The first quarter of 2025 has been a rollercoaster of sorts for crypto, with the total market cap of the industry approaching $4 trillion during mid-January, only for the metric to slip to around $2.8 trillion a month and a half later.
As expected, the downturn resulted in several major cryptos (especially those in the top 50) losing upward of 15% of their value.
However, amidst all the chaos, ZIGChain continued to perform exceedingly well, forging numerous partnerships along the way while simultaneously attracting several key projects to its ecosystem — thus positioning it as the premier blockchain for democratizing wealth generation globally.
The projects powering ZIGChain’s ongoing ascent
Leading the pack of impressive projects building on ZIGChain’s infrastructure has been Oroswap. Founded by OGs of the Zignaly community, the platform’s scope of operations extend far beyond that of a regular decentralized exchange (DEX), offering both Standard AMM (Automated Market Maker) and CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker) capabilities.

A Standard AMM allows traders to swap tokens using liquidity pools, where prices are determined by a mathematical formula and liquidity is evenly spread across all price ranges.
In contrast, a CLMM enables liquidity providers to allocate their funds within specific price ranges, making capital more efficient and increasing potential returns.
By offering both, Oroswap combines accessibility and flexibility, catering to both casual traders and advanced liquidity providers looking for greater efficiency and control..
What distinguishes Oroswap from the rest of the fray is its integration of conversational AI capabilities to help streamline its users’ trading experiences — making it the first DEX to do so.
Similarly, another standout project to make its way into the ZIGChain ecosystem recently has been MemesDotFun, which, as the name suggests, allows users to launch meme tokens on-chain without the need for any prior technical knowledge. The project represents the perfect fusion of ZIGChain’s wealth-generation philosophy and community-driven culture, creating a space where creativity and financial opportunity intersect.

Lastly, IGChain’s partnership with Range Security has marked a significant milestone for the project, especially in terms of enhancing transparency and user experience across its ecosystem. To elaborate, Range Security is developing a native ZIGChain explorer that looks to provide clients with unprecedented visibility into the latter’s blockchain activities.
Drawing on expertise from collaborations with leading blockchain platforms including Cosmos, Solana, and Circle, the explorer will benefit multiple stakeholders. For starters, developers can gain streamlined access to the platform’s native blockchain activity and analytics while wealth managers can enjoy enhanced transparency and tracking for making informed decisions.
Real-world integrations are spurring ZIGChain’s momentum
In addition to all of the developments listed above, it also bears mentioning that ZIGChain has entered into partnerships with other popular projects like Kalp, Welf, and Nomad Fulcrum that are revolutionizing the wealth management landscape by tapping into the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market (estimated to become worth $30 trillion by 2030).
Similarly, Propchain — with an impressive $130 million locked in tokenized assets — in conjunction with KiiChain, is also helping ZIGChain drive tokenization across various markets, effectively bridging liquidity into real estate and other asset classes prevalent across the LATAM region.
Meanwhile, Sogni AI, a project by ex-CTO of CoinMarketCap Mauvis Ledford, is supporting developers in the creator economy, unlocking new AI-driven investment opportunities that are all building on ZIGChain’s infrastructure, further diversifying the ecosystem’s capabilities and use cases.
Also, in a significant expansion of its technological capabilities, ZIGChain recently announced Spectre AI as an official research partner, bringing the latter’s on-chain search engine and AI-driven analytics to its ecosystem.
Additionally, ZIGChain’s partnership with BrillionFi has marked another significant milestone for the project, with BrillionFi incorporating $ZIG into its ‘super-app’ to create a seamless experience for storing, managing, and transacting with the token.

Brillion integrates $ZIG into its super-app, making it seamless to store, manage, and transact.
This is just the start—on-chain asset management, staking, and more integrations are coming.https://t.co/NgWc7LKzSv— ZIGChain (@ZIGChain) March 9, 2025
This integration enhances user experience by making it more convenient to interact with $ZIG without needing multiple platforms.
In fact, the collaboration represents just the beginning of a broader integration roadmap that is set to include on-chain asset management, staking capabilities and other useful modules to maximize ZIGChain’s overall utility and accessibility.
Looking ahead
Further demonstrating its commitment to value creation and sustainable tokenomics, ZIGChain recently completed its 46th Buyback & Burn event, permanently removing 487,300 $ZIG (worth approximately $55,065) from circulation.
For February alone, the total burn amounted to $109,185, contributing to an impressive cumulative burn of 44,782,504 ZIG tokens to date. This deflationary mechanism is designed to support long-term value appreciation while signaling to investors the platform’s sustainable economic model.
Thus, by building an infrastructural foundation that supports genuine economic activity and investment strategies with tangible returns, ZIGChain is positioning itself not just as a blockchain platform but as a comprehensive wealth-generation ecosystem that only a few can match. Interesting times ahead, to say the least!
