Wyoming Stable Token Commission Ditches LayerZero for Chainlink's CCIP

Wyoming's Stable Token Commission moved its FRNT stable token from LayerZero to Chainlink's CCIP due to security concerns. LayerZero lost control of a critical private key, while Chainlink offers a more secure infrastructure with 16 node operators and SOC 2 Type 2 certification. The migration follows a $292 million exploit linked to North Korean hackers.
