XDC Labs and LayerZero Labs Have Announced a Major Collaboration That Integrates LayerZero's Universal Messaging Protocol into the XDC Network

XDC Labs and LayerZero Labs have announced a major collaboration that integrates LayerZero’s universal messaging protocol into the XDC Network, unlocking interoperability across dozens of blockchains. The integration was announced at XDC Tech Webinar 6.0.

LayerZero’s messaging protocol enables smart contracts on different blockchains to communicate seamlessly and securely, paving the way for interoperable dApps, DeFi protocols, and Web3 services.

“We are excited to partner with XDC Labs to bring LayerZero’s interoperability to the XDC Network. This integration will unlock new possibilities for developers to build truly omnichain applications and services,” said Nate Herrick, CEO and co-founder of LayerZero Labs.

“We are always looking for ways to improve the developer experience and make it easier to build on XDC. This collaboration with LayerZero will provide developers with access to a wide range of interoperability primitives and best-in-class building blocks.” said Ben Chen, CEO of XDC Labs.

Launched in June 2019, XDC Network (XDC) is a hybrid blockchain platform designed for global trade and real-world-asset tokenization. Its delegated proof-of-stake consensus ensures low environmental impact while delivering enterprise-grade performance and security.

Since its mainnet debut, XDC has processed over 6 million daily transactions, secured more than 3 million active accounts, and powered upwards of 18,000 smart contracts—with transaction finality in just 2–3 seconds and minimal gas fees. The recent XDC 2.0 upgrade added military-grade security and subnet privacy features, making it more appealing for regulated tokenization and DeFi.

The XDC token, launched in April 2018, currently ranks 61st by market capitalization. Trading at $0.07, it has gained 15% over the past month.
