🔒Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVNs)🔒

Own your security. Choose how messages are verified. Configure a Security Stack based on your application's use case.

A🧵 on DVNs available in V2 ↓ Image Applications built on LayerZero may choose any DVN (or combination of DVNs) to verify messages going between chains.

This configuration of DVNs is called a Security Stack, which @PrimordialAA explains below:

Introducing V2 🧵

This is something we’ve been working on for over a year. We’re thrilled for it to finally be live and can’t wait to see what gets built.

V2 is the endgame for interoperability.
The mission for V2 is simple.

1 - Stay true to core principles: immutable, permissionless, censorship-resistant.
2 - Connect all chains (EVM, non-EVM).
3 - Best developer experience.
4 - Future-proof verification. Image

LayerZero V2 overhauls how developers secure their cross-chain messages.

With Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVNs), both V1 and V2 application owners can configure a custom Security Stack based on their specific needs.

Dive into DVNs 🧵 Image 1/ In V2, messages are verified through DVNs selected by application owners.

Any entity – be it a bridge, oracle, attestation service, zkLightClient, enterprise company, DAO, etc. – can permissionlessly create a DVN to verify messages for applications built on LayerZero.

.@MIM_Spell has launched an omnistable by utilizing the OFT Standard to transform $MIM into an omnichain fungible token.

Holders of $MIM can now move their stablecoins between Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Optimism, and more. Image As an OFT, MIM now allows for simple, feeless movement across multiple networks.

By harnessing LayerZero technology, @MIM_Spell continues to innovate its approach to cross-chain interoperability.

Last month was a pretty exciting one! A look back at what we accomplished! Image .@PolyhedraZK released the zkLightClient giving developers more optionality with regards to their application owned security.

What point on the line is right for you?

Almost 15 months ago we launched with the promise to always bring the latest validation technologies to market. Today LayerZero is doing just that by rolling out a production grade zk light client from the @PolyhedraZK team. The @PolyhedraZK team’s zkLightClient is based off of their renowned work on zkp (arxiv.org/abs/2210.00264). Built exclusively on LayerZero, it’s custom circuits produce significant compression and allow multiple tx verifications to be batched into a single zero-knowledge proof.

Today we introduce a new project codenamed Essence, which separates security and operational burden. Essence allows anybody to spin up and run a validator (Oracle & Relayer) in <1 hour. Before, validators took months to build and required the support of a full devops team. Image Before Essence, running validators was cumbersome; requiring the management of security, gas prices, chain specific transaction listeners and senders, and wallet rebalancing across 30+ chains.

What a start to 2023!

It was a huge start to the year for LayerZero with new endpoint launches, major usage milestones, and exciting progress from teams building on LZ🚀 Image The portal opened.

Lil Pudgys are now officially cross-chain thanks to LayerZero ONFT technology🪄

Can’t wait to see even more incredible NFT communities adopting this standard!

This is both flawed and also ignores the fact that every single bridge hack of the past few years come from a shared security model. Billions lost and still those pushing middlechains are crying “trust us” The argument equivocates to saying “GnosisSAFE is not secure because I can setup a SAFE with malicious signers” or “Ethereum is not secure because someone can deploy an upgradable or malicious contract on top of it”.
