Layer Zero Protocol

Definition

A layer zero protocol is the fundamental infrastructure that connects and supports multiple blockchains. This refers to the foundational communication and security layer upon which multiple independent blockchains can be built and interact. Layer zero protocols often provide core services such as cross-chain messaging, shared security mechanisms, or common data availability layers. They aim to facilitate interoperability and composability across diverse blockchain networks, addressing the fragmentation common in the multi-chain ecosystem.
