Wyoming Switches FRNT to Chainlink After LayerZero Security Review

Key Takeaways

  • Wyoming is moving its Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP after an extensive security review.
  • The Wyoming Stable Token Commission is making CCIP the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for FRNT under a multi-year contract.
  • Based on the available figures, about $15 billion has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink, while FRNT has a market cap of less than $1 million.

Wyoming has moved its Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). That means the state-backed stablecoin is joining a broader migration wave that now totals nearly $15 billion (€13 billion), while the commission is fully phasing out LayerZero after an extensive security review.

Security Takes Priority

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission says CCIP will now be the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for FRNT, under a multi-year contract. It is notable that a U.S. government agency is publicly replacing the underlying blockchain infrastructure for security reasons, something that, based on the available information, has not happened before in this way.

That move comes four months after the attack on Kelp DAO, where 116,500 rsETH was stolen, worth about $292 million (€252 million) at the time. That hack kicked off a series of security reviews and migrations across the sector. In April 2026, it also became clear that a misconfigured single-verifier setup in LayerZero’s Decentralized Verifier Network could be abused to generate forged transaction attestations.

Growing Migration to CCIP

Wyoming is not alone. Earlier, Kelp, Solv Protocol, Re, Kraken, and others had already chosen Chainlink CCIP, after which BitGo expanded that move even further. Based on the available figures, about $15 billion (€13 billion) has now migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink, including $7.7 billion (€6.7 billion) in wrapped bitcoin earlier this month.

For European crypto readers, the key point is that this shows how quickly infrastructure risk can spill over into the market for cross-chain services. Not only private protocols, but also a public entity like Wyoming is now clearly weighing security when choosing the underlying chain infrastructure. That fits into a broader shift where stablecoins are increasingly being used as payment and settlement infrastructure, such as in Visa’s expansion of stablecoin and tokenization tools.

FRNT Remains a Niche, But Unique

FRNT currently has a market cap of less than $1 million (€0.9 million), but it is still unusual: it is the only fully backed, fiat-backed stablecoin issued by a U.S. public entity. The token runs on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum Base and Avalanche, and the yield from the reserves supports Wyoming’s School Foundation Program.
