Apex Fusion’s NEXUS chain is now live with LayerZero (ZRO), connecting its ecosystem to more than 145 blockchains, including Solana (SOL) and major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks.
The integration establishes a bridge between Cardano’s (ADA) UTxO-based architecture and the wider EVM landscape through Apex Fusion’s VECTOR chain, marking the first live connection of its kind.
Integration connects Cardano and EVM ecosystems
The move allows developers building on NEXUS to access liquidity and users across over 60 LayerZero-supported ecosystems without relying on bespoke bridges.
Teams can deploy omnichain applications and tokens that function seamlessly across connected networks, supported by familiar Solidity tooling, Tenderly integration, and Apex Fusion’s developer onboarding programs.
“This is a pivotal moment for both the Cardano and EVM communities,” said Christopher Greenwood, Chief Operating Officer of Apex Fusion Foundation. “With LayerZero live on NEXUS, and VECTOR set as the default route for Cardano tokens, Apex Fusion delivers a live, production-grade liquidity fabric connecting UTxO, EVM, and Solana.”
The integration also benefits enterprises, offering configurable security through LayerZero’s DVN framework for regulated use cases. Businesses gain access to unified liquidity spanning Cardano, EVM, and Solana from a single environment, simplifying cross-chain operations and expanding opportunities for omnichain finance.
Following the LayerZero integration, Apex Fusion plans to activate a VECTOR-to-NEXUS route to bring Cardano-native assets directly into LayerZero’s ecosystem. Liquidity will also flow through Stargate and OFT mechanisms to support native asset transfers, positioning Apex Fusion as a key link between previously siloed blockchain networks.
