🚨 NEW info just dropped about why the Wyoming government deprecated
@LayerZero_Core and migrated
$FRNT to
@Chainlink CCIP 👀
And it doesn’t look good 🤦♂️
According to
@LawhornKA, CISO of the Wyoming Stable Token Commisison (
@wyostable), the Commission conducted an extensive review of LayerZero Labs’ security posture and access-control processes
From this review, they discovered a repeated pattern of major operational security failures at
@LayerZero_Labs, including:
- the failure to maintain proper control of a critical private key used to manage a live production FRNT deployment (!!)
- a recent access-control issue in which the company failed to transfer a production authorization to the Commission
- inadequate disclosures provided about incidents, both public and private
Yes, you read that right, LayerZero Labs lost control of a private key used to manage a live production deployment of the Wyoming state government’s stablecoin
This massive issue is in ADDITION to the $292 million LayerZero exploit, in which hackers affiliated with North Korea (DPRK) breached LayerZero Labs’ infra
And in addition to LayerZero Labs’ mismanagement of 3 production multisig keys that were engaged in non-multisig related activity (incl “McPepes” memecoin trading) on their production 2-of-5 Gnosis Safe multisig used to manage billions in user value
TL;DR: Based on all available public information,
@LayerZero_Labs has one of the worst operational security track records in the entire blockchain industry and should be never allowed to touch a multisig private key ever again
