Blockdaemon is announcing a partnership with LayerZero Labs.

This collaboration unites LayerZero Labs’ expertise “in omnichain interoperability with Blockdaemon’s strength in blockchain infrastructure, self-custody wallets, and node management.”

This joint effort aims to “enhance institutional access to decentralized finance (DeFi).”

This partnership brings together two key entities “in blockchain technology, each contributing unique capabilities.”

The LayerZero protocol “enables seamless communication between different blockchain networks.”

This capability is vital “for interoperability in the blockchain ecosystem.”

LayerZero’s technology “facilitates secure, efficient, and reliable transactions across various chains. It plays a crucial role in broadening the scope and effectiveness of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).”

By allowing diverse blockchain networks “to interact securely, LayerZero enhances the potential for innovation and expansion in the DeFi space.”

‍Blockdaemon ensures secure and efficient blockchain infrastructure for businesses.

Notably, Blockdaemon‘s node-as-a-service platform will join the LayerZero protocol “as a Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) to verify cross-chain messages.”

‍Together, deepening this partnership promises “to deliver a more accessible, secure, and efficient DeFi ecosystem for institutional players.”

The partnership between LayerZero Labs and Blockdaemon “introduces several key features, each designed to benefit institutional engagement in Decentralized Finance (DeFi).”

‍Development of Blockdaemon’s Gasless Oracle: Blockdaemon contributes “to verifying and securing the messages sent through the LayerZero protocol by participating as a DVN with a gasless oracle.”

This oracle is a DVN option “for application owners to select from within their Security Stack.”

‍The DVN, integral to LayerZero’s framework, allows diverse participants, including major tech entities, to operate as oracles, or “verifiers”. These oracles verify “the authenticity of data across blockchains. Blockdaemon, as a verifier, ensures the accuracy and security of information exchanged between chains.”

‍By running a DVN, Blockdaemon further “decentralizes the diversity and depth of validation methodologies offered to developers integrating LayerZero. It underscores Blockdaemon’s commitment to the advancement of Web3 interoperability.”

‍Integration of LayerZero into Blockdaemon’s MPC-based Wallet: Another significant aspect of the partnership is the integration of LayerZero into Blockdaemon’s Multi-Party Computation (MPC) based Wallet.”

This integration brings “a new level of security and control to DeFi transactions. Blockdaemon’s MPC-based, self-custodial Wallet, known for its ability to be fully deployed on-premise or in the cloud, and its robust security protocols, provides a secure environment for digital asset management.”

By integrating the LayerZero protocol into this wallet, institutional investors “can not only control and stake their assets, but also manage them across these chains, Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Fantom and Optimism, with utmost security and efficiency.”
