Zetrix is a Layer-1 public blockchain platform developed and operated by Zetrix AI Berhad (formerly MY E.G. Services Berhad), headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The company operates as the exclusive international supernode of China's national blockchain, Xinghuo Blockchain Infrastructure and Facility (Xinghuo BIF), positioning it as the cross-border connectivity layer between China and ASEAN markets for digital identity, trade, and financial applications. Its core technology comprises the Zetrix-BFT consensus mechanism, multi-chain sharding, W3C-compliant Decentralised Identifiers (DID/BID), Verifiable Credentials (VC), and cross-chain interoperability with Ethereum and Hyperledger, with smart contract development supported in Node.JS, Java, and GO.

The platform monetises primarily through transaction fees, smart contract execution fees (gas), credential verification fees, and marketplace commissions. Its product suite spans ZTrade (cross-border trade digitisation integrated with GACC and Philippines Bureau of Customs), ZCert (verifiable credentials available in China and Malaysia with planned expansion to nine countries), ZID (digital identity network), Zetrix Wallet, NFT Pangolin marketplace, Zetrix DAO (governance), Zetrix Robotics (facility automation), Zetrix Avatar (blockchain-AI trust protocol for autonomous AI agents), and NurAI (a Shariah-aligned large language model targeting Islamic finance). The customer base is concentrated on government agencies (MBI, MIMOS, MyDigital ID Solutions, JPJ, Immigration Department of Malaysia, GACC, Philippines BOC), financial institutions (AmBank, Bank of China), and trade associations (FMFF, SGTraDex), with the company pursuing a multi-channel go-to-market strategy combining direct enterprise sales, channel partnerships, developer self-service portals, and a Web3Labs-powered Global Accelerator Programme.

Commercial momentum is evidenced by a USD 40 million equity investment from the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) in February 2026, a rebrand from MYEG to Zetrix AI Berhad, plans to list its AI Foundation Lab on Nasdaq by end of 2026, and active expansion into AI (NurAI, Avatar), stablecoins (RMJDT with a RM 500 million treasury), and physical robotics within an 11–50 employee organisation.

Zetrix competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

  • VeChain: VeChain is a Layer-1 public blockchain focused on supply chain traceability, sustainability, and enterprise adoption, with similar positioning around government/enterprise partnerships and Asia-Pacific market expansion as Zetrix.
  • Polygon Labs: Polygon operates a Layer-1/Layer-2 Ethereum-compatible blockchain ecosystem with cross-chain interoperability tooling and enterprise-grade developer infrastructure. Both Zetrix and Polygon target enterprise, government, and developer use cases with cross-chain compatibility, though Polygon anchors to Ethereum while Zetrix bridges to Hyperledger and China's Xinghuo BIF.
  • Hyperledger Foundation (Linux Foundation): Hyperledger is the leading open-source permissioned blockchain framework for enterprise and cross-border trade applications — Zetrix explicitly integrates with Hyperledger via cross-chain compatibility, and both target government, supply chain, and financial institution use cases for cross-border trade and identity.
  • Avalanche: Avalanche is a Layer-1 blockchain with subnets for institutional/enterprise use and significant cross-chain (Wormhole, LayerZero) integration — a direct comparable on infrastructure positioning, sub-chain scalability, and enterprise/government sales motion.
  • R3 Corda: R3's Corda is a permissioned enterprise blockchain platform purpose-built for financial institutions, supply chain finance, and cross-border trade — directly overlapping with Zetrix's TradeFi pilots with AmBank and Bank of China and its customs/trade facilitation use cases.
  • Algorand Foundation: Algorand is a Layer-1 blockchain targeting enterprise, financial institutions, and government digital identity/CBDC applications with a PoS consensus model — directly comparable to Zetrix's positioning around ESG-compliant infrastructure for regulated, cross-border use cases.

Broad incumbents

  • Consensys: Consensys is the largest Ethereum infrastructure and developer tooling provider (Infura, MetaMask, Truffle). It competes broadly with Zetrix's developer tooling (Smart Contract IDE), wallet, and enterprise blockchain offerings via the Ethereum ecosystem.

Emerging players

  • Chainlink Labs: Chainlink provides cross-chain interoperability infrastructure (CCIP) and oracle services that compete with elements of Zetrix's cross-chain messaging and verification capabilities, particularly for institutional cross-border data exchange.
  • Worldcoin / Tools for Humanity: Worldcoin is a privacy-preserving digital identity and proof-of-personhood protocol — Zetrix has a strategic alliance with Worldcoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity for Malaysia digital infrastructure, making them adjacent peers in the digital identity verification space.

Regional players

  • HashKey Group: HashKey is an Asia-based digital asset platform offering regulated custody, tokenisation, and a virtual asset ETF business — comparable to Zetrix's stablecoin (RMJDT), ETF plans (MaiCapital MoU), and tokenisation (CycleX $CZTF) efforts, with similar Asia regulatory focus.
