Wyoming Moves FRNT From LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP After Review
According to Wyoming Stable Token Commission, Wyoming has moved the cross-chain infrastructure supporting its state-issued Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), replacing the token’s previous LayerZero implementation.
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission said the decision followed a review that raised concerns about LayerZero’s disclosure practices and operational security. Under the new arrangement, Chainlink CCIP will serve as FRNT’s exclusive cross-chain infrastructure under a multiyear agreement. The change affects how the token operates across blockchain networks rather than replacing FRNT itself.
Wyoming launched FRNT as a state-issued dollar-backed stable token with reserves backing the token and interest generated from those reserves directed toward the state’s School Foundation Program. The commission’s decision places the infrastructure used to support these cross-chain functions under a new provider.
Wyoming Moves FRNT Cross-Chain Infrastructure To Chainlink
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has completed its migration from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP for the cross-chain infrastructure supporting FRNT. Under the new agreement, CCIP will serve as the exclusive infrastructure for FRNT’s cross-chain operations.
The commission said the decision followed a detailed security review of the existing implementation. FRNT, or Frontier Stable Token, is a fiat-backed, fully reserved stable token issued by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission. The commission was established under the Wyoming Stable Token Act, and FRNT launched in January 2026. According to the commission, the token is backed by U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasuries, with income from those reserves helping support Wyoming’s School Foundation Program.
The latest announcement concerns the infrastructure behind FRNT’s cross-chain functionality. CCIP is Chainlink’s protocol for interoperability between blockchain networks, allowing digital assets and messages to move between supported chains.
Wyoming said FRNT is currently deployed on eight public blockchains: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Hedera, Optimism, Polygon and Solana. The commission initially used LayerZero’s omnichain fungible token standard for its deployment but has now decided to fully deprecate that implementation.
The distinction is important because the announcement does not describe a change to FRNT’s underlying purpose or its status as Wyoming’s state-issued stable token. The change is instead focused on the technology supporting its operation across multiple networks. Chainlink also highlighted the migration through its official X account, describing CCIP as the infrastructure now supporting Wyoming’s FRNT stable token.
Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlin, also posted about this development on X and stated that, “With this recent switch over to CCIP, I am truly thrilled to have seen how a government department’s rigorous security review has found that Chainlink’s CCIP is the best choice for their high standards, that says a lot. Security and reliability truly does matter when choosing oracle and cross-chain infrastructure that will enable important on-chain transactions, this is the premise that Chainlink’s design is based on.”
Security Review Led To The Infrastructure Change
The commission said the decision to move away from LayerZero followed a security review that raised concerns about the protocol’s disclosure practices and operational security. Anthony Apollo, executive director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, said the commission chose CCIP after determining that it met its security and reliability requirements.
These statements represent the commission’s assessment of the infrastructure it was using. They should not be interpreted as an independent finding that LayerZero is generally insecure or unsuitable for other blockchain projects.
The commission also highlighted several features it considered relevant to its decision, including monitoring systems, risk controls, audits and CCIP’s decentralized validation structure. According to the announcement, CCIP transactions are redundantly validated by at least 16 independent node operators. These details were provided by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission and Chainlink as part of the announcement.
The move comes as Wyoming continues to develop its state-backed digital-asset program. The commission describes FRNT as the first fiat-backed, fully reserved stable token issued by a public entity in the United States. It is intended for uses including payments and settlement, while its reserve income supports the state’s School Foundation Program.
