What is Nautilus Chain?

Nautilus is an optimistic EVM rollup using the Eclipse sovereign settlement layer. This allows developers to build customizable modular rollups using the Solana VM on any chain. As a new chain developed using this Rollup-as-a-service (RaaS) tool, Nautilus Chain is itself a rollup chain.

Unlike many other chains, Nautilus doesn’t issue its own native token. Instead, as a precursor to the Zebec Chain, it utilizes $ZBC for incentives, gas fees, and governance. It employs a proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism meaning that staking $ZBC tokens is required to become a validator. Validators not only receive $ZBC token rewards but will also be rewarded with the tokens of projects that deploy on Nautilus.
