Build omnichain tokens and more in 5 mins with LayerZero
summary
Live demo shows a complete OFT deployment end-to-end in under five minutes: scaffold with npx create-lzo-app, configure Hardhat for Base and Arbitrum, edit LayerZero config, deploy ERC20-compatible OFT contracts and run npx hardhat lz deploy. Wiring the mesh submits 12 wiring transactions (six per chain), mints 10 demo tokens, then sends 1 token cross-chain; mechanics are burn/mint debit-credit, LayerZero push-based messaging with encoded bytes, OFT adapter for wrapping existing tokens, and LZ read examples for correlating send/receive.
