Cardano trades near $0.28, flat on day, as LayerZero unlocks 80+ chain connectivity.
Cardano has integrated with LayerZero, connecting the blockchain network to more than 80 other blockchains, according to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.
Hoskinson stated that the integration represents a significant development in connecting Cardano with other blockchain networks, addressing what he described as the platform’s previous isolation. The founder characterized Cardano as “no longer an island” following the LayerZero integration.
The integration was announced earlier this month at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, where Hoskinson revealed the partnership after completing negotiations with key stakeholders, according to reports.
LayerZero is an interoperability protocol that enables communication and asset transfers between different blockchain networks. The integration allows Cardano to connect with the more than 80 blockchains already supported by LayerZero’s infrastructure.
Cardano (ADA), a proof-of-stake blockchain platform founded in 2017, has historically operated with limited direct connectivity to other blockchain ecosystems. The LayerZero integration marks a shift in the network’s interoperability capabilities, according to Hoskinson’s statements.
Details regarding the technical implementation timeline and specific blockchains accessible through the integration were not immediately disclosed.
