LayerZero
1 storyCross-chain activity through LayerZero centers on cross-chain asset transfer. Before completing a transfer, LayerZero verifies cross-chain state through source-chain transaction verification and cross-chain message packets. Operational workflows in LayerZero include immutable endpoint contracts, Decentralized Verifier Networks, and permissionless executor services. Contract upgrades and new routes belong under LayerZero; outages, exploits or recovery work at LayerZero stay here when source-chain transaction verification changes. Wallets and destination applications linked to LayerZero use separate tags unless their integration changes protocol routing.
