LayerZero is a protocol for on-chain cross-communication.
LayerZero is a cross-chain protocol that enables interaction between separate blockchains and their ecosystems.
It accomplishes this with a dedicated oracle and relayer that together handle cross-chain messaging and verification of cross-chain data.
By coordinating these components, LayerZero supports communication across blockchains.
The protocol supports a wide array of blockchains, including Aptos, Avalanche, Polygon, and Harmony, reflecting its goal to connect multiple networks via cross-chain messaging.
Four thousand words arguing the multi-chain outcome already happened and the question is now how anything coordinates across 170 of them.
The protocol layer that carries data and instructions between chains, explained from first principles. Start here before reading anything about bridges.
Household-name payment processors and cloud providers now run verification nodes in production. Read it for how they divide up responsibility.
