Cardano Integrates LayerZero to Connect With Over 80 Blockchains Including Ethereum and Solana

Cardano has integrated LayerZero, linking the network to more than 80 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain, founder Charles Hoskinson said. The integration, announced at Consensus Hong Kong 2025, enables Cardano smart contracts to send instructions and data directly to applications on other networks via LayerZero's standardized endpoints without traditional token bridges. Stake pool operator Jaromir Tesar said LayerZero uses verified crosschain messaging and native burn-and-mint mechanisms, allowing developers to build omnichain applications such as DEXs that initiate trades on Cardano and settle on Solana. Tesar cautioned Cardano will only fully realize interoperability benefits if developers adopt the tools and liquidity providers supply sufficient capital for crossnetwork activity.
