Today, we are excited to welcome LayerZero, the open and permissionless cross-chain messaging protocol, to Manta Pacific. This significant integration enhances interoperability within the Manta Pacific network and unlocks the vast potential of cross-chain liquidity.

LayerZero is an open permissionless protocol that allows the seamless movement of data, assets, and information across diverse blockchains while maintaining optimal levels of efficiency and security. LayerZero has processed transactions worth billions of dollars on different blockchains, solidifying its reputation as one of the most reliable and advanced solutions in the field of cross-chain communication.40+ different blockchains can utilize this new cross-chain environment, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB, and Avalanche.

Manta Pacific represents the first modular Layer 2 solution for the EVM ecosystem. Leveraging Manta Network’s Universal Circuits to provide ZK-as-a-Service for next-generation applications, Celestia’s Blobstream data availability service to modularize DA and settle to Ethereum, and OP Stack (and in the future zkEVM by using Polygon CDK) for infrastructure scalability, Manta Pacific offers an unrivaled user experience for interacting with decentralized applications. The trust-minimized cross-chain liquidity potential within Manta Pacific’s application ecosystem is experiencing exponential growth.

This collaboration will facilitate seamless cross-chain communication both into and out of the Manta Pacific ecosystem, elevating the user experience and empowering developers to craft more user-friendly decentralized applications.

“We are excited that Manta has chosen LayerZero as the core interoperability infrastructure for their network. We look forward to building together towards an omnichain future” a spokesperson from LayerZero commented.

Kenny Li, Co-founder of Manta Pacific, added, “Manta Pacific and LayerZero are committed to building a robust and interconnected blockchain ecosystem. This integration is a crucial step towards realizing this vision. We are excited about the limitless possibilities that trust-minimized cross-chain liquidity brings to the community.”

Now, decentralized applications (dApps) on over 40 supported blockchains can seamlessly connect with Manta Pacific using the LayerZero protocol, enabling users to securely and efficiently interact with assets across different chains.
