LayerZero to phase out support for 20 low-activity chains

The interoperability protocol said its DVN and Executor services will no longer operate on the affected networks as it winds down support.

Summary

LayerZero said it will gradually end support for 20 blockchains with very low activity, a move that means its DVN (decentralized verifier network) and Executor services will no longer be available on those networks. The decision points to a pullback from underused integrations as interoperability projects streamline infrastructure around chains that generate limited demand.

Terms & Concepts
  • LayerZero: A cross-chain messaging protocol connecting different blockchains.
  • DVN: Decentralized verifier network that helps validate cross-chain messages.
  • Executor: A service that carries out cross-chain message delivery and execution.
