STG (Stargate’s native token) leads with $4.26 billion in total value transferred, followed by USDC.e via Stargate Hydra at $3.78 billion. Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, USDC.e) and wrapped assets (WETH, BTC.b), reflecting strong demand for bridging these high-liquidity assets.
Application Spotlight: Stargate
Stargate is LayerZero’s flagship application. Its OFT tokens collectively represent the largest share of cross-chain value:
| Token | FDV | Transfers | Value Transferred |
| STG | $183,967,990 | 4,358,552 | $4,257,786,662 |
| USDC.e | $51,971,499 | 1,335,648 | $3,784,091,243 |
| WETH | $31,973,437 | 184,361 | $3,346,737,368 |
| USDT0.s | $1,791,918 | 342,305 | $182,315,124 |
| USDT | $10,358,270 | 135,342 | $164,178,906 |
Application Spotlight: CoreDAO and Aptos Bridge
LayerZero’s omnichain infrastructure supports a diverse set of high-volume applications, stablecoins, and developer environments.
CoreDAO: A Stablecoin Powerhouse
USDT alone accounts for $3.64 billion transferred across 3.79 million transactions, making it one of the most actively routed assets. The Core Blockchain Mainnet hosts the largest share of this activity, with $1.82 billion in USDT transfers.
In addition, USDC contributes another $896 million, reinforcing CoreDAO’s role as a high-throughput liquidity venue. The combination of large value totals and millions of transfers suggests sustained, utility-driven usage rather than isolated spikes.
CoreDAO’s footprint illustrates how LayerZero enables stablecoins to move efficiently across chains while anchoring substantial activity to specific mainnet environments.
Aptos Bridge: Expanding Beyond EVM
Aptos Bridge represents LayerZero’s expansion into non-EVM ecosystems through connectivity with Aptos.
Among bridged assets:
- USDC leads with $1.77 billion transferred
- USDT follows with $1.24 billion
- WETH contributes $601 million
The Aptos chain itself receives the largest portion of bridge activity, with $879 million in USDC alone.
This distribution demonstrates that omnichain liquidity is not confined to EVM networks. Instead, LayerZero’s messaging framework allows capital to flow seamlessly into alternative execution environments while maintaining unified token standards.
Chain-Level Distribution: EURA (Angle)
Angle Protocol’s EURA stablecoin provides a clear example of multi-chain diversification.
EURA is distributed across 13 chains, with leading activity concentrated on:
- Gnosis: $279M transferred across 2.79M transfers
- Celo Mainnet: $253M across 2.28M transfers
- Polygon: $71.7M
- Arbitrum: $70.8M
This broad footprint highlights meaningful euro-denominated liquidity across multiple ecosystems rather than reliance on a single chain. The high transfer counts also indicate frequent usage patterns consistent with stablecoin settlement and DeFi integrations.
Testnet Bridge and Developer Activity
Beyond production liquidity, the highly active testnet environment powered by LayerZero.
- GoerliETH records over 2.49 million transfers
- SepoliaETH exceeds 1.89 million transfers and more than 45 million in value transferred
- MainnetETH logs tens of thousands of transfers within the staging environment
At the chain level, GoerliETH interacts with Arbitrum, Optimism, and Ethereum, generating hundreds of thousands to millions of transfers per network. SepoliaETH similarly spans Sepolia, Optimism, and Ethereum.
This dense cross-chain mesh confirms that LayerZero functions not only as a production bridge but also as core infrastructure for protocol testing, integration validation, and omnichain simulation.
Additional OFT Ecosystem Highlights
The surfaces several other major omnichain assets.
BTC.b Multi-Chain Distribution
BTC.b distributes value across Avalanche, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, and Ethereum.
- Avalanche alone processes over $285 million in BTC.b transfers with nearly 1.5 million transfers
- Arbitrum and BNB Chain each handle more than half a million transfers alongside nine-figure value totals
This demonstrates strong cross-chain Bitcoin-pegged liquidity across multiple execution environments.
MIM and Cross-Chain DeFi Liquidity
Under Abracadabra Money, the MIM stablecoin exhibits widespread adoption.
- Arbitrum logs over $185 million in transferred value
- Ethereum, Avalanche, Fantom, BNB Chain, Moonriver, Optimism, Kava, Polygon, Base, and Bera all record meaningful activity
- Several chains show hundreds of thousands of transfers
This breadth underscores MIM’s role as a cross-chain DeFi building block within the OFT framework.
USDC as a Unified Omnichain Asset
USDC appears across a wide network matrix via multiple applications:
- Nearly $879 million routed to Aptos
- Active presence on Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, Base, and Core Blockchain Mainnet
Each network records distinct transfer counts and value totals, emphasizing how OFT-enabled USDC routes liquidity across both EVM and non-EVM environments under a unified LayerZero messaging layer.
Combining Production and Testnet Liquidity
Testnet assets coexist within the same messaging and OFT infrastructure. Production tokens like STG, USDT, USDC, EURA, MIM, WETH, and BTC.b show multibillion-dollar or multimillion-dollar transfer volumes. Side by side, testnet representations such as GoerliETH and SepoliaETH record high transfer counts without necessarily tracking full dollar value on every chain.
Strategic Role of LayerZero in the Omnichain Era
How LayerZero functions as a unifying backbone for omnichain assets and applications. The protocol supports:
- High‑volume applications such as Stargate, Merkly, Angle, CoreDAO, Aptos Bridge, and DeFi Kingdoms, each spanning multiple chains with millions of messages.
- A large and diverse OFT catalog where leading tokens like STG, USDT, USDC, EURA, BTC.b, WETH, and MIM have transferred billions of dollars in aggregate.
- A broad chain matrix of 168+ networks, from mainnet L1s and L2s (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Gnosis, Celo, Base, Linea, Kava, Fantom, Mantle, Scroll, Bera, and more) to non‑EVM and testnet environments such as Aptos, Goerli, and Sepolia.
For builders, these numbers demonstrate that LayerZero is not only a messaging protocol but also a foundational liquidity and connectivity layer for the broader multichain ecosystem. For full-chain TVL comparisons across six major networks, read the Feb 2–8 On-Chain Report.
Final Notes
LayerZero’s performance across messages, value transferred, OFTs, applications, and chains. From the dominance of Stargate and the scale of stablecoin flows to the breadth of OFT deployments and testnet activity, the reflects a protocol that already underpins a significant share of cross-chain activity in Web3.
