Zeru Finance, the full-stack DeFi looping platform, has made a strategic decision to build on the LayerZero protocol, incorporating LayerZero’s omnichain technology stack and vision into Zeru’s platform.

LayerZero’s technology enables apps to move data across blockchains, supporting censorship-resistant messages and permissionless development through its immutable smart contracts currently deployed on more than 80 mainnet networks.

What this means for Zeru is that, once enabled, Zeru users will be able to use the platform without having to worry about performing explicit bridging actions, wrapping assets, or switching networks in-wallet. LayerZero enables these actions to occur seamlessly and easily.

OFTs, Omnichain Liquidity and OApps

It also means that Zeru will be able to take advantage of OFTs, LayerZero’s token standard that many tokens have already integrated, which allows fungible tokens to be transferred natively across different blockchain networks without wrapping, middleware like additional layer 1 or 2 blockchains, or needing liquidity pools on either end of the transaction.

This opens up the possibilities for Zeru to deploy complex, AI-driven DeFi strategies without the prerequisites of DeFi Summer back in 2020! The window of opportunity becomes much, much larger with LayerZero’s technology baked into Zeru Finance, and we will enable this all so that Zeru can find you the best DeFi strategies for you, and make it easy for you to exploit them.

Finally, Zeru will use LayerZero’s technology to make zScore, Zeru’s onchain credit scoring infrastructure, truly omnichain! Zeru will ensure that a wallet’s zScore will built as a LayerZero OApp, allowing the data to be pulled, parsed, and updated through any blockchain supported by LayerZero. This means that a wallet’s onchain activity across networks will be taken into account, making zScore the most up-to-date and reliable onchain credit score available.

For now, join Zeru’s testnet on Berachain bArtio! You can earn Zubbles by engaging with the platform, start earning Credit Tokens, and increasing your zScore.
