One of the next major outcomes of the Critical Cardano Integrations workstream is now in place! The Steering Committee representing @IOGroup @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io @midnightfdn and Intersect has approved a major interoperability integration for Cardano: bringing @LayerZero_Core to the ecosystem. LayerZero is one of the most widely adopted omnichain messaging protocols in Web3, connecting 150+ blockchains and enabling access to 400+ tokens and $80B+ in omnichain assets. This integration unlocks the largest cross-chain connectivity expansion in Cardano’s history, opening pathways to stablecoin liquidity, Bitcoin-backed assets, tokenized real-world assets, and shared DeFi infrastructure across the broader crypto ecosystem. As the ecosystem continues to invest in long-term infrastructure and utility, this marks another step in positioning Cardano for sustained growth and broader global relevance. This is one of the flagship integrations progressing under the Critical Integrations framework, with Intersect acting as administrator. Delivery work now moves into deployment, with further milestones and timelines to be shared as progress continues. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/CardanoXLayerZ…
