LayerZero OFT (omnichain fungible token) is a multichain token framework built on the modular, highly customizable LayerZero messaging protocol. While it theoretically supports any form of validation, ~100% of messages are validated by multisig-like smart contracts called DVNs (“Decentralized” ValidatorIn the context of L2s, a Validator is an actor that validates the correctness of state transitions. For optimistic rollups this corresponds to challengers, and for ZK rollups this corresponds to the onchain verifier Networks). The protocol supports a vast set of EVM and non-EVM destinations.

Architecture

LayerZero deploys a single Endpoint contract on each supported chain. This contract serves as the chain-central registry for omnichain apps (OApps) and their owners and delegates. An Oapp is a smart contract that interacts with the LayerZero protocol through a standardized messaging interface. The most popular OApp flavor is the omnichain fungible token (OFT) standard, which enables the transport of tokens across LayerZero-supported chains. Token owners can deploy OFT Adapter smart contracts (OApps themselves) that connect traditional tokens to the LayerZero protocol. New tokens can be directly bound to LayerZero by deploying them as a native OFT smart contract, which is automatically an OApp on LayerZero.

Crosschain oracle and validation

The modular LayerZero messaging protocol supports any smart contract logic as its validation mechanism. In practice and by default, multisignature wallets and EOAs validate and deliver crosschain messages, called packets in LZ terms. OApp owner addresses or their onchain delegates can override the default security config for their OApp in each local Endpoint contract. Each library or setting that is not explicitly configured falls back to the default config. Security configs consist of a validation library (smart contract) and its various settings (like the actual validating multisigs and their threshold) and importantly can be set on each chain separately and then for each peer chain from/to that chain. For example, a single OFT that is live on 20 chains can have 20x20=400 security configs, counting incoming configs only. A misconfiguration or exploit in any single one of those 400 validation configs can compromise the example OFT.

UpgradeabilityThe ability for rollup smart contracts and parameters used in a rollup to be updated by holders of an admin key. Upgradeability represents a vector of risk for users, and should be decentralized and combined with time delays for greater security guarantees.

Core protocol contract code forms a framework that points at security-critical contracts. Although the core framework contract code is immutable, the security config and its implementation contracts can be changed by permissioned actors like the LayerZero team and the OApp owners, which effectively results in system upgrades. Application-level contracts like OApps have custom upgradeability.

Monitoring

LayerZero provides a block explorer which is mostly intended for users and researchers tracking crosschain transactions and for aggregate metrics. There currently is no security or monitoring related tooling for OApp owners like global OFT accounting or global security config tracking.
