ZetaChain 2.0网关升级，开启跨链功能新时代

ZetaChain 推出了最新的技术进步：网关升级。此更新是更广泛的 ZetaChain 2.0 增强功能的一部分

ZetaChain, a blockchain platform that enables interoperability and cross-chain applications, has announced its latest technological advancement with the Gateway upgrade. This update is part of the broader ZetaChain 2.0 enhancements, which aim to refine the way developers and users interact with blockchain applications across diverse networks.

ZetaChain是一个支持互操作性和跨链应用的区块链平台，它通过网关升级宣布了其最新的技术进步。此更新是更广泛的 ZetaChain 2.0 增强功能的一部分，旨在改进开发人员和用户与跨不同网络的区块链应用程序交互的方式。

One of the key highlights of this announcement is the introduction of Universal Apps, a new feature that expands the capabilities of smart contracts on ZetaChain. These smart contracts are now able to connect to various blockchains, including Bitcoin, EVM-compatible, non-EVM chains, and heterogeneous Layer 2 solutions. This integration is made possible through the Gateway upgrade, which allows applications to interact with any supported chain via a single deployment, eliminating the need for developers to manage multiple deployments across different networks.

此次公告的一大亮点是引入了通用应用程序，这是一项扩展 ZetaChain 上智能合约功能的新功能。这些智能合约现在能够连接到各种区块链，包括比特币、EVM 兼容链、非 EVM 链和异构第 2 层解决方案。这种集成是通过网关升级实现的，网关升级允许应用程序通过单个部署与任何支持的链进行交互，从而消除了开发人员管理跨不同网络的多个部署的需要。

The technology underpinning Universal Apps employs a hub-and-spoke model, vastly simplifying the management of assets and data across blockchains. Unlike traditional point-to-point messaging, which can be cumbersome and limited in scale, this model routes all communications through a central hub.

支持通用应用程序的技术采用中心辐射模型，极大地简化了跨区块链资产和数据的管理。与繁琐且规模有限的传统点对点消息传递不同，该模型通过中央集线器路由所有通信。

Gateway's introduction marks a revolutionary step in blockchain technology by facilitating complex multi-step operations through a unified interface. For instance, a user can now perform transactions like sending Bitcoin from the Bitcoin network to a Universal App on ZetaChain, locking it in a vault, converting it to USDC, and then swapping it for another token on Ethereum, all with a single click.

Gateway的推出标志着区块链技术迈出了革命性的一步，通过统一的界面促进复杂的多步骤操作。例如，用户现在可以执行交易，例如将比特币从比特币网络发送到 ZetaChain 上的通用应用程序，将其锁定在保险库中，将其转换为 USDC，然后将其交换为以太坊上的另一种代币，所有这些都只需单击一下即可。

Moreover, Gateway revitalizes the smart contract interface, enabling externally owned accounts (EOAs) and other applications on connected chains to efficiently communicate with Universal Apps. This integration supports various functionalities, including token transfers and handling of gas queries, through a streamlined API.

此外，Gateway重振了智能合约接口，使外部拥有的账户（EOA）和连接链上的其他应用程序能够与通用应用程序有效地通信。该集成通过简化的 API 支持各种功能，包括代币传输和 Gas 查询处理。

For end-users, the new update brings forth a heightened level of convenience and accessibility. A Bitcoin holder can, for example, use a Universal App to send USDC to an Ethereum address without needing to switch networks or manage multiple wallet interfaces. Similarly, an Ethereum user could purchase an NFT on ZetaChain and transfer it directly to their BNB chain account in a single seamless process.

对于最终用户来说，新的更新带来了更高水平的便利性和可访问性。例如，比特币持有者可以使用通用应用程序将 USDC 发送到以太坊地址，而无需切换网络或管理多个钱包接口。同样，以太坊用户可以在 ZetaChain 上购买 NFT，并通过一个无缝流程将其直接转移到他们的 BNB 链账户。

Developers, too, stand to gain from the Gateway upgrade. The new localnet environment introduced alongside Gateway allows for rapid deployment and interaction with contracts. This development mirrors operations on a unified chain, offering real-time feedback and instant transaction finalization, thereby significantly enhancing the development process.

开发人员也将从网关升级中获益。与网关一起引入的新本地网络环境允许快速部署以及与合约交互。该开发反映了统一链上的操作，提供实时反馈和即时交易完成，从而显着增强了开发过程。
