LayerZero Provides More Than $7 Billion of TVL
Ryan Zarick, Co-Founder and CTO of LayerZero Labs, commented, “Imagine if a single user-facing application could use Solana’s speed, Ethereum’s security and Arweave’s cheap file storage. All of this is possible with the LayerZero protocol, which enables the creation of off-chain applications on various blockchains.”
LayerZero is a protocol that enables interoperability and facilitates seamless cross-chain messaging between numerous blockchains. It provides the basic infrastructure needed to deploy decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple blockchains. By leveraging LayerZero, developers can create projects on multiple blockchains without the need for an intermediary to facilitate cross-chain interactions.
LayerZero’s platform has experienced significant growth since its launch. In the process, the project, which facilitated the transfer of more than two million messages to more than 30 chains, achieved a total locked value (TVL) of more than $ 7 billion and a transaction volume of more than $ 6 billion.
