LayerZero and TACEO announced the integration of Merces privacy layer with LayerZero’s cross-chain messaging infrastructure, enabling token transfers that shield both participant identities and transfer amounts. Merces, launched on mainnet on September 24, 2026 on Monad and World Chain, wraps ERC-20 tokens into private virtual accounts using secret sharing and multi-party computation. TACEO, a spin-off from Austrian university TU Graz founded in July 2022, processed roughly 5 million demo transactions on testnets at approximately 300 transactions per second. This integration specifically targets institutional use cases, such as corporate stablecoin transfers, addressing the long-standing concerns of financial institutions regarding blockchain transparency.
