LayerZero Labs has secured both SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 accreditations covering its entire infrastructure, validating its internal controls around data security, availability, and confidentiality. The cross-chain messaging protocol connects more than 160 blockchains and counts major financial players like Citadel Securities, DTCC, ICE, Google Cloud, and ARK Invest among its partners. The SOC 2 Type 2 certification requires controls to demonstrate operational effectiveness over a period of three to twelve months. The accreditation aligns with LayerZero’s planned launch of the Zero blockchain in February 2026, built for high-throughput institutional use cases. The native token ZRO could benefit indirectly if the certification helps unlock new institutional volumes flowing through LayerZero’s messaging layer.
