- XDC integrates LayerZero for seamless cross-chain communication across EVM and non-EVM blockchains.
- The upgrade enables high-speed, secure omnichain dApps with regulatory-ready features.
- XDC sees rising DeFi adoption and 15% token growth amid strong network performance.
XDC Labs and LayerZero Labs have announced a strategic partnership to integrate LayerZero’s universal messaging protocol into the XDC Network, marking a significant development for blockchain interoperability. Through this collaboration, XDC will become part of a seamlessly and securely connected blockchain ecosystem that will facilitate interconnectivity between XDC and dozens of other blockchain networks.
Smart Contracts Gain Native Cross-Chain Access
The announcement was made during the virtual XDC Tech Webinar 6.0 event, where both teams spoke about the integration that will allow developers to create truly omnichain decentralized applications (dApps). Smart contracts on the XDC Network can now directly communicate with contracts on EVM and non-EVM chains without leveraging wrapped tokens or centralized bridging services via XDC’s blockchain architecture by embedding LayerZero’s messaging capabilities.
This is a significant step in cross-chain communication. Native omnichannel functionality is now enabled for XDC’s blockchain, which is known to achieve over 2,000 transactions per second on top of sub-second finality. This achieves a more secure, faster, and distributed platform for asset flows across blockchains, positioning XDC as a strong on-ramp for inter-network transactions.
The XDC Network was launched in June 2019 as a hybrid blockchain built for tokenizing real-world assets and global trade. The protocol uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus, which allows enterprise companies to adopt high-performance and lower-carbon solutions.
Fast Finality and Low Fees Attract DeFi
Since entering the mainnet, the XDC Network processes more than 6 million daily transactions, supports more than 3 million currently active accounts, and provides over 18,000 running smart contracts. The platform makes transaction finality in the 2–3 seconds range and low gas cost … attracts many decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenization projects. Notably, the newly improved network with military grade security and subnet privacy has further enhanced the network through verification in regulatory compliance.
The XDC token was introduced in April 2018 and is currently ranked 61st in market capitalization. Recently, it has grown in value since a reassurance that it’s beginning to trade at $0.07, which is a 15% increase in the month.
