Crypto's Future Depends on Interoperability
summary
Claims that LayerZero is a permissionless interoperability layer with immutable endpoints on each chain, using a message-packet model and optional decentralized verifier networks for bespoke security. Gives concrete metrics: ~138 million messages, ~70% market share by dollars transferred, about $60 billion moved to date, tens of billions secured, 85 chains, 130+ assets and ~60,000 apps. Shows working products: token-as-bridge transfers, Stargate-style bridges, sink pools for native liquid staking, and back-end rebalances for protocols.
