The crypto ecosystem has shifted in recent times from the belief that it needs a dominant, all encompassing blockchain to a more fragmented landscape with various blockchains offering unique value propositions. This evolution has highlighted the need for interoperability.
LayerZero (LZR) is an omnichain interoperability protocol aiming to effortlessly connect blockchains. It functions as a messaging protocol between blockchains, providing secure and cost-effective communications through on-chain assurances and off-chain entities such as Oracles and Relayers. This architecture offers both security and favourable threat models.
