The wait is over, LayerZero is now live (in beta) and like our docs lets not waste your time and get right to it. Chains We’re live on Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, BNB Chain, Fantom, Arbitrum and Optimism. In 6–8 weeks consider Solana, Terra, Cosmos Hub and Osmosis slam dunks and LayerZero to be everywhere in 4–6 months.
