Tenet Partners with LayerZero to Increase Omnichain LSD Adoption
Tenet, a functional layer-1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK, has recently forged a groundbreaking partnership with LayerZero, an Omnichain interoperability protocol. As contained in a press release shared with Coinspeaker, the partnership that is valued at over $3 billion is focused on developing the use cases of Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD).
One of the key advantages of this partnership is the ease with which liquidity can be transferred to and from Tenet. Users no longer need to navigate complex and time-consuming processes to move their assets between different chains.
With LayerZero’s Omnichain framework, liquidity transfers become streamlined and efficient, empowering users to take full control of their assets and engage in a broader range of DeFi activities.
Interestingly, the collaboration between Tenet and LayerZero extends beyond interoperability and liquidity transfers. As part of the collaboration, Tenet is launching a bridge powered by LayerZero technology. This bridge will be a critical infrastructural component, allowing for the seamless bridging of Omnichain LSDs between any chain in the LayerZero network.
This functionality empowers users to take advantage of various blockchain ecosystems, unlocking a multitude of opportunities for liquidity utilization and investment strategies.
While commenting on the partnership, Greg Gopman, Co-founder of Tenet highlighted that the partnership with LayerZero is critical for Tenet’s success.
“While the initial integration is helpful in connecting our chain to the large LayerZero network to leverage its cross-chain liquidity, it also enables us to create truly omnichain LSDs for any asset. This reduces the barriers of entry and sets us up as the leading LSD ecosystem for all of DeFi,” he added.
Different Stages of the Tenet and Omnichain Integration
The first stage of the integration is already live on the Tenet network, opening up new possibilities for collaboration and expansion. As part of this initial phase, a LayerZero endpoint has been established on the Tenet network.
This integration allows users to create projects and tokens backed by LayerZero technology, enabling seamless connectivity between Tenet and the diverse array of networks powered by the LayerZero protocol.
For the second phase, the collaboration between Tenet and LayerZero will extend to Tenet’s LSDs. Tenet’s distinct consensus mechanism, Diversified Proof-of-Stake (DiPoS), is critical to the integration of LSDs with LayerZero. DiPoS enables LSDs to be utilized as staking assets within the Tenet network, improving overall ecosystem security.
Notably, this partnership comes at a crucial time when the demand for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) solutions and liquid staking derivatives is rapidly growing. The collaboration between Tenet and LayerZero has important implications for the larger blockchain ecosystem.
As these two significant platforms combine their experience and resources, they have the potential to set new standards for decentralized banking and uncover a plethora of opportunities for developers and consumers alike.
Meanwhile, in recent times, Tenet has established a number of strategic alliances with large layer-1 chains, including a foray into the Asian market with Conflux and Qtum.
