Developers building with Polyhedra can create secure, scalable, interoperable applications without additional assumptions. To date, zkBridge has secured over 20 million cross-chain transactions, including millions of messages sent using the LayerZero protocol. In March 2024 the company closed $20M in funding at a $1 billion valuation.
