> Affected networks include Taiko, Zora and Aurora. Stargate Hydra support will also end on some chains, with users urged to redeem certain assets.

LayerZero is ending off-chain support for 13 lower-activity blockchain networks, removing access to its DVN and Executor services and ending Stargate Hydra support on some chains.

The affected networks are Aurora, Taiko, Japan Open Chain, LightLink, Viction, Animechain, XPLA, Merlin, Gnosis, Zora, Otherworld Space, XAI and opBNB.

LayerZero said the networks will no longer be able to use its DVN and Executor services. The change will also end Stargate Hydra support for some of the affected chains.

Users were urged to redeem Hydra assets held on those networks, including USDC.e, wETH and Hydra USDT.

LayerZero said the affected networks and effective dates would be detailed in its official announcement.
