ZEUS

What is ZEUS?

ZEUS brings EVM-compatible programmability and native cross-chain communication with ZEUS using an innovative consensus of Proof of Authority(PoA)

Why is ZEUS designed as a separate chain from ZEUS?

The execution of a Smart Contract may slow down the exchange function and add non-deterministic factors to trading. Even if that compromise could be tolerated, it might be a straightforward idea to introduce a new Virtual Machine specification based on Tendermint, based on the current underlying consensus protocol and major RPC implementation of ZEUS. But all these will increase the learning requirements for all existing dApp communities, and will not be very welcomed.

How does ZEUS work? What is the architecture and consensus used?

ZEUS relies on a system with Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus that can support short block time and lower fees.

There will be fewer validators on ZEUS testnet.

Can you tell more about Proof of Staked Authority(PoSA)? What is it?

PoSA is a combination of PoA and PoS. Blocks are produced by a limited set of validators, they are elected in and out based on a staking based governance. Validators take turns to produce blocks in a PoA manner

What are the benefits for developers to build on ZEUS?

EVM-compatible: ZEUS supports all the existing ZEUS tooling Fast block time, cheaper cost
Native cross-chain trasfer & communication: ZEUS DEX remains a liquid venue of exchange of assets on ZEUS and ZEUS"

What are the benefits for developers to build on ZEUS?

ZEUS opens the gate for users to take advantage of the fast transferring and trading

What make ZEUS different?

Key Innovations:

Proof-of-authority Consensus
Native Cross-Chain Communication
Expand the use cases of ZEUS token

ZEUS is EVM-compatible. What does that mean?

EVM means ZEUS Virtual Machine. Any smart-contract written to run in EVM can be easily ported to ZEUS.

Can developers make hybrid Dapps using both ZEUS and ZEUS in one single Dapp?

Yes, with the help of native cross-chain functions
