IOTA’s ShimmerEVM has integrated with LayerZero to bring cross-chain messaging technology to users, according to an announcement published on December 27.
The integration extends ShimmerEVM’s connectivity to major blockchains, enabling further interoperability via a unified cross-chain ecosystem, Shimmer& posted on X. Per details in its blog post, this move means users will now be able to interact and transact across several networks while within the Shimmer ecosystem.
ShimmerEVM’s cross-chain connectivity
Shimmer Shimmer is a blockchain platform within the IOTA ecosystem from where developers can build and deploy decentralised applications (dApps), with access to features currently unavailable on IOTA’s mainnet. ShimmerEVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer of the platform.
Meanwhile, LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol whose cross-chain messaging technology allows for communication across multiple blockchains.
ShimmerEVM’s leveraging of LayerZero’s messaging infrastructure extends this cross-chain communication capability to the broader Shimmer ecosystem.&
