Across Protocol founder Hart Lambur once again posted about LayerZero.
Lambur said that the comments he made in the past few days were not an attack on LayerZero, but just an attempt to have a correct discussion about the security situation. Judging from LayerZero’s current default configuration, the project’s performance in terms of decentralization is not satisfactory. LayerZero runs the repeater on its own server. The code is closed source. Its oracle also chooses Google by default. This is a completely centralized service and also closed source.
Lambur continued: “My point is that it is both dangerous and unethical for LayerZero to claim to users that its system is decentralized, because that is not the case. Any wstETH bridged to a chain such as BNB through LayerZero’s OFT standard, simply Shutting down one of the two computers running (the repeater, the Google oracle) becomes a brick, and that cannot be allowed."
Lambur concluded: "I hope developers considering using LayerZero will ask these important questions, and I also hope LayerZero will have an open and transparent dialogue about their design choices."
