Zeltra follows this same path. The network is based on the same technical architecture as Ethereum same virtual machine, same tool compatibility, same fee structure but it integrates a native mechanism absent from other networks:

\
an automatic redistribution of a portion of transaction fees to the participants who contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.

The idea is simple.
\
Every transaction on Zeltra generates fees. These fees fund not only the validators who secure the network, but also a partnership fund whose sole purpose is to reward those who integrate, promote, and develop the network.
\
Zeltra does not claim to reinvent blockchain. It takes what has already proven successful at scale and adds an economic engine designed to transform each active user into a driver of growth.
