LayerZero Integrates with Sui to Unlock Seamless Cross-Chain Asset Flow

Source: LayerZero and Sui Forge a Powerful Interoperability Partnership

LayerZero, a top interoperability protocol connecting over 140 blockchains and facilitating transfers exceeding $120 billion, has officially partnered with Sui to unlock large-scale connectivity for Sui-based assets.

Breaking Down Barriers for Multi-Chain Coordination

Christian Thompson, Managing Director at Sui Foundation, highlights the partnership's goal: “Remove friction users and builders face in today’s fragmented crypto landscape.” By integrating with LayerZero, Sui joins the multi-chain economy as a “first-class participant,” enabling assets and applications to move faster and more smoothly within the Sui ecosystem.

Expanding Asset Flow Into and Out of Sui

LayerZero enables both incoming and outgoing asset transfers for Sui through its OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard, which preserves a single global supply across chains to avoid fragmentation.

LayerZero already supports 400+ assets worth over $80 billion, including tokens like WBTC, PYUSD, and USDT.
This integration will allow OFT-compatible assets to be issued directly (natively) on Sui.
Bryan Pellegrino, LayerZero Labs CEO, calls Sui a “perfect fit” for expanding LayerZero’s network thanks to its performance, scalability, and developer-friendly design.

Scalable Interoperability at the Core

LayerZero has established itself as a foundational infrastructure provider powering a vast multi-chain ecosystem:

Connects public and private L1s and L2s
Enables composable DeFi experiences at global scale
Handles most blockchain stablecoin movements through its network

By integrating Sui, developers gain access to cross-chain liquidity and assets spanning Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more.

Sui’s horizontally scalable design, combined with LayerZero’s messaging, forms a robust base for applications. Currently, Sui supports:

$2 billion in TVL (Total Value Locked)
Nearly $13 billion in monthly DEX trading volume

Empowering Builders and Users Alike

Sui delivers parallel execution, sub-second finality, and an object-based programming model powered by Move, allowing developers to build intuitive, scalable apps.

With LayerZero integrated, builders can:
