Introduction to LayerZero V1
LayerZero is an open-source, immutable messaging protocol designed to facilitate the creation of omnichain, interoperable applications.
Developers can easily send arbitrary data, external function calls, and tokens with omnichain messaging while preserving full autonomy and control over their application.
LayerZero V2 is now live on both Mainnet and Testnet, offering direct improvements for both existing, deployed applications on Endpoint V1, as well as new features that enhance the creation and scalability of omnichain applications deployed on the new Endpoint V2.
See the LayerZero V2 Documentation.
Where can I find more information?
For the message protocol design, check out the V1 Whitepaper found on the website.
If you are looking for a detailed system architecture explanation, check out the architectures section on the Endpoint and the Ultra-Light Node.
