ZETA Moves to Solana: What Holders in Germany Must Check Now

If you hold ZETA, the short answer is that in most cases you do not have to do anything yourself. One thing is still worth settling over the next few days, namely whether the exchange where your ZETA sits will take part in the swap at all. On September 20, 2026, ZETA holders voted with 99.4 percent approval to move the token 1:1 to Solana as an SPL token and to shut down the project's own blockchain afterwards. There is still no date for it. This article sets out what the decision means for investors in Germany: what Proposal 68 actually allows, what role your exchange plays in it, what happens to staked balances and to ZETA on Ethereum and BNB Chain, how a swap like this can look for tax purposes, and which three steps make sense now. The basis is the project's announcement of September 17, 2026 and the voting result, which we pulled straight from the governance interface of the ZetaChain blockchain on September 21, 2026 at 06:37 UTC and recalculated ourselves. What did the ZETA community decide in Proposal 68? In a blockchain such as ZetaChain, a proposal is a governance motion: a request that all token holders vote on with their balance and that applies to the entire network once it is accepted. Proposal 68 carries the title "Migrate ZETA to Solana" and closed on September 20, 2026 at 14:58:18 UTC. Its status has read PROPOSAL_STATUS_PASSED ever since, so the motion is accepted. The count, which we recalculated ourselves, was clear-cut: around 263.65 million ZETA voted yes, roughly 744,658 ZETA voted no, and a further 752,300 ZETA abstained. That puts the yes share at 99.4 percent of all votes cast. This was nothing like a narrow result, and that is precisely why the direction is now set. A word on the mechanics of this vote: ZetaChain is built as a Cosmos EVM chain and uses the governance module of that toolkit. Motions are filed directly on the blockchain, voting weight follows the balance held, and a quorum sets the minimum participation required. We therefore did not take the result from a news report but queried the chain's own governance endpoint and recalculated the count. What has been decided is the direction, not the schedule. The text of the motion says so explicitly: acceptance confirms "the direction and proposed approach", and a second motion is to supply the specific mechanism and the dates of the migration afterwards. For you that means the move is coming and the dates come later. Still open are the migration mechanism, any cut-off block for balances, known in the jargon as the snapshot height, and the timetable.
