LayerZero Labs Partners with Google Cloud to Enhance Cross-Chain Security

LayerZero Labs has partnered with Google Cloud to enhance the security of its cross-chain environment. Through the agreement, Google Cloud will serve as LayerZero's default oracle for securing messages on the LayerZero network.

Developers building dApps on top of LayerZero will now be able to use the Google Cloud Oracle to verify transactions. This partnership will help accelerate the future of Web3 interoperability by providing developers with a more secure and reliable way to build cross-chain applications.

Metis to Upgrade to LayerZero's OFT Cross-Chain Standard

Metis has announced that they will migrate all wrapped METIS contracts to LayerZero OFT architecture, ensuring that all METIS tokens, regardless of the chain, maintain the same high-security standards.

As a result, native $METIS tokens can now be effortlessly traded, held, and used across different blockchains. Initially, this support will be extended to BNB Chain and Avalanche.

Ancient8 Launches Ancient8 Chain, A Gaming-Focused Layer 2

The Ancient8 Chain is designed to address the challenges of Web3 gaming, such as scalability, cost, and interoperability. It is built on the OP Stack, which offers a highly scalable solution that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This allows developers to create engaging blockchain games with low-cost transactions and provides users with a seamless user experience. For more details, visit here.
