On Friday, the LayerZero team announced via X that Plasma has integrated LayerZero as its canonical interoperability layer. Plasma is a stablecoin-native blockchain built for payments and designed for frictionless, fee-abstracted value transfer across assets.
By embedding LayerZero as its interoperability solution, Plasma launched liquid – connecting everywhere from day one and turning interoperability into distribution for assets, users, and applications.

Plasma embedded LayerZero in three core places:
-
Native Bridging: Stargate served as Plasma’s official bridge, enabling 1:1 asset transfers across blockchains with zero slippage. Linked directly from both Plasma’s frontend and Aave’s UI on launch day, users knew exactly where to deposit with a single click.
-
Asset Expansion: Major asset issuers launched their blue-chip assets as LayerZero OFTs, giving them native Plasma support from block one. This led to USDT0, USDe, USDai, weETH, XPL, XAUT0, USR, ENA, PENDLE, and AUSD0 being ready for launch.
-
Fast Swaps: Powered by Aori, Stargate’s Fast Swaps let users swap into Plasma-native assets like XPL from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base in under a second.
LayerZero is an interoperability protocol designed to facilitate seamless communication between different blockchains. It aims to create a unified, interconnected blockchain ecosystem where assets and data can move freely across various networks. ZRO trades at $1.63, up 1.85% in the last 24 hours.
