About LayerZero
LayerZero helps developers build applications that communicate across blockchains through omnichain messaging infrastructure. Using immutable smart contracts deployed on each supported chain, the protocol sends and receives messages between networks with censorship-resistant delivery. Developers can configure security through Decentralized Verifier Networks and independent Executors, supporting cross-chain state transitions, token transfers, and composable application logic across EVM and non-EVM chains.
