Navigating the Future of DeFi on Aptos with LayerZero and Stargate 🌐

🤝 Layer Zero, Stargate, and the Aptos Foundation are deepening its Aptos integration to help users more easily navigate DeFi on Aptos.

🌉 Together, we’re breaking down barriers to cross-chain interoperability by removing transaction limits on Stargate’s Aptos Bridge, built on the LayerZero protocol, and launching a new resource library to support DeFi on Aptos and beyond.

Not only is Aptos the only non-EVM blockchain supported by LayerZero, this initiative will also showcase Aptos-native projects and ecosystem partners whose dapps depend on interoperable DeFi made easiest on Aptos.
