Draft:Zetrix (blockchain)


Zetrix is a layer-1 public blockchain first introduced in October 2021 in a Memorandum of Understanding signing between the China Government owned Institute of Industrial Internet & IoT, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and MYEG Berhad Services.[1]

MYEG will work together with CAICT to set up China’s National Blockchain, Xinghuo Blockchain Infrastructure and Facility (“Xinghuo BIF”) international extension platform, Zetrix and construct backbone and supernodes globally.[2] Zetrix will also enable a gateway for credible public blockchains such as Ethereum and Private Chains like HyperLedger to integrate into Zetrix and Xinghuo BIF’s permissioned blockchain environments, making the network compatible for developers for governments and enterprises.

Countries and corporations in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) regions can utilise Zetrix to maximise the potential of the free trade agreement with their applications such as Blockchain Digital Identifiers (BID), Verifiable Credentials (VC) and Smart Contracts to facilitate trade traceability, supply chain management, smart financing and digital trade.

Zetrix uses a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Stake (PoS), which is up to 99% more energy-efficient than Proof-of-Work (PoW). It is designed to be fast, secure, and scalable.
