LayerZero is making significant moves by introducing vApps: verifiable applications designed for actual internet-scale performance. vApps lets developers build Web3 apps like Web2 apps — fast, smooth, and without all the usual blockchain headaches.
Thanks to Rust and zkvm, along with a significant contribution from Succinct Labs, LayerZero provides developers with everything they need to scale without getting bogged down.
Why vApps Are a Big Deal
Before vApps, building on crypto rails meant juggling different codebases, struggling with slow rollups, and battling endless fragmentation. It wasn’t pretty. Now, with vApps, you get one clean SDK that lets you build:
- Apps for a single-chain.
- Apps that span many chains.
- Hybrid apps that bridge Web2 and Web3.
And you won’t have to worry about the infrastructure anymore—vApps handle execution, proof generation, verification, and interoperability for you.
Fast and Light execution
Let’s talk numbers. Benchmarks using Succinct Labs’ zkVM show:
- Up to 832× fewer cycles than old EVM setups
- 95.7% faster proving cycles (thanks, precompiles)
- 30× throughput gains with GPU power
- Proof sizes compressed from 346MB to just 1.5MB
vApps are fast and lightweight—perfect for scaling blockchain apps to real-world internet usage.

What This Means for You
As a Web2 developer, you can add blockchain-level verifiability to IoT data, APIs, or financial data without requiring extensive knowledge of backend crypto.
If you’re a Web3 developer, you can finally ditch the compromises—no more slow L1s, messy L2s, or cross-chain hacks.
