Crossing Chains, Expanding Worlds: How the ZERA–Solana Bridge Brings Bidirectional Light
Since our August 8, 2025 update, “Bridging Horizons and Vision Forward,” the ZERA–Solana bridge has been steadily progressing toward completion. We’re thrilled to share that we are now only days away from presenting a proposal to the network — and what could soon be reality marks a major step forward.
A Fully Permissionless, Bidirectional Bridge
This bridge is a first of its kind: entirely governed by autonomous ZERA Governance constructs rather than a central foundation. Governance will control every key parameter — from guardian sets and throughput limits to upgrade mechanisms and more.
For Solana, the bridge unlocks access to ZERA’s smart contract engine, autonomous governance, and network utilities such as native staking and fee mechanisms.
For ZERA, it opens Solana’s matured Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Together, both networks gain true interoperability — allowing tokens to move freely and function seamlessly across ecosystems.
Vision Wallet & SDK: Building the Foundation
Vision Wallet is currently in development, but our focus has been on building a strong foundation first — one that ensures simple integrations and long-term code reusability.
Over the past month, our team has used its deep understanding of the ZERA Network to craft a developer-friendly SDK that we have decided to make a proposal to the network with. This base layer is designed for scalability across diverse transaction types, enabling rapid feature development and smooth integration for current and future developers within the ZERA Ecosystem. The initial proposal relating to this SDK can be found here: https://explorer.zera.vision/proposal/52a93384de66616d7d809861c270e58b6557c12ab82a6c65ce564adeb1bde44d.
This SDK forms the backbone of the Vision Wallet — and has the potential to support a rapidly expanding ecosystem of tools and applications.
Unfortunately, our pursuit of building a strong base of the SDK as well as our application wallet flow processes have caused Vision Wallet development to be limited. We hope to now be able to focus more resources on developing our next era of ZERA compatible wallet application.
While this focus on the SDK’s core architecture has temporarily limited wallet development speed, it ensures a more powerful and modular system ahead. Our next step is to shift more resources toward building the next generation of ZERA-compatible wallets.
Short-Term Vision Wallet Development Roadmap
Our near-term objectives include:
Establish a modular wallet flow and management system for use across all future applications, allowing consistency, maintainability, and more rapid future development for our own apps.
Core Wallet Functionality — Enable basic ZERA Network send/receive transactions with balance lookup and submit initial app store approvals.
Additional Features —
Transaction history
ZERA Governance voting
Solana wallet support
Basic ZERA voting support
Bridging functionality
Decentralized self-custody swaps (via Jupiter and ZERA Network, where applicable)
Basic ZERA smart contract interaction capabilities
If all goes according to plan — and assuming no major setbacks — we’re confident that most of these features will be available before the end of 2025.
Our Open-Source Announcement
ZERA Vision has invested considerable effort in understanding the ZERA Network from the ground up. We believe this knowledge should serve the entire community.
That’s why we’re proud to announce our participation in the zera-os (ZERA Open-Source) initiative — a collaborative space where developers can build, share, and evolve ZERA-related open-source code together. We plan to engage, contribute, and help maintain community-led efforts.
We know — “profit-driven private company” doesn’t exactly scream “open source advocate.” But even we can’t resist joining the shared glow. Think of this as our light flickering in rhythm with the rest.
