About ZIGChain
ZIGChain is a Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint stack, designed as on-chain wealth-management and investment infrastructure for asset managers, DeFi protocols, and real-world-asset issuers. Investment products can be originated, structured, and distributed to retail users through crypto wallets rather than traditional brokerage systems. ZIGChain evolved from Zignaly, a social-trading platform, and is operated by a licensed financial-services entity headquartered in the Cayman Islands. The project does not publicly name a single individual founder, and no precise mainnet launch date is consistently verifiable across available sources. ZIGChain uses Tendermint BFT delegated proof-of-stake consensus. Validators and delegators stake ZIG to secure the network and achieve fast transaction finality. The native token, ZIG, is a utility and governance token. It is used for paying gas fees, staking to validators, voting on on-chain governance proposals, paying module-level fees, and acting as collateral or a medium of exchange within the ecosystem's investment products. ZIGChain is the continued development of Zignaly's original vision, extended into a purpose-built Layer-1 network for on-chain wealth management.
