LayerZero

<h4><strong>With <a href="https://x.com/LayerZero_Core" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LayerZero</a>, you can now interact with Ethereum and Solana using PYUSD. </strong></h4>
<p>Unlike Venmo, this upgrade would give PYUSD holders better control and versatility. Let’s explore PayPal USD and what it offers PayPal users.</p>
<h5><strong>Why LayerZero?</strong></h5>
<p>LayerZero enables the transfer of assets such as PYUSD from one blockchain to another. Transferring tokens from one blockchain to another can be challenging. Usually, you must use an exchange. However, PYUSD holders can have a better transaction experience with <a href="https://docs.layerzero.network/v2/home/token-standards/oft-standard" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LayerZero’s OFT Standard</a>. You can do it almost immediately if you have PYUSD on Ethereum but want to engage in the Solana network.</p>
<p>LayerZero Labs CEO <a href="https://x.com/PrimordialAA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bryan Pellegrino</a> says the OFT Standard brings “a completely new level of interoperability for stablecoins.” It enhances the portability of digital assets so that users can transfer assets from one chain to another. This ability to work cross-chain means that holders of PYUSD decide which chain is best suited for their needs.</p>

 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Has been a total pleasure working with the <a href="https://twitter.com/PayPal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@PayPal</a> team.</p>
 <p>There aren’t many assets that feel like they can have the scale of PYUSD over the long run — distribution, moat, all of it.</p>
 <p>Excited to see more of the world running quietly on <a href="https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Core?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@LayerZero_Core</a> rails. <a href="https://t.co/IMbDL4bb7s" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/IMbDL4bb7s</a></p>

<h5><strong>How This Benefits PYUSD Users</strong></h5>
<p>This addition brings many critical advantages for people who hold PYUSD.</p>
<ul>
 <li><strong>Enhanced Flexibility: </strong>This change allows users to switch their PYUSD between Ethereum and Solana without relying on CEXs.</li>
 <li><strong style="color: var(--td_text_color, #111111); font-family: var(--td_default_google_font_2, 'Roboto', sans-serif); font-size: 16px;">Reduced Fragmentation: </strong>Linking both blockchains frees users from split PYUSD liquidity across chains. This setup keeps more PYUSD available exactly where it’s needed.</li>
 <li><strong style="color: var(--td_text_color, #111111); font-family: var(--td_default_google_font_2, 'Roboto', sans-serif); font-size: 16px;">Cost-Effective and Secure: </strong>This is where LayerZero comes into play; it transfers assets at a high speed at a low cost and with more security.</li>
</ul>
<p>This flexibility appeals to people who store and manage their tokens rather than rely on a third party. Now, they can use something other than Ethereum and switch to Solana if it is more convenient.</p>
<h5><strong>Security Measures</strong></h5>
<p>A group of <a href="https://docs.layerzero.network/v2/home/modular-security/security-stack-dvns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">decentralized verifier networks</a> chosen by <a href="https://x.com/PayPal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PayPal</a> secures transactions using LayerZero. <a href="https://x.com/Paxos" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Paxos</a> also helps secure these transactions. This setup ensures the verification and security of each transaction. The current list of these verifiers when launched is Paxos, Google Cloud, and LayerZero Labs. These verifiers still bring extra checks and balances to the exchange process and shield it from potential problems. PayPal can also add the several verifiers offered by Paxos to ensure better security.</p>
<p>Jose Fernandez da Ponte, PayPal’s SVP of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and Digital Currencies, says this new feature brings extra value for PYUSD holders. It is helpful now that PayPal users can use PYUSD in the digital economy. It gives users more options for where and how to spend digital dollars.</p>
