They built a chain to connect every chain. This morning they vote on the change-of-address form.
$ZETA Proposal 2 closes Nov 7. September already rubber-stamped the direction at 99.4% yes. Today's vote just picks the moving date: L1 goes dark around Dec 9 at block 20,755,000. Same ticker, new ZIP code — native Solana SPL, 1:1, mint authority revoked after the snapshot. The ~55M of validator emissions that would have paid people to secure the old chain? Burned monthly through 2027. Efficient.
Who wins: Solana (another migrant), the team (whitepaper reboot: "Private AI on Solana"), exchanges that convert for you. Who's left holding the bag: validators clocking out at the halt block, and anyone who bought an omnichain L1 instead of an AI chatbot. Under 10 $ZETA? No portal claim. Dust stays dust.
Calling a chain death "connecting AI" is theater with good lighting. ZetaLabs launches the same day the lights go out.
If your interoperability L1's killer app needs someone else's chain, what was the L1 for?
