" summary

LayerZero is a live omnichain protocol running on 80+ chains with Solana support added two months ago and 30+ verifier networks to pick per channel (Polyhedra ZK light client, Google Cloud, Nethermind, Axelar/CCIP etc.). It claims to mitigate bridge failures that account for 2.3 billion lost historically by making endpoints immutable, permissionless and censorship resistant, supports gas drops and horizontal composability so cross‑chain workflows can separate token receipt from follow‑up execution, and ERC‑721 is already live across networks.
