CRTR Mainnet Is Live

Creator Chain has officially launched its mainnet, opening the network to developers, creators, and communities. Several applications are already deployed and running on mainnet from day one, with the goal of bootstrapping real onchain activity before the CRTR token goes live. ETH currently serves as the native gas token on the chain.

Creator Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built using ZKsync's ZK Stack, designed to bring all types of creators onchain, including streamers, game developers, 3D artists, fashion designers, and musicians, along with their audiences.

The network uses Chain ID 2787, with its RPC available at rpc.mainnet.oncreator.com. Assets can be bridged from Ethereum mainnet to CRTR via the Creator Portal at portal.mainnet.oncreator.com, with a ZKsync bridge handling transfers between the two networks.

Three Apps Ready on Day One

Creator Chain launches with three live applications already available for users and developers to explore, with more to be announced in the coming days.

The first is ZTX Mafia Game, found at ztxmafia.xyz. It is the first agentically developed and produced game within the ZTX umbrella on Creator Chain. ZTX Mafia is an onchain social strategy title where players participate in classic Mafia-style gameplay in a crypto-native environment. Human players can compete against or collaborate with AI agents, with ETH rewards available for winners and an ETH entry fee forfeited upon defeat.

The second is Creator Launchpad at crtrlaunchpad.xyz. It allows anyone to launch ERC-20 tokens directly on CRTR Mainnet. Once a token is created, liquidity pools are automatically generated on Syncswap, making it immediately tradable and discoverable within the ecosystem. Staking pools can also be configured immediately, with creators setting the token allocation and pool duration. ERC-20 tokens not generated through the launchpad are also eligible to create staking pools.

The third is a decentralized prediction platform at predictionz.xyz. It allows users to speculate on outcomes and participate in market-driven forecasting. Key categories within the app will highlight areas popular to ZEPETO users and creators, introducing onchain prediction markets to a global base of over 500 million users.

Built for Builders

Developers can connect to the CRTR RPC, deploy smart contracts, launch tokens and protocols, and build games, markets, social apps, and creator tools immediately. Builders can also bridge assets from ETH Mainnet to CRTR mainnet through the CRTR Portal, enabling seamless liquidity and interoperability with the broader ZK ecosystem.

A full suite of infrastructure URLs is live, including a mainnet block explorer at explorer.mainnet.oncreator.com and a testnet environment for pre-production development.

Creator Chain previously secured funding in an undisclosed deal that valued the CRTR network at 200 million USD. The project also secured a grant from the ZKsync Foundation as part of its entry into the Elastic Chain ecosystem, with efforts designed to establish CREATOR's position as an early leader in the areas of GameFi, SocialFi, and MemeFi.

ZTX and the ZEPETO Gateway

The most important onchain gaming project connected to Creator Chain is ZTX, the web3 social metaverse platform that serves as the ecosystem's flagship app and primary user onboarding engine.

ZTX is the Web3 version of ZEPETO, which boasts over 500 million lifetime users and 20 million monthly active users. With the launch of the CRTR mainnet, ZTX will be able to start onboarding ZEPETO users to blockchain.

ZTX and ZEPETO have been focused on 3D games from the beginning. Countless user-generated games on ZEPETO contributed to ZEPETO's monthly active user base surpassing 20 million, and the ZTX PC application also featured several casual games. In February 2026, ZTX announced plans to expand further into AI-powered gaming on Creator Chain. ZTX will commence initiatives to foster AI agents producing and playing casual games, connecting them to the ZEPETO community and providing agents with ZTX avatar identities. Creator Chain will heavily reward agentic gaming projects in the ZTX ecosystem with CRTR rewards or airdrop farming allocations.

The strategy positions ZTX as both a content platform and a pipeline for mainstream users entering web3 gaming for the first time, with Creator Chain providing the infrastructure underneath.

The launch of mainnet is not the finish line. With core infrastructure live and the first applications already deployed, the next phase is focused on ecosystem expansion, with developers, creators, and communities invited to start experimenting, launching projects, and pushing the boundaries of what can be built on CRTR.
