Nethermind Abandons LayerZero for Chainlink Amid Cross-Chain Infrastructure Review

Nethermind, an Ethereum engineering firm, has left its role as a LayerZero verifier and joined Chainlink as a node operator and strategic technology provider.

The move follows an 'extensive review' by Nethermind, although the company did not disclose any specific technical or operational factors that led to this decision.

Nethermind will help operate Chainlink's network while providing engineering tools, infrastructure services, and integration support to blockchain developers.
