Founded in 2021, LayerZero’s vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.

LayerZero Labs develops LayerZero, an omnichain interoperability protocol that enables secure messaging and data/asset transfers between disparate blockchains, allowing decentralized applications to operate across multiple chains without centralizing security. The protocol uses a User Application configurable on-chain endpoint with Oracle and Relayer components to reduce transaction failures. It serves the blockchain ecosystem by connecting isolated chains.
