@centrifuge ($CFG) introduced the Vault Development Kit on November 11, 2026. The kit provides building blocks for creating onchain funds, allowing developers to choose the rules each product needs while it handles accounting, settlement and cross-chain connections.
@LayerZero_Core ($ZRO) said its cross-chain technology is available through the kit. Security audits are still underway, but developers can already review the documentation and code ahead of launch.
How the Vault Development Kit Works
The kit has a modular design. For instance, a team developing a treasury fund could opt for instant redemptions, while a private credit product could include lockups. The kit handles the underlying infrastructure, so developers do not have to build it separately for each product.
The kit builds on Centrifuge’s existing vault standards. The protocol’s GitHub page lists asynchronous vaults (ERC-7540), which process deposits and redemptions as requests, and synchronous deposit vaults, which allow instant deposits but handle redemptions asynchronously. The protocol uses a hub-and-spoke design: each pool chooses one hub chain as its source of truth, then issues tokens and vaults across any number of spoke chains.
LayerZero Partnership Background
The LayerZero integration follows an earlier agreement. In March 2026, LayerZero and Centrifuge announced a partnership to bring Centrifuge’s tokenization and onchain asset infrastructure into the LayerZero ecosystem. Under the arrangement, issuers can launch a tokenized fund and then extend access across 165 ecosystems without rebuilding the product for each new chain.
The first Centrifuge assets to adopt LayerZero included JTRSY, JAAA and SPXA, with access extending to chains including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Base, Optimism and HyperEVM. JTRSY is Centrifuge’s largest tokenized fund, according to The Defiant. It holds about $870 million in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, according to DefiLlama data.
Moving assets between blockchains relies on a messaging layer, and a failure or attack there could affect every product that uses it. The new kit’s pending security audits are therefore worth watching ahead of launch. No launch date has been announced.
