LayerZero V1

LayerZero is a technology that enables applications to move data across blockchains, uniquely supporting censorship-resistant messages and permissionless development through immutable smart contracts.

## Overview LayerZero V1 is a cross-chain messaging protocol designed to enable applications to move data and assets between different blockchains with censorship resistance as a core principle. Rather than relying on wrapped tokens or liquidity pools, LayerZero operates at the application layer, allowing developers to build permissionless, interoperable systems without centralized intermediaries or bridge validators that could censure transactions. The protocol exists to solve a fundamental constraint in blockchain development: the inability to natively communicate across separate chains. As
