LayerZero: The De Facto Standard for Cross-Chain Messaging
summary
LayerZero positions itself as the de facto cross-chain messaging layer: it claims to have secured $30B+ of value, to be deployed on 40+ EVM and non‑EVM chains and used by 1,000+ apps, with ~20 million messages/month and ~13,000 mainnet contracts. Key products are the Stargate bridge (organic TVL reached $4.4B, protocol volumes >$18B) and standards like Omni chain fungible token (OFT) and pre‑crime module that forks messages to run app‑defined invariant checks; architecture uses immutable endpoints plus a permissionless off‑chain oracle/relay marketplace.
