Bridge Integration: Update

🛰️ Bridge Integration Update: Post-Genesis Network Synchronization

At approximately 1:00 AM ET on November 1, the ZERA Vision team initiated final integration of the ZERA–Solana Bridge with the genesis network code. While the network-level synchronization successfully completed, we encountered a few unexpected issues during in a staging environment—primarily involving the smart-contract interaction layer and cross-protocol adaptations required by the bridge’s guardian and validation systems.

The good news:
✅ As of 5:30 AM ET the network side of the bridge is completed and ready for integration.
With that said, we anticipate the ZERA genesis environment should move forward without any delay.

Bridge status:
The remaining adjustments involve minor adaptations to bridge-side smart contracts and auxiliary layers to allow interoperability with the live governance-enabled network.

As a result, the bridge will not launch simultaneously with the genesis release as previously anticipated. However, based on current testing progress, we anticipate a seamless integration within 1-2 business days.

Next steps:

Importantly, no governance vote will be required to activate the bridge. All network constructs necessary to support the bridge are already fully enabled within the genesis codebase, meaning deployment will occur as seamless smart contract deployment and will not require an additional protocol-level governance event.

The ZERA–Solana Bridge represents one of the most powerful steps toward true cross-network interoperability, aligning ZERA’s governance-first architecture with Solana’s matured developer ecosystem. We remain focused on a smooth integration process that is fully aligned with ZERA’s core principles of autonomy, transparency, and permissionless participation.
