Cross-chain messaging layers like LayerZero are tokenizing in 2025, raising questions about their market impact. By abstracting interoperability, these protocols capture value across multiple ecosystems. Their tokens may become core infrastructure assets, similar to L1 tokens but focused on communication rather than execution. This could reshape power dynamics: messaging protocols act as neutral hubs, collecting fees from many chains. However, security risks remain, as centralization and message validation are critical attack points. If adoption scales, these assets may become as systemically important as major bridges or L1 tokens.
