# Zetachain (ZETA) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/zeta.html

## Definition
ZetaChain is a public proof-of-stake layer-1 blockchain enabling universal cross-chain smart contracts and asset transfers across both smart-contract and non-smart-contract chains.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native asset of the ZetaChain network — gas token, staked to secure the network, with governance rights. Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the ZetaChain network — pays for transactions and computation.

## Key risks & notes
Security rests on validator-supermajority and TSS key-share assumptions. Cross-chain messaging adds complexity and connected-chain failure risk. Supply, vesting, and treasury allocations bear on decentralization.
