LayerZero Labs and Initia Labs announced a partnership to develop a compatibility standard for Cosmos. 🌐 This aims to facilitate omnichain compatibility by enabling the connecting of Cosmos SDK chains and LayerZero supported chains. This comes just days after LayerZero integrated LayerZero V2 to connect to more than 75 blockchains. The new compatibility standard will enable developers to extend existing and new dApps to Cosmos chains using any LayerZero-supported chain. This aligns with Cosmos’ “Internet of Blockchains” vision, Initia Labs’ “nested” chains, and LayerZero’s omnichain compatibility. Omnichain compatibility allows a transaction to pass through multiple blockchains without user intervention. LayerZero has facilitated over 135 million cross-chain messages and uses the network of over 200 applications for messaging. LayerZero's integration with Cosmos represents a step towards achieving full omnichain compatibility.
