IOTA’s ShimmerEVM integrates LayerZero for cross-chain communication
- ShimmerEVM’s integration with LayerZero is expected to enhance cross-chain communication and DeFi on IOTA’s ShimmerEVM.
- Connectivity includes with Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain and Optimism among other chains.
IOTA’s ShimmerEVM has integrated with LayerZero to bring cross-chain messaging technology to users, according to an announcement published on December 27.
The integration extends ShimmerEVM’s connectivity to major blockchains, enabling further interoperability via a unified cross-chain ecosystem, Shimmer posted on X. Per details in its blog post, this move means users will now be able to interact and transact across several networks while within the Shimmer ecosystem.
ShimmerEVM’s cross-chain connectivity
Shimmer Shimmer is a blockchain platform within the IOTA ecosystem from where developers can build and deploy decentralised applications (dApps), with access to features currently unavailable on IOTA’s mainnet. ShimmerEVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer of the platform.
Meanwhile, LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol whose cross-chain messaging technology allows for communication across multiple blockchains.
ShimmerEVM’s leveraging of LayerZero’s messaging infrastructure extends this cross-chain communication capability to the broader Shimmer ecosystem.
Big news for cross-chain communication & #DeFi advancements for our ecosystem🔥! @LayerZero_Labs is integrating with #ShimmerEVM. The integration extends our connectivity to major blockchains, steering us closer to a unified cross-chain ecosystem.

Following this collaboration, Shimmer is set to see an initial connection to other blockchain networks. These will include Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Fantom and Base, the platform noted.
Interoperability with these networks means the exchange of assets and information is set to be easier, heralding a new era for DeFi within the ShimmerEVM ecosystem.
LayerZero’s integration with ShimmerEVM comes a few days after its collaboration with Blockdaemon. It also follows recent revelations of a potential LayerZero token launch in 2024.
Sui Foundation has recently made an important partnership agreement with Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, which will help develop DeFi solutions on the Sui platform. This will give the Sui ecosystem developers support and additional guidance in enhancing blockchain solutions and products.
Franklin Templeton Joins Sui Foundation to Support Blockchain Projects
A recent blog post reveals that Franklin Templeton Digital Assets will partner with the Sui Foundation to support developers deploying and working on Sui. The partnership will increase the use of decentralized finance (DeFi) in the execution of various projects and the deployment of enhanced blockchain technologies.
Franklin Templeton brings years of experience in blockchain-based technology, including node validation and investment strategies. Its dedicated research team focuses on tokenomics and leverages data science for informed decisions. Key projects highlighted by the partnership include Deepbook, Karrier One, and Ika, which showcase the scalability and security of the blockchain.
Sui Blockchain Records Impressive DeFi Growth Metrics
The blockchain has demonstrated remarkable performance in the DeFi sector since its mainnet launch in May 2023. It recorded a 675% growth in total value locked (TVL) and a 956% increase in DeFi transaction volume. These metrics underscore the platform’s efficiency, enabled by its massive parallelization technology, low transaction latency, and consistently low gas fees.
Projects like Deepbook and Karrier One benefit from Sui’s advanced infrastructure, driving developer interest and ecosystem expansion. The partnership with Franklin Templeton will boost this growth trajectory further.
Can Price Soar to $18 After 740% Rally?
Additionally, the blockchain’s native token, SUI, has seen a 740% price increase in just four months, outperforming other Layer-1 blockchains like Solana. The token is currently trading at $3.51, with analysts predicting that the SUI price could reach $18 during this bull cycle, provided it breaks key resistance levels at $3.93. Market analysts note that the price rally was driven by the blockchain’s innovative capabilities and growing DeFi adoption.
Recently, the Sui Network faced a two-hour outage that temporarily halted block production. Validators encountered technical challenges, prompting the Sui team to deploy a fix swiftly. While the network resumed normal operations, the incident raised concerns among the community.

- Bangkok will host the Open AGI Summit on November 13 alongside DevCon 2024.
- The summit focuses on ethical AI development through decentralized governance models.
- Prominent speakers include Pramod Viswanath and Sandeep Nailwal from leading firms.
Bangkok is set to be the epicenter of innovation as it hosts the Open AGI Summit on November 13, 2024, in conjunction with DevCon, a major blockchain developer conference.
These unique events aim to explore the intersection of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and decentralized technologies, fostering dialogue about the ethical implications of AI in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Supported by flagship partners including Google Cloud, Sentient, Polygon Labs, and SCB 10X|SCBX, the Open AGI Summit promises to engage both AI and blockchain communities.
All eyes on the Open AGI Summit
As the world advances toward AGI, concerns about centralized control and potential societal risks are becoming increasingly prominent. The Open AGI Summit seeks to address these anxieties by examining how decentralized, blockchain-based governance models can lead to safer and more transparent AI development.
By emphasizing collaboration and ethical dimensions, the summit aspires to ensure that AGI serves as a tool for universal benefit and prosperity.
The summit will feature prominent voices from the fields of AI, blockchain, and web3, including Pramod Viswanath, a professor of engineering at Princeton University, and Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon.
Nailwal highlights the critical decision society faces: to allow a handful of corporations to dominate AI technology or to embrace a future where AI is open, transparent, and accessible to all. He asserts that blockchain technology can ensure the equitable distribution of AI benefits, guided by collective values.
Discussions at the summit will cover essential topics, including advancements in AI safety research, decentralized governance structures, and ethical considerations in AI development.
Attendees can expect a deep dive into the innovative synergy between AI and blockchain, emphasizing emerging applications that could redefine industries.
Ultimately, the Open AGI Summit aims to bridge the gap between academia, industry, and the decentralized AI community, fostering collaboration towards responsible AGI development.
This convergence is essential for ensuring that AI technologies are built with a commitment to ethical principles and societal benefit, marking a significant step toward a safe and beneficial future for AGI.
