ZetaChain, a leading L1 blockchain famous for cross-chain connectivity, has collaborated with Google Cloud, a prominent cloud computing services provider. The partnership focuses on conducting a worldwide AI-driven buildathon to develop Universal Apps. As per ZetaChain’s latest press release, the collaboration brings together builders across the globe to participate in the buildathon that will start on August 2. Additionally, in this respect, they can merge Gemini 2.5 AI models of Google with ZetaChain’s Universal Apps.

ZetaChain and Google Cloud Partnership Powers Buildathon to Offer Robust AI Tools

The partnership between ZetaChain and Google Cloud intends to back the buildathon in which developers from across the globe can take part. The purpose of the event is to deliver efficient Universal Apps on the ecosystem of ZetaChain with the use of the robust Gemini 2.5 AI models of Google. The development buildathon is taking place in collaboration with DoraHacks to offer a prize pool of $9,000 worth, parallel to a total $1,000 in overall Google Cloud credits for each participant team.

Apart from the monetary incentives, the event will also offer valuable mentorship, industry visibility, and long-term ecosystem assistance for the winners. Keeping this in view, the developers are persuaded to register as well as be a part of the event via the platform of DoraHacks. The respective buildathon occurs after partnership between the two platforms’ growing partnership, including the validator onboarding of Google Cloud on ZetaChain.

The event provides key attention to strengthening builders to develop AI-led Universal Apps. Thus, it provides them with cutting-edge function-calling and language capabilities while executing advanced smart contract logic between diverse blockchains via the natively interoperability infrastructure of ZetaChain. Along with that, ZetaChain is still the only blockchain providing native access to top ecosystems like Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum.

Merging Blockchain and AI to Deliver Smart and Interoperable Web3 Apps

According to ZetaChain, the joint buildathon conducted in collaboration with Google Cloud lets participants leverage ADK Dev UI and other such tools for the deployment and testing to get testnet tokens through ZetaChain faucet. Hence, the event operates as a launchpad for unique ideas to merge AI, decentralized computing, and chain abstraction. This remarkable synergy is poised to commence a new wave of interoperable, user-friendly, and smart Web3 applications.
