IOTA’s ShimmerEVM integrates LayerZero for cross-chain communication

• ShimmerEVM’s integration with LayerZero is predicted to reinforce cross-chain communication and DeFi on IOTA’s ShimmerEVM.
• Connectivity consists of with Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Binance Good Chain and Optimism amongst different chains.

IOTA’s ShimmerEVM has built-in with LayerZero to deliver cross-chain messaging know-how to customers, in response to an announcement printed on December 27.

The combination extends ShimmerEVM’s connectivity to main blockchains, enabling additional interoperability through a unified cross-chain ecosystem, Shimmer posted on X. Per particulars in its weblog put up, this transfer means customers will now be capable to work together and transact throughout a number of networks whereas throughout the Shimmer ecosystem.

ShimmerEVM’s cross-chain connectivity

Shimmer Shimmer is a blockchain platform throughout the IOTA ecosystem from the place builders can construct and deploy decentralised purposes (dApps), with entry to options at present unavailable on IOTA’s mainnet. ShimmerEVM is the Ethereum Digital Machine-compatible layer of the platform.

In the meantime, LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol whose cross-chain messaging know-how permits for communication throughout a number of blockchains.

ShimmerEVM’s leveraging of LayerZero’s messaging infrastructure extends this cross-chain communication functionality to the broader Shimmer ecosystem. 

Massive information for cross-chain communication & #DeFi developments for our ecosystem🔥! @LayerZero_Labs is integrating with #ShimmerEVM. The combination extends our connectivity to main blockchains, steering us nearer to a unified cross-chain ecosystem.
