Cardano Moves Forward With LayerZero Integration

  • LayerZero integration links Cardano to 160+ blockchains and $80B+ in omnichain assets.
  • USDCx launch and OFT standard expand stablecoin and cross-chain liquidity access.
  • Deployment begins under the Critical Integrations framework with the rollout of the Endpoint contracts.

Charles Hoskinson, founder and CEO of Input Output, confirmed that LayerZero will integrate with the Cardano blockchain, marking a major interoperability development for the network. The announcement was delivered during a keynote speech at Consensus Hong Kong, where Hoskinson also referenced the rollout of Midnight’s mainnet and broader infrastructure initiatives underway within the Cardano ecosystem.

According to Hoskinson, the agreement will bring LayerZero, the omnichain messaging protocol, to Cardano under the Critical Cardano Integrations framework. The Steering Committee representing IO Group, the Cardano Foundation, Emurgo, the Midnight Foundation, and Intersect approved the integration. Intersect will serve as the administrator as the project moves into deployment.

LayerZero Connects Cardano to 160+ Blockchains

LayerZero operates as a chain-agnostic messaging protocol and currently connects more than 160 blockchains. The system has facilitated over $200 billion in cross-chain volume and supports access to more than 400 tokens representing over $80 billion in omnichain assets.

Once deployed, LayerZero’s Endpoint smart contracts will enable Cardano to connect directly to major blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Sui. The integration is intended to allow assets and data to move between Cardano and other networks without altering Cardano’s extended UTXO architecture.

The Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard will also be introduced. The OFT model maintains a unified token supply across chains via a burn-and-mint mechanism rather than traditional wrapping or liquidity-pool-based bridges. Stablecoins, Bitcoin-backed assets, tokenized real-world assets, and decentralized finance protocols already using OFT infrastructure could become accessible on Cardano following deployment.

Stablecoin Expansion and USDCx Launch

Hoskinson stated that USDCx is scheduled to launch on Cardano with wallet and exchange support. He indicated that the integration would introduce stablecoins designed with privacy and immutability features supported by zero-knowledge technology.

LayerZero’s infrastructure currently supports over 61% of issued stablecoins. As a result, Cardano would gain direct connectivity to major stablecoin liquidity through the messaging layer.

LayerZero also brings Stargate, a cross-chain bridge by volume, to Cardano. Stargate enables unified liquidity transfers across networks without relying on wrapped tokens.

Development will begin with the deployment of LayerZero Endpoint contracts on Cardano, followed by support for OFT-compatible tokens. Further stages and implementation timelines are expected to be shared as progress continues.

Waymo Taps London As Its First Overseas Robotaxi Market

Waymo Taps London As Its First Overseas Robotaxi Market

The post Waymo Taps London As Its First Overseas Robotaxi Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Waymo robotaxi drives up a hill in San Francisco. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Waymo plans to begin giving paid robotaxi rides in London next year, with no human backup driver, as the Alphabet unit seeks to establish itself as the global leader in autonomous driving. The Mountain View, California-based company will begin operating a fleet of electric Jaguar I-PACE SUVs in the British capital, sometime in 2026, that commuters can hail via the Waymo app. Moove.io, an African mobility fintech company, will handle fleet maintenance and service in London, just as it does in Phoenix and, soon, Miami, Waymo said today. The news comes as the robotaxi leader prepares to take its service beyond Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and Atlanta to Miami, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Denver, Nashville and New York. Waymo, which provides hundreds of thousands of paid rides weekly, has been testing in Tokyo as well, but hasn’t yet announced a launch date. In a blog post, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana emphasized Waymo’s safety record, based on years of U.S. road tests and service. The company says its robotaxis are involved in “five times fewer injury-causing” accidents and far fewer collisions with pedestrians resulting in injuries compared to human drivers. “We’ve demonstrated how to responsibly scale fully autonomous ride-hailing,” she said.

Waymo is at an inflection point, looking to dramatically scale up its service after 16 years of technical development. Its London expansion could also be a big development for Moove. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, it operates 36,000 vehicles in ridehail services in 19 cities around the world. The company, partly owned by Uber, began by providing vehicles to drivers who finance them with revenue from rides.…
