What is LayerZero? 

LayerZero is crypto’s interoperability protocol, seamlessly connecting apps and tokens across every blockchain.

At its core, LayerZero is a messaging protocol. It connects blockchains by allowing smart contracts on different chains to communicate directly. This lets developers build unified applications and tokens that span many ecosystems — without bridges, wrapping, or centralized trust assumptions.

• Immutable endpoints: Every supported chain has a LayerZero endpoint — a smart contract that cannot be changed or upgraded. 
• Configurable security: Developers choose how the application’s messages are verified. Options include oracles, zk light clients, native bridges, or their own decentralized verifier networks (DVNs). 
• Universal semantics: Applications and tokens built on LayerZero behave identically on every chain – EVM, non EVM, public, and private. This enables consistent user experiences, unified liquidity, and streamlined development.

With $105B+ transferred and 150M+ messages across chains historically, LayerZero has become critical infrastructure for crypto. 

• 500+ applications deployed
• 340+ tokens live using OFT and ONFT standards
• Used by industry leaders including: PayPal USD (PYUSD), Ondo Finance (USDY), Ethena (USDe), Wrapped Bitcoin (BitGo), Google Cloud (as an active verifier), the State of Wyoming, Fireblocks, and more.

LayerZero is quietly becoming the backbone of DeFi, stablecoins, gaming, RWAs, and institutional blockchain deployments.

Now, its data is on Dune.

LayerZero Datasets on Dune

Dune hosts two core tables:

layerzero.messages:

• Tracks cross-chain data packets (e.g., smart contract calls, governance votes).
• Fields: Source/destination chains, application addresses, message status, gas costs, DVN configurations.

layerzero.transfers:

• Logs token movements via OFT/ONFT standards.
• Metrics: Unified liquidity flows, bridge efficiency, adapter usage

The Chains: Where Interoperability Lives

LayerZero supports 132+ chains, from Ethereum to Bitcoin L2s, including: Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, TON, Aptos, and more. 

"If you look at application deployments, stablecoin issuance, and institutional adoption, interop isn’t the exception anymore, it’s the rule." Bryan Pellegrino, Co-Founder & CEO, LayerZero Labs
