Flow Integrates LayerZero to Unlock Omnichain Liquidity and Expand DeFi Potential
Staff Writer • 2025-02-11
Flow has announced the integration of LayerZero, the industry’s leading cross-chain messaging protocol. This move brings seamless asset movement into Flow, reducing friction and unlocking new opportunities for omnichain DeFi adoption. With this partnership, developers and users alike gain access to an expanded liquidity pool, fueling innovation within the ecosystem. Flow, widely recognized as the blockchain powering NBA Top Shot, NFL ALL DAY, Disney Pinnacle, and Ticketmaster, has cemented its place as a leader in consumer-facing digital assets. Meanwhile, LayerZero has emerged as a dominant force in cross-chain connectivity, linking over 100+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Avalanche, and Polygon. By integrating LayerZero, Flow further enhances its role as a hub for digital asset interoperability, ensuring seamless connectivity between blockchain networks. Seamless Bridging, Expanded Capital Flow With LayerZero now live on Flow, developers can seamlessly bridge assets such as USDC and Wrapped ETH (WETH) into the ecosystem using LayerZero’s cross-chain messaging infrastructure. The integration also introduces LayerZero’s lzRead functionality, allowing developers to access cross-chain data in real time—enabling liquidity verification, accurate DeFi pricing, and optimized financial products. “As we build out Flow’s DeFi ecosystem, we are doing so with the best-in-class infrastructure providers in the space—LayerZero being at the top of that list,” said Flow Community Manager Matt Nofi. “LayerZero brings the interoperability factor that ultimately allows us to bring more capital into Flow, offering both developers and users a seamless, high-performance DeFi experience. We want our platform to offer the most rewarding transactions so we can talk less about the future of digital assets and allow developers to curate top-notch experiences with brands now.” This integration marks a turning point for liquidity movement within Flow. As Flow’s primary bridging partner, LayerZero is helping drive Total Value Locked (TVL) growth, enhance capital efficiency, and expand omnichain DeFi capabilities at scale. The result is a frictionless experience for developers looking to deploy applications to Flow EVM while leveraging the network’s advanced smart contracts, on-chain storage, and computational power. Breaking Down Barriers to Cross-Chain Adoption Historically, moving liquidity between chains has been a fragmented and expensive process, limiting the growth potential of DeFi projects. By integrating with LayerZero, Flow eliminates these inefficiencies, making capital transfers more fluid and cost-effective. The enhanced interoperability positions Flow as a key player in the next wave of Web3 adoption. “Super excited for the rest of crypto to finally get access to Flow,” said Bryan Pellegrino, Co-Founder & CEO of LayerZero. “With NBA Top Shot, CryptoKitties, and what they’re doing with the NFL and Disney, Flow is positioned to onboard a ton of people into crypto. Opening up Flow to the consumer apps on other chains should add a ton of new possibilities for what can be built.” As blockchain ecosystems continue to evolve, seamless connectivity across networks will be essential to unlocking mass adoption. With Flow’s integration of LayerZero, the stage is set for a new era of cross-chain innovation, paving the way for a more interconnected and accessible Web3 landscape.
