IOTA Mainnet Integrates LayerZero and Stargate, Connecting 150+ Chains
IOTA Mainnet has completed integrations with LayerZero and Stargate, bringing native connectivity to over 150 blockchains including Ethereum and Solana. The setup pairs LayerZero’s omnichain messaging with Stargate’s liquidity-routing bridge to streamline cross-chain messages and token transfers, aiming to reduce routing friction and latency for asset movements between ecosystems.
The move matters because it opens new liquidity corridors and simplifies building cross-chain apps on IOTA, potentially accelerating DeFi, NFT and payments use cases by enabling more direct asset paths and unified messaging. Infrastructure tokens tied to the integration include STG and ZRO, alongside IOTA’s native token; observers note the upgrade increases IOTA’s multichain relevance while underscoring the importance of auditing and monitoring bridge flows as traffic ramps up.
