what's layerzero?

LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol that enables cross-chain applications through a low-level communication primitive. It facilitates the secure and efficient transfer of messages, assets, and data between different blockchain networks, supporting both public and private chains. The protocol powers various DeFi applications, including fast swaps and staking mechanisms, as seen in integrations with projects like Stargate Finance and Pendle. LayerZero's design emphasizes developer control over security configurations, allowing for customized oracle and relayer verifications. With over $50 billion in transactional volume, it serves as a foundational layer for building interoperable Web3 ecosystems.
