At first, LayerZero’s integration will solely assist 12 networks, together with Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and TRON (TRX), although the variety of supported chains is predicted to develop over time. With the newest partnership, the TON ecosystem customers can switch property like Tether’s stablecoin (USDT) and different tokens on to the TON blockchain through Stargate, a swap protocol.

LayerZero has additionally launched FunC++, a brand new software aimed toward simplifying growth on the TON community. The software is designed to make it simpler for blockchain builders to work with TON’s programming language and construct cross-chain apps. For context, the TON community itself was initially written in C++.
The partnership comes because the crypto neighborhood has voiced frustration over Telegram‘s determination to make TON the unique blockchain for its mini apps. In late January, Telegram revealed that each one crypto-backed mini apps and video games must use TON and the TON Join protocol, shutting out different blockchains. The transfer rapidly sparked criticism, with some saying Telegram is popping its ecosystem right into a “walled garden,” proscribing entry to different networks.
