Zns Connect, the well-known distributed domain name service (DNS) identity protocol, has announced a new partnership with Linera, the real-time L1 blockchain for hyper-connected DAPP. The partnership aims to extend ZNS Connect compatibility beyond Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to new horizons across the blockchain ecosystem. The platform has revealed the move to its official X account.
🧠ZNS is moving beyond EVM.
Yes, we are built on @linera_io. This is a real-time L1 for hyperconnected apps.
What other non-EVM chains should I explore next?

Zns Connect works with Linera to expand its reach beyond EVM
The collaboration between ZNS Connect and Linera demonstrates efforts to expand the compatibility zone beyond EVM. The platform is popular for being a pioneer in providing Web3 Identity infrastructure. Until now, it has relied primarily on an EVM-based ecosystem and has supported networks such as Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon. Nevertheless, this partnership illustrates strategic change aimed at inputting efficient infrastructure.
Apart from that, Linera offers an exclusive architecture to allow each application or consumer to have its own microchain. This allows for concurrent execution and unparalleled real-time updates. Therefore, this will be beneficial for ZNS to achieve its objective of providing a scalable, configurable, verifiable solution.
Enhance Scalability and performance to promote the future of Web3
According to ZNS Connect, this diversification highlights a wider trend among infrastructure providers to improve scalability and performance. It also considers the use of exclusive consensus mechanisms that cannot always be provided by EVM compatible blockchains. In addition to this, amid the growing importance of distributed identities for DAPP use cases, the latest expansion of ZNS Connect could become the leading platform driving the future of Web3.
