Key Concepts
Urbit-Blockchain Bridge
Zenith creates a unique connection between the Urbit network and blockchain technology, allowing Azimuth point owners to participate in consensus while maintaining their network identity.
Two-Stage Network Launch
The network launches through a carefully orchestrated process:
- Stage 0: Registration and attestation collection
- Stage 1: Production blockchain with verified validators
Ownership Verification
All participants must cryptographically prove ownership of their claimed Azimuth points through the Azimuth registry on Ethereum.
