, validators handle all cross-chain operations

Documentation Includes

  1. Unique features - What makes ZetaChain different from traditional bridges
  2. Architecture - 4-step process (Observation → Verification → Execution → Relay)
  3. Supported chains - Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, Layer 2s
  4. Omnichain messaging - Use cases and Solidity code example
  5. Security model - Trust assumptions, validator consensus, threshold signatures
  6. Gas handling - Three flexible payment options
  7. Getting started - For both users and developers
  8. Risks & best practices - Honest assessment of risks and how to mitigate them
  9. Comparison table - ZetaChain vs traditional bridges
  10. Resources - Links to docs, examples, community

Why This Addition?

  • Expands ethereum.org's bridge coverage with an omnichain solution
  • Unique Bitcoin integration not available in other bridges
  • Enables truly universal applications beyond simple asset transfers
  • Provides developers with cross-chain messaging capabilities
  • Trustless architecture aligns with Ethereum's decentralization values

Formatting & Style

  • Follows ethereum.org markdown conventions
  • Proper frontmatter with title, description, lang
  • Section IDs for anchor links
  • Tables for comparison and reference data
  • Code examples for developers
  • Emoji indicators for best practices
  • External links to official resources
