Nethermind Shifts Cross-Chain Operations to Chainlink

Nethermind has shifted its cross-chain operations from LayerZero to Chainlink after completing an extensive infrastructure review. The company will operate Chainlink nodes supporting CCIP and Data Feeds, strengthening Chainlink's infrastructure network as financial institutions expand their use of public blockchain systems.

Nethermind will serve as a Chainlink node operator and strategic technology provider under the new arrangement. It will provide infrastructure services, engineering tools, and integration support for teams building blockchain applications.

The company previously operated decentralized verifier infrastructure within LayerZero's cross-chain messaging system but has now ended that verifier role and shifted its focus to CCIP on Chainlink.
