LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol that enables smart contracts to read from and write state to different blockchains. Developers can build omnichain applications (OApps) that can push/pull state, transfer value, and call smart contracts on other networks as if they were on a single blockchain.
For the project that demonstrates the most powerful and creative use of omnichain contract interactions. This prize specifically targets non-token transfer use cases that leverage LayerZero’s core messaging rails. We are looking for projects where contracts on different chains communicate and trigger complex actions with one another. Think beyond asset transfers and focus on building applications that synchronize state, share logic, or create a single, cohesive experience across multiple networks. Ideal submissions will solve problems in areas like:
How to Qualify
For the most advanced and practical financial application built using LayerZero’s token standards. This prize is for projects focused on the secure and efficient omnichain transfer of value. We are looking for builders who are creating novel DeFi primitives, extending the functionality of existing tokens (e.g., ERC20, ERC4626, ERC721), or building new types of omnichain infrastructure. Your goal is to demonstrate how LayerZero can eliminate liquidity fragmentation and create a more unified crypto ecosystem. Ideal submissions will build novel solutions like:
How to Qualify
In this workshop, you’ll learn how omnichain ERC20 token transfers work, see how Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs) e...
