Wyoming drops LayerZero and adopts Chainlink CCIP for Frontier Stable Token
Under the new setup, the Commission will fully retire its LayerZero implementation and use Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain transfers.
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has selected Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for its Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), replacing LayerZero after a security review.
FRNT is Wyoming’s fiat-backed, fully reserved stable token and is designed to provide digital-dollar infrastructure for individuals, businesses, institutions and public-sector applications, including payments and settlements. The Commission currently supports FRNT across eight networks, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Hedera, Optimism, Polygon and Solana.
The Commission said the migration was driven by concerns identified during its assessment of LayerZero’s disclosure practices and operational security.
“Following the review, the Commission decided to adopt Chainlink CCIP as it is the only cross-chain infrastructure that met our stringent security and reliability requirements across the board,” Anthony Apollo, Executive Director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, said in a statement.
CCIP provides several layers of security, including SOC 2 Type 2 certification, audited code, monitoring, built-in risk controls and decentralized transaction validation. Chainlink said every transaction is redundantly validated by at least 16 independent node operators, while its underlying oracle infrastructure has facilitated more than $33 trillion in transaction value.

“Wyoming has consistently been a leader in digital asset policy and public-sector blockchain adoption, and their selection of CCIP shows that governments and other serious institutions need secure, reliable, and standard-setting infrastructure to move digital assets across chains at scale,” Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, stated. “This is another important step toward a globally connected onchain financial system, and we look forward to working with the Commission to help define the next generation of financial markets.”
The migration is also consistent with Wyoming’s ongoing effort to maintain a multi-chain approach to FRNT. The state previously encouraged the Commission to remain technology-neutral when selecting blockchain networks, and the stable token has expanded to eight chains through a recurring selection process.
