Messaging Protocols
LayerZero, CCIP.
Beyond Token Bridges
Moving tokens is just the start. Cross-chain messaging protocols let contracts on one chain send arbitrary data and trigger functions on another.
This generalizes bridging into full cross-chain application logic.
What Is a Messaging Protocol?
A messaging protocol is infrastructure that delivers a payload from a source-chain contract to a destination-chain contract, with some security guarantee about authenticity.
Developers build on top of it instead of operating their own validators.
