ZetaChain: the L1 halts on December 9 and ZETA moves to Solana, with ZetaLabs waitlist open
Overview
ZETA holders approved the move to Solana through a governance vote on November 7. On December 9 the ZetaChain L1 halts and ZETA is minted 1:1 on Solana as a native SPL token with no new issuance. ZetaLabs opens the same day: a private AI app from ZetaChain that puts leading models and live market data into one chat interface, with conversations encrypted so that even ZetaChain cannot read them. The waitlist currently needs only an email address.
Requirements
To claim: from December 9, connect the old wallet at hub.zetachain.com/migrate and sign a message naming your Solana address. There is no fee and no SOL is needed, but the wallet must hold at least 10 ZETA. For the waitlist, enter an email at labs.zetachain.com.
Reward
This is not an airdrop: the migration is a 1:1 chain swap with no new tokens. ZetaChain has announced no rewards for waitlist users. It did airdrop to testnet and mainnet users back in 2024, but this time the team only refers to early users.
Deadline
Open-ended
Ongoing
Risk notes
Keep two things separate: the migration you must do, and the rewards that may or may not exist. The migration is mandatory. Staked and exchange balances need no action, but wrapped or pooled ZETA has to be unwrapped or withdrawn before the snapshot or the claim may fail, and wallets below 10 ZETA do not qualify and need to top up first. The waitlist is a free email signup with no reward commitment, so treat it as holding a place in line, not as a confirmed airdrop. Fake ZetaChain links are already circulating: trust only labs.zetachain.com and hub.zetachain.com, and neither will ever ask for a seed phrase.
How to take part
- Always enter through the official link listed under Source — never a shortened link from a stranger.
- Use a dedicated wallet. Start with a small transaction, confirm it behaves as expected, then scale.
- Check every requirement one by one, especially snapshot times and holding periods.
- Claim or confirm before the deadline — expired windows are rarely re-opened.
