⚡️ Wormhole ( $W ) vs LayerZero ( $ZRO ) Bridges are a key part of crypto infrastructure. They let tokens and data move across blockchains, solving the problem of isolated ecosystems. Today let’s compare two of the biggest players in this space. ⚙️ Tech ⏺ LayerZero is a protocol for direct cross-chain messaging. Assets aren’t locked in contracts, they’re minted on destination chains through its messaging system. It’s not just a bridge, but a universal messaging protocol. ⏺ Wormhole started as a classic lock-and-mint bridge. Today it has evolved into a full messaging protocol while keeping its bridge infrastructure. How they work ⏺ Wormhole runs on a Guardian network. 19 validators (Guardians) sign messages, creating a cryptographic proof (VAA) that gets relayed to the target chain. It’s fast but more centralized, and a majority attack on validators could pose risks. ⏺ LayerZero uses the Ultra Light Node (ULN). Transactions are verified by two independent parties: an oracle (like...
