- TON has patnered with LayerZero, tapping the protocol for interoperability.
- Integration will boost TON’s cross-chain ecosystem.
The Open Network (TON) has announced integration with the interoperability protocol LayerZero aimed at enhancing its crosschain asset transfers.
The TON network integration primary goal is to scale cross chain transfer to at least 100 blockchains. Among the chains to be connected include Ethereum, Tron, Solana and many more.
The integration will make TON deal with the liquidity limitations and limited access to other chain networks. Users will have access to some of the major crypto assets offered on a wide range of blockchain through the LayerZero protocol.
TON and LayerZero integration
According to a press release, the major partners behind the integration include USDT, stablecoin Ethena and the cross-chain bridge Stargate.
The integration will allow users to have a luxury of seamless transfer of their USDT tokens from Ethereum blockchain, Tron and the other connected chains to the TON blockchain. LayerZero-based cross-chain bridge platform Stargate will provide an entry point for crypto traders to bridge their crypto assets.
Integration also opens more networks to TON, enhancing interoperability and also connect widely to other networks.
According to a press release, “TON is now able to deliver sustainable liquidity and improve accessibility to its ecosystem, setting the stage for widespread adoption.
TON Foundation has made other major cross-chain integrations in the past to make its user access USDT on TON. This new development is an acceleration to have its ecosystem and Toncoin, on multiple blockchains among them Bitcoin.
Among the foundation’s past cross-chain projects is the TON Apllication Chain that is used to build applications within Ethereum Virtual Machine on TON.
We believe this integration marks a significant step forward for TON when it comes to uniting ecosystems and bringing greater interoperability to the broader crypto ecosystem,” Max Pertsovskiy, TON Foundation’s Chief Operating Officer, said.
