LayerZero

Our vision is to build a better internet. This is a bold mission that requires a significant amount of work, so we are looking for fearless individuals who are eager to contribute meaningfully towards this vision. If you are not willing to put in the work, then LayerZero is not the place for you. 

Founded in 2021, LayerZero’s mission is to create a community of cross-chain developers building decentralized applications (dApps) that are no longer limited by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero’s simple and generic messaging protocol, developers can build cross-chain applications that unify the benefits of different blockchains.

We care that you can clearly articulate an idea, argument, or analysis - the more contrarian, the better! You can submit a piece you have written in the past.

We look forward to reviewing your application.
