- ZAN, the Web3 brand of Ant Digital Technologies, has joined the THETA Network as a strategic Enterprise Validator Node operator.
- The company will help secure the blockchain by operating a node for transaction validation, block production, and network governance.
- ZAN joins an existing council of industry-leading validators that includes Google, Samsung, and Sony.
- The partnership leverages ZAN’s enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure and compliance services built on AntChain Open Labs‘ technology.
The Theta Network has strategically expanded its validator council with the addition of ZAN (Powered by Ant Digital Technologies). This move places the Ant Group subsidiary alongside other global technology leaders in securing the network’s core infrastructure.
Consequently, ZAN will operate an Enterprise Validator Node responsible for critical functions like block production and on-chain governance. The company will stake THETA tokens to participate directly in network security and decision-making processes.
Theta’s Enterprise Validator and Governance Council already features market leaders across technology, telecom, and Web3. Each new member like ZAN is intended to strengthen the network’s decentralization and institutional credibility.
Backed by decades of blockchain leadership, ZAN delivers a full suite of Web3 infrastructure and developer services. Its offerings include Node Service and Smart Contract Review powered by AntChain Open Labs’ TrustBase technology stack.
“Joining Theta Network as an Enterprise Validator reflects ZAN’s mission to build reliable, compliant infrastructure for the next generation of Web3,” said Ricky Yang, Head of Solutions of ZAN. He noted the company is proud to contribute its expertise alongside world-class partners.
Meanwhile, Theta Labs Co-founder and CEO Mitch Liu expressed excitement about welcoming ZAN to the validator family. “Their addition marks another major milestone in building a truly global validator network alongside Google, Samsung, Sony, Deutsche Telekom, Docomo Global, and other world-class industry leaders,” Liu stated.
