Speeding up web2 to web3 migration with LayerZero’s omnichain interoperability
We know how difficult it is switching between chains especially when you don’t have a spare 60 minutes to configure the best route strategy… And how important it is to optimize the transaction speed and reduce gas fees. Whether you’re a metaverse enthusiast, a web3 entrepreneur, a cryptocurrency investor or just curious to learn… Having a simple to use tool that facilitates cross chain ID management is a key to overcoming this problem.
But it’s not easy figuring out how to aggregate your ID’s across multiple chains. After struggling for months working out the best ways to streamline this process we decided to partner with Layer Zero, attempting to help other people facing this same issue.
And here you are! Using Layer Zero, Star Protocol has now deployed smart contracts across Aptos, Polygon, Ethereum, Avalanche & Sui with cross chain messaging between each. With the list of chains growing each week and the final smart contract audits concluding, we thought it best to write an overview on the underlying premise behind this service.
Our project Star is building the first DID and social ID aggregator protocol on top of LayerZero’s cross-chain messaging service. Providing a Web3 directory for connecting each user’s social network account with Decentralized IDs (DIDs) and multi-chain wallet addresses.

🔥 Main Takeaways of L0 Integration
- Star uses Layer Zero’s cross chain messaging service to synchronize messaging and smart contracts across each blockchain.
- Star binds social network accounts with wallet addresses in one click, while LayerZero provides Star’s users with messages passing across multiple chains.
🚀 Key Benefits of L0 integration
Star uses LayerZero’s omnichain interoperability for lightweight message passing across multiple chains. Where Layer Zero provides authentic and guaranteed message delivery with configurable trustlessness.
The main benefit from using L0’s tech is the ability for users to bind their wallet addresses and social network accounts together across every blockchain without connecting each chain manually.
To do this Star uses L0 to create a cross chain domain name service. This massively simplifies web3 usability for users as they only require a single unique domain name to transfer or receive digital assets, play games in the metaverse, mint NFTs, or interact with these digital assets through social platforms.
⚙️ How we integrate L0 into our project
If we are binding EVM compatible accounts with another social network ID, e.g. once the binding take place if you want to bind twitter account with another public chain you have to bind it again by posting again on your Facebook and then your Twitter feed again but with layer zero this process only occurs once.
Another is from using an omnichain NFT. Utilising our omni-chain NFT protocol in our Star Name Service, enables users to send/receive NFTs cross-chain.
Developers can generate tokenized artwork and list these on their profiles, powered by the Star Protocol browser extension. All this without worrying about centralized NFT marketplaces. Not only do you access a one-click gateway to all your social profiles, but you can also monetize all your social activities and interactions.
