Getting Started

The LzApp Standard provides developers with a generic message passing interface to send and receive arbitrary pieces of data between contracts existing on different blockchain networks.

LzApp lends access to two essential functions:

• _lzSend: the function your application must implement to send an omnichain message
• _lzReceive: the function to receive an omnichain message

You can dive right in with a simple code example here.

Because everything on the blockchain is at its root a smart contract, LayerZero can extend existing contract standards to interoperate with the protocol and provide developers a starting point for building specific applications.

Installation

npm install @layerzerolabs/solidity-examples

Usage

Once installed, you can use the contracts in the library by importing them:

import "@layerzerolabs/solidity-examples/contracts/lzApp/LzApp.sol";

contract MyLzApp is LzApp {

    constructor(address _lzEndpoint) LzApp(_lzEndpoint) {}

}

Pass in your chain specific Testnet or Mainnet Contract Address, which is all you need to start sending cross-chain messages.
