## 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:
|
|
1. **Stage 0**: Registration and attestation collection
|
|
2. **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. |
