LayerZero (ZRO) is the governance token for the LayerZero cross-chain messaging protocol, making it a target for users who participate in protocol governance or need to position across the ecosystem. ZRO is available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base, so users often swap to move ZRO onto whichever network aligns with their activity. Choosing the right network matters both for compatibility and for managing the underlying gas costs of the destination chain.
Before swapping ZRO, confirm which network your receiving wallet or platform supports — ZRO exists on Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base, and sending to the wrong network can result in inaccessible funds. Each network has its own settlement characteristics and associated gas token, so the fees and confirmation time will differ depending on your chosen route. Arbitrum and Base are layer-2 networks that generally settle faster and with lower gas than Ethereum mainnet, though exact timing varies with network conditions. Zest shows you the estimated rate and destination amount before you confirm, giving you a chance to review the details and verify the receiving address and network before any funds move.
