- ZetaChain sets Dec. 9 shutdown and ZETA migration to Solana — this brief
ZetaChain is targeting Dec. 9 to shut down its blockchain and move ZETA onto 
Solana, according to Unchained. The proposed timeline follows a September vote in which holders approved winding down the network, while a subsequent vote established the shutdown date and rules for claims.
The follow-up vote has met the quorum threshold, with nearly all votes cast so far in favor. Unchained reports that token holders must also remove wrapped or liquid-staked ZETA before the snapshot used for the distribution process. No additional claim details were provided in the coverage.
The development represents a transition away from ZetaChain’s own blockchain rather than a change to the broader cross-chain network’s protocol. ZETA holders who remain eligible for the distribution will need to follow the finalized claim rules, while holders using wrapped or liquid-staked versions must act before the snapshot to avoid having those balances excluded from the process.
Market conditions are broadly negative during the announcement. Solana’s SOL price stands at $90.19, down 5.96% over 24 hours and 4.80% over seven days, with a $53.25 billion market capitalization. The total crypto market is $2.62 trillion, 
Bitcoin is down 5.64% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index is 28, indicating fear. The next operational points to watch are the final claim vote, the snapshot, and completion of the Dec. 9 shutdown.
Since this brief published about 5 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $90.19 to $90.15 — -0.04%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₦124,626.06 (about $90.15), down 6.5% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
