Sending Cross-Chain Messages with LayerZero or CCIP

Description

In this video, we're building a cross-chain burn-and-mint token using LayerZero V2 in Solidity from scratch. Burn tokens on Chain A and they get minted to a recipient on Chain B, with full message verification, peer trust setup, and failure recovery. The same pattern applies to Chainlink CCIP with minor adjustments. Cross-chain messaging is the backbone of multi-chain DeFi, but most tutorials hide the actual mechanics behind heavy framework abstractions. We're going to inline the LayerZero V2 interfaces and walk through every piece: how endpoints work, what DVNs verify, why peer mappings are your trust root, and how to handle messages that fail on the destination chain without permanently stalling the lane. What you'll walk away with: A complete CrossChainBurnMint contract under 250 lines of Solidity LayerZero V2 OApp pattern implemented from scratch Burn-and-mint vs lock-and-mint architecture explained Peer trust setup using bytes32 addresses for non-EVM compatibility Inbound message verification via Origin srcEid and sender checks Try/catch failure handling with retry mechanism for stuck messages Native fee quoting before sending cross-chain transactions Options encoding for destination gas configuration A direct comparison with how Chainlink CCIP achieves the same flow We'll also cover the production warnings that tutorials usually skip. Setting sane gas options, freezing your message format before launch, adding pause guards for incident response, and rate limiting per destination chain to cap blast radius if a peer gets compromised. This tutorial assumes you're comfortable with intermediate Solidity and understand basic ERC-20 mechanics. By the end, you'll be able to ship a cross-chain token to any of the 80+ chains LayerZero supports.
