ZetaChain is the foundational, public blockchain that enables omnichain, generic smart contracts, and messaging between any blockchain. ZetaChain envisions and supports a truly fluid, multi-chain crypto ecosystem. These "omnichain" smart contracts can send data and value between connected blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and eventually, non-smart chains such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin. ZetaChain is built on Cosmos SDK and Tendermint Consensus.
Ambient (formerly CrocSwap) is a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol that allows for two-sided AMMs combining concentrated and ambient constant-product liquidity on any arbitrary pair of blockchain assets. Ambient runs the entire DEX inside a single smart contract, where individual AMM pools are lightweight data structures instead of separate smart contracts.
