LayerZero V2 is Live
LayerZero V2 is live, bringing permissionless, censorship-resistant, and immutable interoperability to 20+ chains.
V2 Highlights
- Universal Messaging: Any type of message can be sent and composed between chains, including arbitrary data, external function calls, and/or tokens.
- Modular Security: Developers may choose from their preferred combination of 20+ Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVNs) when selecting a Security Stack to verify cross-chain messages.
- Permissionless Execution: Anybody may run an Executor in V2. Information on how to run your own Executor is available here.
- Unified Semantics: OApp and OFT contracts enable developers to build applications and tokens that work the same across every blockchain V2 has an endpoint on.
- V1 Compatibility: Migration options exist for V1 applications. If already deployed on V1, applications can utilize the new security and execution model via ULN 301. More information can be found here.
For more detailed information on V2, check out the V2 launch video, the V2 Whitepaper, and V2 Developer Documentation. Audit reports for V2 are also available here.
About LayerZero
LayerZero is a permissionless, censorship-resistant, and immutable protocol that connects blockchains. Using LayerZero, developers can send arbitrary messages across chains while preserving full control over their application’s security. LayerZero enables developers to create, configure, and compose unified applications, tokens, and data primitives across many chains.
Anything that can be programmed as a smart contract on a single chain can be natively programmed across multiple chains via LayerZero. Since its inception, Over 40,000 OApp contracts have been deployed on LayerZero, 100s of teams use LayerZero’s OFT Standard to power tokens, and dozens of teams have built full-scale applications as groupings of OApps. These products include lending markets, stablecoins, bridges, enterprise projects, NFTs, meme tokens, and identity solutions.
