The friction found within decentralized apps has hindered the growth of blockchain for quite some time. Many users feel overwhelmed by having to deal with complicated wallets or going through multiple steps to complete an on-chain transaction. However, the X1 EcoChain is making big moves to eliminate some of this friction via its new integration with ZNS Connect. Together, they have created a ‘7 in 1’ interaction page which combines most of the major blockchain functions into one, easy location.
A New Era of Simplified On-Chain Activity
The main goal of this integration is to simplify the complexity of the whole X1 EcoChain by leveraging ZNS Connect’s infrastructure. Users can now do a variety of things from basic “GM” check-in using a digital wallet, through advanced smart contract deployment using ZNS Connect, without needing to log into multiple different applications.
The “GM deploy” function will enable users to work with the network in only a couple of clicks from the time the announcement was made. This is part of a larger plan to improve “active address” numbers and create more developer interaction on the network by reducing the technical barrier to entry for deploying new tokens or minting new collections. X1 EcoChain is using its single dashboard to position itself as a highly efficient environment for end users. It is also designed to support upcoming developers who want to take advantage of the benefits offered by the platform.
Identity and Asset Management via ZNS Connect
ZNS Connect goes well beyond simply providing an effective tool for deploying software applications; ZNS Connect is also a complete solution for the creation and management of decentralized identity (DID) within the Web3 environment. One major reason that it is important to use readable domains within the Web3 space (for example, x1) is to minimize the risk of error regarding transferring funds; another is to help establish a digital presence. Users can use this platform to register blockchain domains and manage their DID, and receive funds from airdrops, directly through the X1 interface.
The increasing emphasis of the industry on having super-app features can also be seen in this move. The combination of utility-based platforms is an important step toward attracting and retaining a dedicated user base. The social layer solution provided by ZNS Connect will allow X1 EcoChain to have a better chance of success by combining NFTs and Domains Management into one app.
Strengthening the X1 EcoChain Ecosystem
X1 EcoChain is expanding quickly by focusing on making it easier to scale with lower costs using transactions. This latest integration will help increase the ecosystem’s overall growth due to being the catalyst for that in many cases. As for developers, being able to mint NFTs and/or deploy contracts and have a simple user interface helps increase their ability to quickly prototype and test their code.
For the community, the “7-in-1” page serves as an onboarding ramp. Rather than needing to search through dApps, users can seamlessly explore the capabilities of the chain. Accessibility like this is paramount in competing against another Layer-2. As CoinDesk industry analysts put it, “user experience (UX) is the final frontier for blockchain mass adoption,” and X1’s one-click focus aligns nicely with that.
Conclusion
X1 EcoChain and ZNS Connect are aiming for a more mature, user-friendly Web3. By removing the barriers to contract deployment and identity management, the pair is working to make the blockchain more accessible to regular internet users. As X1 continues to build out its infrastructure these types of integrations will form the backbone of its competitive positioning in an increasingly saturated market.
