LayerZero develops a protocol that connects over 50 different blockchains, allowing developers to create applications, tokens, and experiences that work across multiple chains. Their technology includes immutable on-chain endpoints and a configurable Security Stack, enabling secure and efficient communication between blockchains. Unlike other solutions, LayerZero allows clients to customize their security configurations and facilitates the transfer of assets between chains, as seen with projects like Curve Finance and Uniswap. The goal of LayerZero is to enhance blockchain interoperability, making it easier for developers and organizations in the blockchain sector to build omnichain solutions.

Fireblocks launches LayerZero integration, enabling institutions to issue stablecoins on over 35 blockchains with unmatched security, governance, and no-code deployment.The integration supports seamless OFT-enabled stablecoin issuance, solving fragmentation across chains.Institutions benefit from enterprise-grade controls, real-time compliance tools, and effortless multi-chain scaling.The Wyoming Stable Token Commission and WSPN (Worldwide Stablecoin Payment Network) are the first adopters, setting a new precedent for secure, interoperable stablecoin infrastructure.VANCOUVER, BC, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fireblocks , an enterprise platform for managing digital asset operations and building innovative businesses on blockchain, announced today it has expanded its Tokenization Engine with the launch of a new integration with LayerZero , the industry's leading interoperability protocol. With LayerZero, thousands of Fireblocks customers can issue and manage stablecoins across more than 35 chains with ease, security, and governance.The growing importance of stablecoins in the global payments ecosystem has catapulted the stablecoin market cap past $230 billion, doubling that of last year. With the world increasingly recognizing the transformative potential of stablecoins, the demand for robust infrastructure is reaching a feverish peak.This integration combines Fireblocks' battle-tested security and operational efficiency with LayerZero interoperability. LayerZero's Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard will now facilitate the issuance of stablecoins and other RWAs that can seamlessly operate across multiple blockchains.By integrating LayerZero's technology into the Fireblocks platform, clients can now create OFT-enabled stablecoins in just a few clicks, all while benefiting from Fireblocks' industry-leading security, governance, and controls.LayerZero and Fireblocks are addressing the primary challenge of fragmentation in today's digital asset ecosystem, making the tokenization of stablecoins and real-world assets more interoperable, secure, and efficient.Institutional-grade security meets effortless multi-chain deploymentThe rise of institutional interest in digital assets is accompanied by a heightened need for security and governance. Institutions rely on Fireblocks' defense-in-depth approach to deploying and managing smart contracts, building on institutional-grade key management and fine-grained governance controls.Fireblocks has supported stablecoin issuance by banks worldwide since ANZ Bank launched the first Australian dollar stablecoin in 2022. LayerZero has also supported stablecoin issuance, with $10B in stable assets building with its OFT Standard, including USDT0, USDe, and PYUSD
Layerzero has launched Hyperbridge, a new interoperability solution connecting external blockchain assets to Hyperliquid's decentralized trading ecosystem, which recently saw its open interest hit a record $5.6 billion.

Selected members of the ERC3643 association, together with Tokeny, LayerZero, Fasanara Capital, and ABN AMRO, have launched a cross-chain Delivery-vs-Payment (DvP) solution for regulated tokenized assets. The solution enables atomic settlement between ERC-3643-based security tokens and cash-equivalent tokens across the Polygon and Base networks.Initiated within the non-profit ERC3643 Association, the solution demonstrates how on-chain securities and cash-equivalent tokens can be securely settled across two blockchains, without requiring counterparties to bridge assets across chains. This removes a major friction point and addresses the institutional need to operate the cash and security legs on separate networks.The system showcases a concrete and real-time proof of concept use case: Fasanara issued ERC-3643-based security tokens on Polygon using Tokeny’s onchain finance platform, while ABN AMRO issued cash tokens on Base. A decentralized application (dApp), developed by Labrys, orchestrates the cross-chain DvP process using LayerZero’s messaging infrastructure.This use case demonstrated that the ERC-3643-based security tokens and payment tokens can be exchanged across chains with real-time settlement.How Cross-Chain DvP WorksCreate DvP Agreement: The seller creates a DvP position specifying the tokens to lock, the tokens to receive, and the buyer’s address. Lock Assets: The seller locks their specified tokens in the escrow contract on the source chain. Cross-Chain Notification : LayerZero relays the DvP details to the destination chain, notifying the buyer
